Please help me to troubleshoot this message:

"The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but here's the background in case someone can help me.
I am a new user. I received a mini iPod for Father's Day.
I started by simply transferring my CD collection to my iPod. The other day I browsed iTunes for the first time, with a view toward buying songs to add to my iPod. I noticed that there was a new version of iTunes available (6.0), so I installed it over the previous version I had on my computer. Then I selected a bunch of songs and placed them in my shopping cart. Smooth sailing. The problem came when I connected my iPod with the intention of purchasing the songs and putting them on my iPod. iTunes did not seem to recognize that my iPod was plugged in. I got a pop-up with the message quoted above. I'm not sure what to do next. Whatever I have tried has not worked. I reinstalled iTunes several times, to no avail. I'm afraid to do too much trial and error, because I have heard the horror stories of people doing the wrong thing and losing their songs.

Hi David and welcome to Apple Discussions.
XP's Fast User Switching feature can give you this error, as it doesn't play well with iTunes. If you're using it, try disabling it and see if the message reoccurs. Go to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts then 'Change the way users log on and off' and remove the checkmark from Fast User Switching.
Fast User Switching in Windows XP is not supported
If you're not using Fast User Switching, try uninstalling iTunes, following the below instructions, then reinstall.

I just bought iWorks Serial Number Key over the internet. When I use the key, iWorks tells me the key is invalid!! Please help. (I bought this iWorks from someone in Singapore. I am using it in Malaysia)

I just bought iWorks Serial Number Key over the internet. When I use the key, iWorks keep telling me the key is invalid!! Please help. (I bought this iWorks from someone in Singapore. I am using it in Malaysia.). Thanks

Downloaded the Trial version. It still says the serial number key is invalid. On the iWork page where I am suppose to enter the serial number key, the "Go Back" button is always BOLD, but the "Continue" button remains GREY all the time. The "Continue" button remains grey even after I have completed the key entry. I have to type the "Return" key on my keyboard to force enter the key. The message I get is still "Invalid key".
I have called Apple. The first person helped by asking me to delete certain items in some Folders and it still did not work. I was then connected to a senior person, but I heard over the recording that there were 15 persons waiting on the line. I had to end the call because the wait will take too long.

Please help me to stop error message.

Hi Gammer576775!
Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPod touch:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2771
Will not power on, or will not turn on unless connected to power
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Connect the iPod touch to an Apple USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if the display turns on and…
The home screen appears, the device should be working. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen: . Then disconnect the device from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears even after the iPod touch has charged for at least 20 minutes: See the "iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or low-battery image appears , continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPod touch did not turn on, reset it while connected to an Apple USB power adapter. If the display turns on, go to step 4.If the display remains black, go to the next step.
Restore the device. Connect it to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes it and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPod touch. If the device doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring it, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPod touch resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring it did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

As far as trying to power up your device, make sure it has a good charge and then hold the button on the top of the phone and the home button on the faceplate together until the apple appears on the screen.
