Ugh, wait. That 'taking the cord off' method seemed to work fine the first 10 seconds, but again it failed to recognize my iPod.... the computer recognizes it, but not the programs installed inside the iPod, but only as 'device'. I named my iPod 'Awesome (my name)' and that no longer seems to appear, instead this 'disk' thing appears. And the files in it(notes, songs, everything) doesn't show. Also iTunes doesn't pop up automatically...it doesn't even recognize the iPod. Anyway my question is: should that 'complete cord-off' status remain for 30 mins? Some peeps above said you must let it sit for at least 30 mins but another guy said for a few sec. Which is correct? I honestly don't see there will be any difference between 30 mins or a few sec, but would 30 mins worth a try? I only plugged it off for about 10 seconds and then rebooted the comp, but it doesn't seem to work as I said. I've tried literally EVERYTHING while googling, and, of course things on this thread as well. I even made that stupid 'key' thing which broght me no luck at all. So... reply is very well anticipated. I'm DESPERATE! I've spent a full week looking for the cure........and this is my last hope. And...I hope my iPod isn't corrupt or something
