Hi, Denise,
This is a long shot but here's one other poster's solution:
Hi
the first link did the trick. itunes now recognises my ipod but as it is restoring i get a error that says "ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (21)"
so it wont restore now! I copyed the error report, here's what it says.

Error 21 could be pointing at a security software problem, keeping iTunes from contacting Apple.
Error 21 and -34: These errors occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue

copied from: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues
Some other user solved error 21 by downloading a new copy of the software. To do this, look for the ipsw file located C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates. Delete the file, to make iTunes download a new one when you start the restore by connecting in recovery mode ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 )
My ipod is now working! Thanks to those who helped, i would have been lost without your help.
For anyone else that has this problem, what worked for me was removing everything samsung, that solved the driver problem. the error 21 was solved by removing the update file in /users/your name/AppData/Roaming/AppleComputer/itunes/Ipod software updates and turning off my firewall.
