im using a 15 gig 3rd gen with windows xp, an audigy ( yeah i know !! ) powered firewire card and ephpod to do my transfers. however, after a couple of weeks of ipod heaven, i started getting problems:
note though: the ipod itself works fine. no problems in playback at all, everything there is perfectly fine.
- after connecting it to the pc, about a minute or so later, it would automatically disconnect itself - the do not disconnect sign would be replaced by the ipod menu, and the little green device removal icon on the taskbar would disappear. i used another cable and my non powered firewire port - all to the same end. hence, i couldnt use ephpod to transfer any tracks, and couldnt restore factory settings using ipod manager as it would give me a "cant mount ipod" message.
heres what ive been told to do, and done so far:
-turned off norton antivirus ( apple support's opinion)
-changed power settings for windows hard disks
-reset the little bugger a coupla hundred times.
-used another i-changed the portpod on my computer, which works fine.
-changed the cable
any ideas ?
