    If you have " Vista " you could need a service pack from M/soft that they put out to overcome this fault when on their site try a search for USB upgrade

    no offence but you obviously dont know that much about computers if you dont know what a USB is but the usb is the part of the cable which is long , thin and to indents on either side... plug this into the appropiate slot into the back of the computer & the other end of the cable plug into the bottom of the ipod then open itunes again hope i helped

    Might be your usb port is less than 2.0 that is why it's not transfering. i had same problem then i used my new computer and then it works. you can probably update right click my computer>properties>hardware>device manager>universal serial bus controller>usb composite device after that right click and update see any thing chage.
