iPod's can be a little tricky. Here are a couple things to try:

- You should probably be using an onboard USB port, rather than a USB hub, if you have one.

- If you have a USB printer, USB keyboard and/or mouse or ANY OTHER USB devices, try removing them one by one to see if one of them is the problem.

- If you're using a Windows computer, the navigational steps may be slightly different, but you might try assigning a different drive letter to the iPod. For Windows 7, you would:

: Go to Start
: Right click Computer
: Choose Manage
: Highlight Disk Management
: Find your iPod in the list and right click on it
: Select "Change Drive Letter and Path"
: Click change and select some other higher drive letter, perhaps I for iPod


I hope that helps!
