"An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly" error
We have had five iPod Nano's installed via our home computer (Dell PC - Windows Vista):
one 2nd generation (currently being used)
one 3rd generation (not in use - was lost)
one 4th generation (not in use - was stolen)
two 5th generations (currently being used)
The iTunes 10.0.1 Update was installed during the first of the two 5th geneartions installation process.
We recently bought another 5th generation. When we went to install it, we received the error message "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly". The 2nd generation can access the entire library and download music but the two 5th generations are no longer able to access the library and download music. Basically, they can only be used to listen to the current music within does 5th generation iPod Nano's.
We tried everything that's been recommended in the Support section but nothing has worked in order to restore the capability of accessing the library and downloading music for the 2 generations....This is where we need HELP!!!
As for the new 5th generation, we have installed it into our laptop instead with no problems (so far). We've read that there is a way to move the iTunes Library from one computer to another which we hope this will be an option once we fix the issue of the two 5th generations.
If anyone can provide any recommendations please post. We have spent the better part of our weekend trying to fix this problem with alot of frustration along the way.
Thank youUninstall everything from your pc that is published by Apple. This includes; iTunes, Quicktime, and Bonjour. I also had this problem and it is VERY frustrating. Then re-install iTunes of course.

Have you carefully worked through all the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

Did this iPod previously work with this iTunes installation/library?

Downloaded Firefox but when trying to open I get: foxfire.exe Application error Instruction 0x9a92819c referenced memory at 0x9a92819c memory could not be written
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Try running Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] to disable all add-ons. It's possible that some is causing troubles. You can enable them one at a time to find the culprit.
If that doesn't work, have you tried reinstalling Firefox? -
It won't let me open firefox so i cant go online. the rest of the computer is working fine. at the top of the box it says XULRunner
The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.<br />
Do a clean reinstall.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

whenever i connect my ipod nano to my computer, itunes gives me a pop-up that says, "an ipod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect then reconnect the ipod, then try again." when i do that, i get the same pop-up. beneath the pop-up stated before it also says "If the problem persists, uninstall Itunes, then install Itunes again." but after doing that, it still will not read my ipod and scan it in.
Does the Apple ID on the iPod match the Apple ID on iTunes?
