Question for I Pod users and/or computer Geeks !!!

[DeputyDan]

I purchased an Ipod nano for the wife for her birthday.

My computer UBS port will not recognize the Ipod unit. The diganostics say that the drivers for the ipod can not be found?

I and having trouble locating and downloading the needed drivers.

Thoughts????

Didn't the unit come with software? Did you install the software prior to hooking the iPod up to the computer's USB port?

You should have gotten a disc with it - if you didn't, go to the apple website and download the latest iTunes software.

Is the USB port on the computer a USB class I or a USB class II? If the port is a class I, you could have serious communications problems with the data through-put rate...which might cause similar problems.

I may not be geeky enough to know for sure, but I had a similar problem with a wireless router in my home network and it took weeks to determine the problem. Good luck, hope this helps.

the USBI/II thing should be an issue. I have a laptop with USB I and desktop with USB II - works both ways.

I loaded the s/w on the CD that came with the unit.

My hardware manager shows everything installed but the drivers. Error Code 28.

What version of Window$ are you running? If you are running XP then you need atleast service pack 1....

I have XP - will check on the service pack tonight. Thanks.

If you have Itunes manage your library automatically it will sync your ipod to what ever is in the playlists/library is on that PC. I disable that feature on my PC since both the wife and I have ipods, and two different tastes in music. Last thing I need is a some "girl rock" on my pod
