Ipod problems

blue_haddock

I've just got myself an ipod nano and installed itunes on my PC. Somehow during this the Nano has decided to call itself the D Drive and my DVD burner/CD Rom drive has disappeared.

Any idea's on how to resolve this issue? I can't upload anything to my pod until i can sort this out

woo

you need to go into administrative tools, through control panel, and open the computer management application.

in this application chose disk management.
you should now see your nano displayed, select and right click this and you can chage your drive letter.

you may need to reboot.

try that and tell us how you get on.

Right i've managed to change the ipod to E: drive but how do i get my cd player back?

woo

have you rebooted to see if it re-appears?

blue_haddock

Yes i have rebooted.

Just looked on the computer management thing and i get this up


Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41).

woo

have you opened the pc up at all or have you moved it and possibly dislodged some cables inside?

use system restore to go back to before you installed i-tunes and start again

Good old system restore!

Am going to try re-installing and see what happens.

right this bloody pc is going out of the window in a minute :frust:

After having done a system restore i changed the CD Rom drive to E: drive then re-installed itunes and the ipod software and yet again my CD Rom drive has disappeared.

Help!

is this the software on the disk in the box or the new Itunes 7 from the web site ??

I had a similar thing with Intervideo software where if I tune in the TV channels it shuts down the sound on everything else....never got that sorted

It's the software that came on the CD Rom in the box - do you think installing I-Tunes off the website would be better?
