It sounds like the device drivers are missing. You need to install the software that came on CD with the player so the computer can recognize it.

You should be able to go to apple.com and download the drivers. I think it's under the "Support" tab.

Do you use the USB oder FireWire cable to connect the iPod to your PC? For some reasons, up and downloading music or data doesn't work with FireWire on my desktop PC.

Do you use winblows or mac? If you use windows, click Start --> Run, then type in "msconfig" (without quotes). You'll see a tab called "Services", click it. On the bottom, there is a checkbox, just above the buttons, labeled "Hide all Microsoft Services", check it, it will make it easier to find the service you are looking for. Now look for a service named "iPodService" by some company named "Apple Computer, Inc." (who are they?
) If this service is not there, you will not be able to sync files with your iPod.
