iPod ejects itself

My iPod ejects itself after i plug it in, it does't even get recognized by iTunes. I tried resetting it, i used different cables, i removed and reinstalled iTunes and I still have the same problem. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Just started having the same problem win win7 64-bit. Also tried most of the same solns as you - resetting, removing/reinstalling - I don't have another cable handy, so didn't do that.

My camera transferred successfully, so I know that my USB is working....

Hope to see some soln to this soon - it's really annoying...

Edit: I think I'm using itunes 10.1.1 - it was whatever downloaded when I went to the "download itunes" area...

I may have fixed it - if nothing else, I got a good sync in.

I removed the apple usb driver, as described in this reply to a similar question:

Then, "my computer" would see the drive, but itunes didn't recognize it, so I restarted the ipod service as described here:

(under "restart the ipod service")

Then itunes recognized the ipod and did a sync.

fingers crossed that it will sync the next time I need to...

Yes! Thank you skydvr69 - I've worked for 2 days on this problem with my 6th generation ipod,and by removing and reinstalling the apple usb driver, I was able to sync. I didn't need to restart the ipod service as it worked after the first step. Thank you!!!
