Ipod already in use?

Question

Hi there,
Recently received an ipod, and installed itunes at home and at work. Put some music on the ipod at home, and then went to work, where my pc asked if i wanted to make that computer the "main one", unknowingly that this would erase all the stuff on it already, i clicked yes. No problem, can always put it back on.
Now, i'm back at home, and want to update itunes with what i've put on the ipod at the work computer, and put the music from home back on, but itunes says there's no ipod connected, although i can see it in my computers directory.
Any suggestions anyone please? Very much appreciated!

Answer 1

Quit iTunes. Unplug your iPod.
Make sure iTunes and the iPod Service are completely gone from Windows Task Manager.
1. Right-mouse click on a blank space in the task bar.
2. Select Task Manager
3. Click on the Processes tab.
4. Make sure the checkmark for "Show processes from all users" is selected.
5. Click on the words "Image Name". This will sort everything alphabetically.
6. Scroll down the list and look for anything that starts with iTunes or iPod.
7. Highlight the iTunes processes, one by one, and press the End Process button for each.
8. Close Task Manager.
9. Launch iTunes again.
10. Plug in your iPod.
