Hello fellow podites...
I have a rather bigish problem with my ipod connection. 1st the specs so you can get your background.
4G - Black and White - 40gb - iPod 2005/26/06 Update - iTunes 4.9.0.17
Dell Dimension 8250 - 3.06ghz - WD 120GB - 512mb RAM - XP - USB 2.0 and USB
Right.....
I hook my ipod with its docking station to the USB 2 ports on the Dell and it doesnt see the ipod. It knows hardware is added as it makes a sound, quickly followed by the disconnect sound. This keeps going until I get fed up and remove it. However the iPod keeps flicking from Do Not Disconnect to Ok to Disconnect and the Main Menu.
Another strange point is that on the same computer, when I put the iPod on the normal USB port it works fine - just very slow.
Anyone have any ideas on whats going on?? Ive checked the drivers etc and they are all fine! Could it be a motherboard problem?
I have used this iPod with USB 2 on my laptop and it worked fine but not with this desktop?!
Please could someone point me in the right direction as I have tried most paths to fix this problem without any luck! Its been driving me nuts!
Thank-you!
