I have a Ipod Video 5th generation. I have had no problems synching the ipod, until I received a message from MC tonight that I need to update the Ipod's software due to a recent update to MC12. I run MC12 on my Dell PC, using Windows XP.
I synched the ipod to my Mac to update the Ipod software, because I don't like running Itunes on my PC. The Mac required that I restore the Ipod first and then update the Ipod software. I did that, and the Ipod now is running version 1.2.3, which it says is the latest Ipod software.
I then updated the software for MC12, and am now running MC 12.0.441.
When I hooked up the Ipod to my PC/MC12, MC12 can't see the Ipod. I tried redetecting all devices, no success. I even tried adding the device manually--when clicking on browse in the dialogue box, the Ipod shows up as a "removable disk" on drive I, but even if I try to add it MC says it can't be done.
Did I do something wrong by restoring the Ipod using the Mac version of Itunes? Do I need to download Itunes on the PC and restore the Ipod using the Windows version of Itunes? I searched the forum here and the Wiki, but didn't see anything.
Thanks for any help,
John
