hey i have an ipod shuffle and my computer does not recognize it. i have had it for about 6 months with no problems but recently it has just packed up and died. i can listen to songs fine on it but it doesnt charge when its plugged in and itunes doesent detect an ipod. i tried to reset it but my computer does not detect it. i re-installed from the ipod cd it came with but it doesnt detect the ipod. i tied plugging it into my friends comps but there comps dont regognise it. it doesnt even COME up as a DRIVE any more.

PS: my comps specs are WELL above the minimum requirements, if that helpsWouldn't www.apple.com be a better place to go for this? It used to work, now it doesn't and it's 6 months old. Do you not have a warranty?   Before you ASSUM e it is your IPOD, you might try ANOTHER cable that games from IPOD to computer.. Maybe the cable just went dead...

Sometimes the virtual drives are what prevent the system from recognising the iPod - Nero is a bit of a mare for this.
