I just bought a second hand 80gb ipod 5g and as you might have noticed by my previous threads I've been having a few problems with it. Now it keeps disconnecting while loading music on to it from pc and I get an error message saying usb device not recognized (or something similar). It seems to work for a while then the computer suddenly stops recognizing it and the ipod "g" drive vanished from "my computer".

What could be causing this and how can I sort it? I've tried two different usb cables aswell as different usb ports which seem to recognize other devices without any problems.

Thanks

Maybe the iPod is just bad. Second hand electronics have a fair chance of being in less than prime condition.

Could you possibly give me a more vague answer?

i.e. a hardware problem.  Does it happen in the Apple firmware, too?

yes. although files transfer alot faster. any idea what specific part of the hardware could be causing the problem?
