iPod ipod not detected

Is it on your Desktop? Does it show in Disk Utility - if so, select it and click Mount. If you don't see it, disconnect it from your computer, hold down Menu and Select to reset the iPod, and then try again...

PC or Mac? As a last attempt you could try restoring it with the iPod Software Updater. You'll lose everything on it though.

Only helps if the OS can see the iPod

Aye. But I've often found the iPod through it when Finder, iTunes, Explorer and even iTunes can't.

Hmm.. that's a screwy system

Actually, it's a screwy iPod which has since been replaced.

iPod Software Updater's pretty good at finding iPods. Plug a Mac-formatted iPod into a PC and it's pretty much the only app that knows what's going on.

I found that my IOGEAR USB 2 PCI card would not mount the new iPods (the nano) unless I used a powered hub in between. I bet this is your problem. My FireWire 3G ipod works just fine in high-speed on the USB 2 without the powered hub. Weird.

ive posted earlier about this problem.. my 3rd Gen 15Gig ipod wont respond to windows.. ever since ive got a new computer and had to reinstall software my ipod wont respond to windows/itunes/updater .. its simply not talking to my pc and nothing is showing up....

maybe the data cable is screwd.. im still yet to ask the guys at the apple shop to give me a test on the cable... its funny tho ive noticed more and more people having the same issue the more i read into the forums..

Might be a little late but this worked for me.
Follow the steps exactly as they've mentioned.

How to fix:
Turn off computer.
Plug ipod into usb.
Then you must reset your ipod... don't worry it won't wipe anything out.
To reset move the hold button ( on top of the ipod) once to hold then back to original position.
Then press and hold the center button and the top menu button at the same time for 6 seconds.
Start computer and it should install the usb driver for the ipod automatically.
Your i pod will say do not unplug so don't. then open itunes and it will be there.
Just remember to not only eject ipod from itunes but stop usb.
Go to the program icons near the clock and right click the usb icon and "safely remove hardware" will appear and click it.
Stop it and select "apple ipod".
