Depends on which IPOD and Which port aka USB??? or Firewire/1394?????

You should download and install ITUNES first.

This of course assumes WIN2000 or XP. WIN9X is not supported with the IPOD.

I am connecting with a USB lead at the front of the machine, have tried various combinations of installing/uninstalling software in different ways but no luck so far.

We are attempting to connect an Ipod 20GB with Itunes Software release 6 (25-10-2005).

Did you install the software that came with your ipod?

Yes plus software supplied by Apple local store, no good though

You didnt say what model. The IPOD REQUIRES USB 2.0

USB 2.0 is being used

I can assume you are doing something wrong or don't have a dell or some other issue.

You didnt say what OS, What service packs, what model number, what serial number/service tag.

Which ports? front or back, You didnt try a POWERED USB 2.0 Hub.

This is like pulling teeth.

Im sticking a fork in you we are done.

This is an Apple support issue not a dell hardware problem.

I was wondering if you ever found a solution to your Ipod problem.  I just bought one for my daughter and I am having the same trouble. 

 

Thanks

Hi there in the end I had to take my Computer in to be re-configured, somehow some of the windows drivers needed to run Apple Itunes had been deleted. So I had to re-install Windows XP which fixed the problem. 

So did you reinstall it yourself or did you have to have someone do it for you?  I have the windows xp installing disc. 

I must admit I had some one do it for me !!
