Video Ipod Not Recognized as 5th Gen.

I had the 20G Ipod, exchanged for the new 30G video ipod. Removed all old ipod software, installed new ipod s/w and new itunes. Still won't let me add a quick time video even tho it shows a video icon in the left panel. Cannot add photos at all, even tho I set up the sync process in options. Any ideas?

Hello, this is my first message and i was wondering if apple will take back my 20gb color iPod in exchange for the new 5th generation? I have had it in the case all its life and it works perfect. Any suggestions. Thanks!!!

Video ipod not recognized by windows at all

My new video ipod suddenly cannot be recognized by Windows. I'm not really sure what happened - one day I was able to plug it in and have iTunes automatically start and sync, and now whenever I plug it in I just get the message "do not disconnect." Also, the iPod is not recognized by Windows - doesn't even show up in "My Computer," though it does show up in "Device Manager" and in the "Safely Remove Hardware" dialogue.
What could be wrong? I already uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime and reinstalled them, to no luck. I also installed the new iPod system software 1.3 but also no luck. Finally, I uninstalled all of my USB ports and forced Windows to reinstall them, but that didn't work either. The first time I put in the iPod after that I got a dialogue box that it had recongized the new hardware and was installing the iPod, but nothing ever came of it.
However, both iTunes and my video iPod are fully functional, and I have taken VERY good card of the video iPod.
Any idea what could be wrong???

I tried it, setting it to E. It didn't work. Tried the same thing after setting it to disk mode and it didn't work. Just the same old BS about "Do not disconnect," but it isn't recongized anywhere on the system except for Device Manager and the Disk Management tool you mentioned. No acknowledgement from iTunes or in My Computer. Meanwhile both iTunes and my iPod work fine, but they can't communicate with each other.
I AM GOING INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have tried every trick in the book that I could possibly think of. Not only did I uninstall and reinstall iTunes, QuickTime and the iPod helper, but after I uninstalled them I COMPLETELY nuked them, eliminating every file and clearing extraneous references out of the registry. Then I reinstalled from the CD going by the instructions by the letter. I thought for sure it would work now but for some ridiculous reason it doesn't.
I am completely at my wits' end.................. What the heck can I do???
PS: I also have Linux installed in a secondary extended partition, which is on my hard drive but not counted as C. Not sure if that makes any difference.

Video iPod not recognized correctly in iTunes

Hi--
I recently bought an 30gig iPod video [5th generation] and tried using it with iTunes.
while iTunes was able to move music onto my iPod, it would not move videos.
using another software, I converted all my videos to mp4, a format which is supposed to work with video iPods.
I went to a friends house and downloaded some of his videos, which worked fine.
but I still cannot get videos onto my iPod through my computer.
my sister, who uses the same computer, runs into the same problem, so this is not a problem with our iPods.
what's going on?
Thanks.

Just to check, are any of the videos labeled as TV Shows?

30G Video iPod not recognized by PC/iTunes

I've just moved to a brand new PC with Vista 64bit.
I installed iTunes64 no problem. When I plug in the iPod it is not recognized by Windows or iTunes. It does not even look like it appears in the Device Manger list under USB Controllers.
Looks like other people are having the same problem but no one can help them. Just adding another voice to the choir.

Nevermind I was able to figure it out elsewhere.
iPode was showing in Device Manager under Other Device. I was able to select and install USB drier and it worked

HELP!!! 30 GB Video Ipod not recognized by 2 computers

I have 2 ipods. I has been unable to connect my 30 gb video Ipod to my laptop for a while. Today I installed a new 8gb ipod and it works just fine, even with the same cable, on my laptop. I tried all the "R" except general reset cause my other computer with i tunes and old songs is dead. Tried to connect my 30GB ipod in disk mode and nothing works, even on a 3erd computer running vista. Either Xp or Vista does not recognize my 30 gb ipod on standard or disk mode... no recognition at all. Just installed the other 8gb ipod today and it just works fine. I read almost all topics and find no answer, HELP!

I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
The Apple store will do this for you, you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

My ipod not recognized by the computer or itunes?

Ok, the iPod works fine playing music and watching videos and everything else it is supposed to, and it charges fine. But when i plug it up my PC to sync new music, the screen on the iPod does like normal and goes to the gray and orangeish screen that says Connected, then immediately says Disconnecting iPod and shows the little progress bar as if you had ejected it. How can it do this on it's own before anything has recognized it?
I have done everything that the Support on here has said, the 5 r's and all that, and nothing. Checked device manager on my computer and it actually says that is is plugged up and recognized, but has a yellow exclamation point beside it. The properties of it says this error...
"Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for "safe removal", but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)"
These errors occurred two days again until now, i have made no recent updates on my computer or iPod to have damaged anything but these problems randomly occur. it's really odd and if someone could help me it would be great.

Hello Jennifer,

Sorry that your iPod isn't recognized. The following articles should help you sort out what is going on and get your iPod working again. I didn't see if you are using OS X or Windows, so I included the articles for each.

Ipod not recognized by itunes, why?

I got a new Ipod and it is not recognized by Itunes. I have reinstalled itunes. I have tried to reset the ipod. It also does not show up on Windows Explorer. I tried changing things in the MSCONFIG file and it still did not work. The USB ports work and I have checked that by plugging in an external HD. Any suggestions?

GeForce4 TI Video Card Not Recognized Anymore?

For about almost a year, the fan on the GeForce4 TI video card would occasionally make a grinding noise, although it has always been easily fixed by lightly sticking a finger on the fan to stop it for a second and it would go back to normal.
However, about a month ago this little fix stopped working. The grinding noise was unbearable. After searching the Internet for a few minutes, I found out that I wasn't the only one suffering from this problem, and some even offered tips on how to replace the fan.
I followed the steps very carefully and made sure the card was not harmed. After installing the new fan, which was very easy, I stuck it back into the Power Mac and boot it up. However the monitor didn't find a signal.
I was glad that I installed Remote Desktop on the Power Mac so I was able to connect to it and see what's going on. I opened Apple System Profiler and noticed that the computer isn't properly recognizing the graphics card anymore! Instead of the very detailed information I'm used to seeing, this is what I saw below:
pci10de,a:
Type: VGA-Compatible Controller
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x252
Revision ID: 0x00a3
I have no clue what this means as it seems like the computer still recognizes A video card. Also this also gave me the impression that the Power Mac is missing the drivers, but that's impossible as I haven't touched the software on the hard drive and nVidia drivers are part of OS X.
If the card is broken then fine, I'll take my losses and buy a new one as I would hate to just throw the computer away since it still more than fulfill my needs. But I just hope the AGP slot isn't broken.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Just for clarification:
You have two systems based on the same MS-7008 mainboard, correct? Both use the same BIOS Version?
In one system, the card is functioning, running in AGP 3.0 Mode x8 and in the other, same mainboard model, what are the symptoms of "video card not recognized" besides the AGP 2.0 Mode x4 limitation?
I mean, if you can see the BIOS Setup, the card is putting something out on the screen, right?
