  Hi Cherryl,
  There is an Ipod restore utility that is available. I have it if you would 
like it. It should restore your Ipod to its factory settings. Write me off list.
  Sylvia.

    Hello everyone.

    I am a new person on this list.   My Name is Cherryl, and I am from BC. 
Canada.

    Now on to my questions.

    I have an Apple mini Ipod which was purchased from someone.  This mini ipod 
is not recognized by windows.  What happens,
    When I plug it in to the USB, I get a message saying "this ipod needs to be 
reformatted would you like to open Itunes so your ipod can be restored?"  Of 
course, I hit the ok button, and when itunes opens, it tells me "this ipod 
appears to be corrupt, please restore it so it can work correctly".  When I 
finally find the right restore, it then lets me know that it can not download 
the right software as the source "ipod" is not found.

    I have been searching on the net for any "fix or recovery" tools, and 
haven't had too much luck.

    What seems very odd to me is that once in a while, I will see the ipod in 
itunes.

    I can tell you, it does show up as an F drive in explorer.  When I go to 
the add new hardware, it is listed as an apple ipod.

    I am very frustrated and puzzled.

    Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas.... would sure be appreciated.

    I should let you all know, I am a blind individual and I live on my own, 
which means no sighted help.

    Thank you all in advance.

    Cherryl
