looks like at least you're going to need to do a restore. if you still can't sync music after the restore you may need a new logic board. there are websites that show you how to replace the logic board.

Plug in the ipod,double click on my computer and see if it shows as a drive.If so and you want this turned off,you can do it by opening itunes and going into the settings and disable hard drive mode.

Try holding the wheel down for ages. It might havepopped out of place. Or you could lever it out and raise it a bit. There might be something stuck in it that's clogging it up.

you need to download itunes from the apple website

Hi BabyBettie,
If you are from the UK I can repair this for a very small charge. It just needs a little clean of the wheels and buttons on the ribbons.

Make sure you are using a powered usb2 port. Alternatively buy yourself a mains adaptor like this one:

You can probably pick up a similar one cheaper from walmart or something.

If you are on a PC the most common reason for iTunes not recognising is because of driver corruption. The easiest way to resolve this is to download the very latest version of it from the Apple site and reinstalling it. If that doesnt work, reset the device by holding down Menu and Select until the Apple logo appears then hold down Select and Play together until the display reads 'OK to Disconnect'. Now connect it to your PC. iTunes should now recognise it and you should click the 'restore' button on the ipod main page of iTunes.

Did you try reseting it by holding the menu and center button down?

i just found this
im about to try it
hope it works :)

it just crashed, lock and unlock it 4 times then hold down the centre button and menu button at the same time, it will reboot and should be fine

Go to Start --> control Panel --> System --> Hardware --> Device Manager --> Universal Serial Bus Controllers - see if there is a yellow exclamation mark; if so, right click and select update driver

too much power and your ipod coulndt handle it. there is a technical way of explaining it but thats the simple way of saying it.

Have you tried resetting either ipod? In order to reset it, you just need to hold down both the menu button and the center button at the same time until the ipod turns off. then the apple will pop up on the screen and it will start up like normal. If this doesn't fix the problem for either ipod, then most likely the problem is with itunes or your computer. I would say that if it doesn't even show up on your computer anywhere, you're probably missing a driver or something.

ok i had the same problem...replace the handsfree..
