Did you try the previously suggested reboot by holding down Menu and pause buttons together? If so, did you seem to get a response from the Ipod?

If not you may need that Ipod lounge help or even apple help...

But nevertheless once you get it working it "will" be worth it!!!

Cheers,

TonyAAA

I think this is your problem. IIRC, you shouldn't format the iPod using Windows, you need to use Apple's iPod Updater software on the CD to format the iPod for Windows use.

I think bangraman and AndyH are leading the way. Use the updater you downloaded yesterday, and click "restore" instead of update. Let us know what happens then.

If you continue to have problems with iTunes, maybe try Anapod . I can vouch for the stability of Redchair software, as I use their Notmad software with my Zen.

Finally solved the problem. Firts, as pointed out, having windows format the drive reaaly screwed it up. Second, I updtaed w/ the wrong software 1.3 instead of using 2.01. All I needed to do was updtae with 2.01 software for XP and reformat. So if anyone else ever has the problem of iTunes not seeing the iPod, just update the iPod software to the latest. Thaks for everyone's help.

Glad you solved your problem.

Just for reference, formatting the iPod as a standard disk drive removes all of it's operating software - thus the iPod is unable to function as a music player.
