My ipod nano from 2006, wont synk properly. It returns the error message "ipod xxx cant syncronize, because the nessary desk is not found" (Translated from my language). I have tried to restore ipod, but it return med errormessage" Unexpected error nr. 1418". I also tried to erase/format my ipod but it does not show up in My Computer. Next i tried to v-mark use as desk, but that did not help eighter.

Update with the latest software dont fix the problem.
