grift3r74 Posted September 30, 2007 CID Share Posted September 30, 2007 Greetings!! I was away from home for a month vacation and was charging my ipod video on my relative's home pc for that period of time. All was working well.. (His pc doesnt have Itunes so I use it only for charging purposes) When i returned home, I plugged the ipod to my own pc to update and charge it. The ipod would charge but not show up in MyComputer as a removable device and it wouldnt update.. Now, I can't add music, videos, etc anymore.. Is there a setting at Itunes for that? Any ideas? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted September 30, 2007 CID Share Posted September 30, 2007 have you tried pluging it into another computer to see if it shows up as a removable disk there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grift3r74 Posted October 1, 2007 Author CID Share Posted October 1, 2007 Yes sir, its the same.. I think its the autorun.inf file in the ipod they messed up since they mentioned it has a virus or something. If thats the case, how do i restore it?

dlewis23 Posted October 1, 2007 CID Share Posted October 1, 2007 you need to get a program from apple called iPod Updater Find the newest once that works with your iPod and that will restore it to the factory settings. Or you could take it to an apple store and they could do it if you have one around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grift3r74 Posted October 1, 2007 Author CID Share Posted October 1, 2007 Ok thanks I'll try it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grift3r74 Posted October 1, 2007 Author CID Share Posted October 1, 2007 It now works but after it syncs songs, etc with itunes, it will disconnect.. so basically I have to remove and reconnect the Ipod for me to update.. It will also show as a removable disk while syncing but after that, it will disappear. I cannot update the Ipod using the file menu in Itunes.. But it still charges the battery..
