Vista won't recognise iPod (any more)
Hello!
A few days ago I connected my ipod to my computer, and ... nothing (except that the ipod was being charged). No bl00dy iTunes launched, and under Explorer no new device was shown. Disconnected, rebooted, even changed cables a few times - all to no avail.
Any thoughts
(besides throwing away the ipod or Vista 
) ?

sometimes hard resetting the ipod helps.
depending on model hold down on off/switch and play/home button together until screen goes off. then plug ipod into mains and switch it on.
this should clear any bugs from ipod.
as to vista, God knows.
hope this helps

I've not experienced any iPod/Vista problems yet and that's with both a 2nd generation Nano and a 3rd(?) generation Classic.
Wifey had a problem with a Touch on XP, but we uninstalled iTunes and then reloaded it, works a treat now.

7777 - I had similar with a PDA.
My computer case has four USB's on the front panel. Every time I plugged it in to a different one from last time, it reloaded the drivers - and eventually they all got confused.
Neatest way out was to delete all references and drivers to the PDA from "System" etc - plug it into one USB and just use that one. Not had a problem since.
