Completely uninstall and reinstall the Apple Software as descrbed here:

I need help also,

when I plug in my touch, it says need windows xp service pack 2 to run the ipod. I have been trying to download the second service pack but have been unsucceful, how do you down;oad it?

Okay, here's what I did. I bought mine yesterday and was getting the same screen as the one pictures above. I thought that I just needed to leave it to charge but anyway......... I ended up going to the Best Buy store tonight like 5 minutes before they closed. The dude hooked it up to his computer and it started working instantly and has worked perfectly since. He said all he did was plug it in and the main screen popped up for him.

My main problem is that this is my first ipod. I've downloaded service pack 2 and the itunes. I've purchase one song just to figure out how to get it on my ipod. I can't for the life of me see how to get the purchased music into the ipod. This is probably a simple question that you all know but please help this novice!. Also, is there a number I can call for help anytime?

Today I ran into this exact problem. My Touch had been working since I received it in the initial shipments. Last night I purchased several songs through the Touch and they played just fine. This morning I connected it to my system to sync the songs for backup. Nothing. The iPod was initially recognized but would not sync. Eventually the unit went into the state you described. I was unable to get iTunes on my Windows XP system to recognize it at all. After several fruitless hours trying to find an answer, upgrading to 7.4.3, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc. I ended up hooking it up to an old PowerMac. Viola! It was recognized as being in Restore mode. Once I did that I switched it back to the XP box and it was instantly recognized again. Right now I am pestering iTunes Store support to let me redownload more of the songs I lost than the single one they have done so far.

Hey im having the exact same problem as you and when i go to the contrlo panel on my vista i dont get the same options for the cameras and scanners. i'm stumped! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! 😟

I really hope this helps. I was looking all over trying to solve this same problem for the last couple days until I just came across the answer in an outside forum. It sounds simple but it worked.

Uninstall iTunes.
Uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support.
Restart Windows Vista Ultimate.
Install iTunes.

I've done all of that.
Still nothing.
