Ok, here's the deal.... I have a 4gig iPod nano, that's worked relatively fine up until now. The problem is, iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod as being there, and even my computer itself doesn't recognize it, so it won't show up under My Computer so I can explore into the drive and try to fix the problem. It just gives me a message about the device in the USB port not being recognized. I'm pretty sure I know what's wrong, a file got put onto the iPod that shouldn't be there, and I need to get it off, but I can't do that without being able to go into the files to delete it off. Since iTunes doesn't recognize it, I can't simply use the restore function either.
The iPod itself works fine, it still plays music and everything, it's just nothing can detect it, so I can't update it to put new songs on it or anything. Does anyone know how I can either restore the iPod without needing iTunes to recognize it, or a way that I can get into the files on the iPod so I can delete what I need to?
