itunes is ignoring ipod and windows doesn't recongise it, am desperate.
i don't usually connect my ipod to a computer because i don't have regular access to one so my ipod has been displaying the ipod sad sign and has been saying "connect ipod to itunes to restore" for a few weeks.
but when i did connect my ipod nothing was happening so i went through all the help and support pages. baisically, the ipod doesn't restore because of error 1418. i've already read and tried the related articles on the apple support pages but nothing is helping. i've also tried everything window's support suggests but that's not helping either.
so if anyone has any idea what could be wrong or has had the same problem, please contact me i will be eternally greatful!
ps: the fact that the whole thing might just be broken has occured to me but i've had an ipod break on me before and it was just dead and didn't display all sort of "fix me" warnings...
