    My laptop has stopped recognising my ipod as an external drive. It is recognised in ITunes but not on My Computer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but its still not working.
    Any ideas?

    go into the device manager and delete all references to the iPod. Then try plugging it in again.

    I tried that but its still not working. The laptop only seems to recognise the ipod as a camera for some reason and i cant see anything on it through my computer.
    What next?

    This is really doing my head in now.
    The laptop will either recognise the ipod as a camera but will not see any of the music that is stored on it and it will not be recognised by itunes or else it will be recognised by itunes but not by my computer. When it is recognised by itunes, I still cannot view what is on the ipod but I can play tunes from it.
    I have tried uninstalling itunes and deleting references to ipods, is there anything else I can do.
    Its my wifes ipod and she's starting to get thick with me for wrecking it on her. Need some help, please.

    *shrug*

    try deleting both at the same time. then install itunes before reseating the ipod.

    other than that you might get more informed help at an apple website.

    If u can get it recognised by itunes,
    Select your iPod and then click the Settings tab. Scroll down to the Options section. Then place a check in the Enable disk use box (if it isn’t checked already). Click Apply.
