IPod not detected as iPod by computer or iTunes, please help

Hello everyone!
When connecting my iPod Nano 2nd Gen via USB to my computer (win XP) it recognizes it as a "mass storage device", and iTunes won't detect it as an iPod.
I went through many of the tutorials on this website, and formatted my iPod, re-installed the USB device and completely removed and then reinstalled iTunes (which is the latest version - 7)
Can you guys please help me on getting my iTunes to recognize my iPod so I can transfer files to it?
Thanks!
Tom
P.S.
It used to be my sister's, and she claims to have been transferring files to the iPod directly (dragging files, not using iTunes) and that it also worked and she was able to listen to music and stuff, until one day where she tried to listen to music and it said "disc empty".
As of now when clicking on music it says "disc empty" (quite obvious though because I formatted)
Can't restore my iPod either since it requires it to be recognized by iTunes first...

Hey
First of all thank you for replying
Following that tutorial I could not find the registry values it wanted me to delete, however I did find it via the "Search" option in Regedit. Is it safe to remove it from there? Or could there be other values with the same names as the ones I was supposed to delete?

Ipod not recognized by Itunes, please help!!

Hi,
When I connect my ipod to my computer the follwing message comes up-
"USB device not recognized- One of the USB devices attatched to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it."
I've tried everything I can think of... downloading the latest software updates and the latest versions of itunes etc but still no progress.
When I attempt to configure the ipod using the software supplied with it or one of the software updates issued on the site the ipod and computer both freeze and nothing happens.
The Ipod is recognized by my computer but there is no sign of it in itunes.
Has anyone got any suggestions!?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks, James

>I should mention that on my second try installing it I was able to upload songs to it, however it seemed that the songs I unchecked made it and the checked ones did not.
Hmmm... it may have to do with the song format?

None of my ipods work with new itunes, please help me!

I have:
• 3rd gen. nano
• 5th gen. video
• 2nd gen. nano
Both nanos used to work on my macbook, I could add/delete music, sync.. every thing worked perfectly! Also, I just barely bought the classic from someone and it worked as well.
-- TWO DAYS AGO... I updated to the 8.2.1 version of iTunes and since then, none of my iPods, or my boyfriend's brand-new touch work on iTunes. I've finally uninstalled, installed, reset enough things that when I plug in these iPods, they at least show up on my desk top, but all iTunes does is open.
It used to open and give me a warning: "an ipod has been detected but it could not be identified properly...please disconnect & reconnect" which did nothing.
My 3G nano works perfectly on my boyfriend's brand-new MacBook, but still nothing on mine.
I've thought and thought and figured that iTunes was the culprit and not my USB ports or cables since I tried other things in the ports and 6 other cables that work fine on other computers.
I've been SEARCHING the internet like crazy, reading millions of forums and 'fixes' but nothing works :'(

The same thing happened to me. When I first connected my iPod to my PowerBookG4 after the latest update, it told me to restore my iPod, so I did. Now it tells me there is not enough room to put my music or podcasts onto the iPod, because it is full. However, there is nothing on it since when I restored it took everything off. When I go to the iPod summery page, it says the iPod if full with "other", but I can't figure out what that is, or how to erase it, so I can install my music and podcasts. I run every day and desperately need my iPod, and every place I could otherwise call is closed until Monday. Can anyone help?!!!!!!!!!

MY IPOD NOT CONNECTING TO ITUNES PLEASE HELP

Okay,, soo my ipod nano 3rd gen, wont connect to my iTunes. it will only come up in a window in my computer. now, i searched help on the apple sight but when it gets the point where it asks me to start the itunes service again, a error code comes up saying it wont allow me to start it. what should i do?

Ok, so I was finally able to fix this issue with my ipod. Here's what I did.
I received the problem on my computer running vista. I decided to hook up my ipod to my friend's macbook. Lo and behold, iTunes recognized it and I received an error saying that the firmware was corrupt. I was able to restore the firmware on my ipod and it worked fine after that. I took it back to my vista computer and it said that my ipod was using mac firmware and if I wanted to delete everything and change to windows firmware and it worked (even though my computer was running 8.1).
Now, I'm not sure if it was osx or maybe the older version of itunes that fixed my issue (my friend was running itunes 8.02 or something), but I suggest if you're having this problem, take it to the apple store and connect with one of their macs and see if you can update the corrupt firmware.
I hope this helps. This issue was really frustrating for me and I hope apple fixes this quickly because I see many people with this problem here.

Ringtone Icon no longer in iTunes please help

I have recently upgraded to the new iTunes and no longer have the Ringtones icon visable in iTunes no more. Any help would be much appricated.
I have already gone to preferences and made sure it slected which it is and its still not coming up?
Thanks in advance.

My tones icon is visible. The way to make it visible is simply to make shure the menu bar is showing (you can show the menu bar by simply clicking onb the black and white square in the top left corner, and click show menu bar). Then click view and go ahead and click show sidebar. Once you show the side bar the Itunes is going to look more similair to the old version. Tones should show up under Music, Movies, Apps, Etc... You will also notice that your devices will show up down there just like in the old version, instead of in the right upper hand corner.

HT1386 i purchased a new phone last week but no able to sinc songs which were not purchased from itune.--please help

I PURCHASED A NEW PHONE LAST WEEK BUT NOT ABLE TO SINC SONGS WHICH WERE NOT PURCHASED FROM I TUNE- HELP

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.
