Ipod/Iphone/Itunes problems - Help Please

[ronnielee54]

For about a year I have been running Itunes libraries on two separate computers. I have been able to use my three Ipods with both libraries with no problems. Recently my wife and I both got Iphones. Ever since I hooked the Iphone to my desktop PC's Itunes to update the firmware, this library will not recognize any of my Ipods. They will connect briefly and then disconnect. All devices are set to manually manage files. Is there something somewhere I am missing? The same library will recognize both of the Iphones but no Ipods. Very strange.

I don't know, but have you tried reseting one to factory defaults and re-syncing?

What kind of ipods are those? I'm presuming that you've no problems with the iPhones (3gs?)?

After the iPods disconnect in iTunes, are they still showing on Windows Explorer? Or have they dismounted too? Btw, assuming you're on Windoze... which version is it?

Classic's 5G and 6G and Nanao 3G. Iphones are 3GS and no I have no problems with them. Windows XP Pro. No. they completely disconnect.

And u can still play songs on the iPods but can't sync?

You probably should do a wipe on one of them as suggested earlier and see if it helps. If not, you should try connecting them to other comps to troubleshoot if its an iPod prob or problem with your PCs...
