    it's best to plug the iPod in first, wait for the iPod screen to say do not disconnect and then open up iTunes.

    and you probably already know that to disconnect the iPod click on the eject button in iTunes

    You want it to detect faster? do you have a slow/old computer? If you are using USB 1.1 for instance, it will take time to detect..

    Well. I need more information.

    Is the Ipod new? Did you install the software? What kind of usb port do you have?

    I just happened to buy a 60gb Ipod the other day and had some similar problems. So you can pm me, or just post it on here.

    Next time you post though, try and tell us a little bit more about your problems.

    Go to like Target and get a USB 2.0 PCI card for like $30 it will help you so much! (You need a open PCI slot)
