FYI, for a while now I had iTunes pretending the iPod is not connected.
This occurred with an iPod (dock connector) connected via FireWire, and
both with iTunes version 5 and 6, running on windows xp.

The symptoms are:
* iPod displays the do-not-disconnect message
* windows displays the disconnect-icon in the notification area
* in the device manager the iPod is listed as a Disk
* iTunes does not display the iPod, and under "Preferences" pretends
the iPod is not connected
* an old iPod updater (for version 2.1) correctly communicated with the
iPod, allowing me to Restore the iPod [which I did not do, as I wanted
to keep my music].
* the new iPod updated, 2006-01-10, correctly detected that my iPod was
running version 2.1, it suggested to Update to revision 2.3; I accepted
but then the updater software failed to identify the iPod .. instead it
found a network shared disk!!

After disconnecting all network shared disks the iPod was again
recognized by iTunes, and everthing was working again. I did not
further investigate if this is a windows or iTunes issue.

I think you are asking in the wrong group. Your version of iTunes is not
a Mac app. Windows expertise is fairly patchy around here!

This newsgroup's topic is applications that run on the Mac. You would
probably be better off posting your question in a Windows XP forum.

Well, good luck with that idea. Sounds to me like his mapped drive went
away so the app couldn't find it. Nothing unique to Windows there. I
mean, yeah, it's not a Mac problem but, PC people tend to know
absolutely nothing about Macs, while Mac people usually have at least
some knowledge of Windows.
