iPod nano on XP

[sedawk]

I installed ipod+itune on another XP machine. It appeared that the ipod was not recognized by XP. I see "Don not disconnect" forever on the display. The iPod Updater also can't see the ipod either and hang. iTune also can't do ipod update. But I check ipod service is running.

Anyone had this experience?

Any of these help?

Thanks Linney. But I don't see iPod icon in iTune. So these two links are not really applicable.

Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the software? Did you install it as an Administrator?

Are there any clues in your Event Viewer?

Have a look around here and see if you can locate any forum that specializes in Ipod things.

It turned out it is an iPod itself issue, not XP. iPod normal mode is not recognized by iTune even on Mac. After knowing this, I solved it.

Thanks anyway.
