My brother sold me a 30gb video ipod,without the disks so i downloaded itunes off of their website, but it was never found on itunes nor my computer, I have even tried to go to device manager but it doesnt come up as ipod or unknown devise Does you battery have to be full in order for you computer to recognise it??Also is it susposed to say "Do not Disconnect" b/c mine does not
When you plug it into the computer, it should say 'Do Not Disconnect'. Try booting it into disk mode by holding the Menu + Center button until the Apple logo appears, then when it appears, hold the Center + Play/Pause button until it says 'Ok to Disconnect'. Then try plugging it into your computer and see if it recognizes it. ;-)
tried it and still nothing.. it also seems to charge for like 5 hours and the battery goes down within like 5 mins.
