Itunes not recognizing Ipod/Error 1053
So I got a new 80 GB Ipod a few days ago and everything was working fine until it wouldn't show up in itunes when it was connected. So I tried everything suggested in the support article about this...it still shows up in My Computer. But when I tried stopping the Ipod Service it says it can't stop and comes up with the error 1053. I'm going crazy because I'm going away this weekend on a long trip and will need my IPOD for it...it'd be nice to have all my new music on it. Thanks for any help!
