Question about Apple iPod MA446LL/A MP3 Player

1 Answer

IPod is not recognized

I have an 80GB iPod video and windows XP. I have had the iPod for a few months and it was working fine, untill a few days ago when all of a sudden it was no longer recognized by my computer. I plug it into the USB port on the front of my computer and a note pops up saying that "USB Device Not Recognized". I can no longer even charge my iPod from the computer (*i must plug into my speakers to charge). Also, I recently started having the same troubles with my printer. This is all very distressing and confusing because, i have a Verizon Wireless cell phone that i can still plug into the same port and download music to. Can someone please help me!!

    My sons 80gb video ipod is not being recognized by windows or ITunes. Was working fine and then just suddenly is not being recognized. I have had 3 tech calls with Apple to no avail. Have tried all five "R"'s (except restore since ITunes will not recognize the IPod). Tech support said only option was to send back and pay $180 for replacement.

    Strange thing is the 80gb classic video ipod I bought my other son for Christmas is being recognized just fine on the same comptuer.

    Does anybody have any suggestions? (Tried ipod on another computer and it also will suddenly not recognize it)

I have a 120 gb classic and itunes 9. it was working fine until a few days ago when i had to restore it because i get errors that my ipod cannot be red from or written to and so now i dont have anything on...
check the disk format of the ipod,is it exFAT. exFAT is the new format for windows but it doesnt support most drives made before win 7 and vista,so try formatting in FAT32 on a win XP ,if not possible then try it on a MAC machine.MAC formats all support all types of ipods.

IPod Nano 8GB, 4thGen - Video Problems
So it shows up on iTunes? Trying deleting it off of your iPod and then copy it back onto it. If you can't delete it just try to copy it over again.
iTunes might have changed what type of video it is, they might have made it a music video or a tv show and they are moved to different folders
