if still not working try going to device manager and unistalling the driver with the ipod on full battery then scan for hardware devices.

When i try to use the 2nd link it says not matched with your system when it is.

you do have vista right?

try use main page then scrolling down to it and downloading that way.

Tried what you suggested but to no avail :(

Also I do have vista service pack 1.

Anyone have any ideas ?

very simple. unplug all usb device on your cpu. shut down your computer, unplug all power plug from wall socket or pocket socket. and wait for 30mins, after that connect all back and on your computer. thats all.

Didn't work mate. any ideas ?

did you try to enable disk support on the shuffle?

[vtorres]

I cannot do that as the ipod is not recognized by itunes or my computer.

Have you tried in another computer ? It could be Vista!

Try stepping back a day or 2 in restore.

Check in system (control panel) and see in anything flags up that you can update the driver on.

turn off pc from mains pull out ipod and usb from pc leave 5-10 mins then plug back in see if that works.

Don't worry mate it was the usb it was not compatible with vista.

Try going to The "Add Hardware" wizard in the control panel. And it searches automatically. Hope this has been helpful.:smokin:
