New laptop can't find the driver software for my ipod. What should I do?

Previously I've used a family member's computer to sync their songs onto my iPod. We have very different tastes in music so I was excited to finally get my own songs on here. I now own my own laptop and have installed the most recent iTunes. However, whenever I plug the Ipod in it says "Windows needs to install driver software for your Unknown Device" I click locate and install driver software but it doesn't work and remains an Unknown Device and I can't sync songs. Should I have a CD or something for this? I have a 2nd gen. iPod nano so if I ever did get one it's long gone now...

  • A friend gave me his iPod touch 4th gen to update from 4.2.1 to ios6.0.1 I don't want this iPod associated with my account. Just want to have the latest software for him. What should I do?

    I want to update this iPod without losing all of my friends music and apps. What should I do?

    To update
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later
    Identifying iPod models
    Since you are stuck at 4.2.1 you may have a 2G iPod.
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • I'm trying to migrate data from an old Powerbook G4 to a Macbook running 10.8 - new laptop can't find the target disk

    Can anyone help me get a new(er) Macbook that's running Mountain Lion migrate data from an old PowerBook G4 running 10.4.x?
    I've restarted the G4 holding down "T" and have the Firewire icon floating around its screen, started Migration Assistant on the Macbook, telling it to get data from a Time Machine back up or other disk, have Firewire cable connected to both laptops, continue and the Macbook is just endlessly "Looking for Other Computers"....
    Any ideas?
    Anyone?

    Additionally, When I have the two laptops connected via Firewire, I do see the disk from which I'm trying to migrate data and can copy files, etc.
    Not sure if this is helpful or not but thought I'd throw it out there.

  • Where can I find the installation software for Fireworks CS5?

    I am looking for the installation for Fireworks CS5.  I have the serial number but not the disk.

    Read the instructions very carefully - all the steps must be performed in the correct order; if not, the redirect to Adobe's download page will fail.

  • How can i find the serial number for an ipod classic

    I dont have the original packaging or the reciept, It wont connect to itunes or my laptop and all that shows on the ipod's screen is a red circle with a cross inside it. I have tried to reset it but have not been able to. Any help would be much appreciated

    If your iPod Classic was the last device that you connected to and synced with your iTunes library, there is a chance you might be able to get the serial # to show up in the Device Connectivity diagnostic report. See here for instructions on running this test.
    iTunes for Windows: Device Connectivity Tests
    Otherwise, if you have previously registered the device with Apple, you can view it's serial # in your list of devices you have registered under your Apple ID.

    I need to transfer standard 9 from an exsisting laptop to a new laptop but cant find the DVD. How can I do this?

    First download AA 9 (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) and save it to a backup drive (HD and/or CD). Get your S/N (you may have to go to https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html to look it up, assuming you registered).

  • I can't find the driver for my intergrated camera for X201

    My intergrated camera spoilt previously and I received help from a lenovo technician months ago. He helped me to change it into a new integrated camera. But the problem is, the device has got no device drivers(software) in it. Therefore, right now it still can't work. I tried searching for the drivers on the lenovo site but it isn't helping at all. Because the new integrated camera that I got is of a different model known as 5U875 and I can't find the driver to install in it. Please help me. Thanks

  • My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

    My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
    The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
    I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

  • I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    Simple:
    File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
    Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
    After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.
    Regards
