I have a desktop upstairs that holds all of my songs for my iPod. Recently when I connect my iPod, the computer doesn't recognize anything. I decided to hook my iPod into another computer, and it recognizes it just fine! Is there something I can do to my desktop USB ports so it will recognize my iPod?
Thanks!

have you tried different USB ports? that is what usually happens when my computer doesn't recongize my iPod, i hook it to a different USB port. but the question is, is it just iTunes that isn't recongizing your iPod or your computer as a whole? if it is your computer as a whole, my answer should help you out. if it is just your iTunes, i would suggest one of the answers above.

An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes account at a time. once you switched to a new iTunes account or a new computer. You have to authorize your iPod to it at first, then you can upload music and video from the new iTunes to your iPod. But this way will overwrite the original files on iPod with the new iTunes. You may try this iPod transfer, it can help you copy files from iPod to computer for backup, you can also use it as an iTunes alternative to upload music and video. It will not erase your original iPod files. It's safe and works pretty well for me.
