It will work fine if you drop the files you want to load onto the shuffle, then open device manager and scan for hardware changes.

We need to pester Apple about fixing this. It should be a relatively simple fix.

I bought an ipod touch 32gb yesterday and have been really disappointed. Followed the limited instructions you get with the thing, I suppose they assume everyone knows how to use one but of course one should never make assumptions. Downloaded and installed itunes, signed up, mobileMe, etc. allowed it to automatically search for media files on my hard disk, big mistake but that's not the problem. The messages started 'The iPod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to' and 'iTunes could not back up the iPod because the backup session failed' really informative!!! Their so called support site is no help. Have restored the ipod, uninstalled itunes and reinstalled god knows how many times, you name it, turned off anti-virus, services in the background all to no avail, so me thinks the £300.00 excuse from a nicely designed brick will be going back to the shop tomorrow and I will go back to using my £12.00 reliable mp3 player.

Read the Apple Troubleshooting article available at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304996. Try every solution, even the one saying Try deleting or removing any third-party Windows OS skins, Windows themes, or desktop mods that are installed(...). Yes, you should uninstall VistaMizer.

1st solution:

Read the Apple Troubleshooting article available at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304996. Try every solution, even the one saying Try deleting or removing any third-party Windows OS skins , Windows themes or desktop mods that are installed(...).yes, you should uninstall VistaMizer.
I have uninstalled Vista inspirate themes and skin...rebooted my computer(it automatically will ask u)...and suddenly found that ITUNES was able to sync with my IPOD...

2nd solution:

And finally, the solution which really worked well. Disconnect your iPod, close iTunes. Remove the iPod from the dock, open My Computer and leave the window on a visible spot. Place the iPod on the dock. Check if any new removable drives appear. If it does, keep reading. If not, then I'm afraid I can't help you. Now that we can see the iPod drive, open iTunes. POINT OF RESTART Put the new songs you want, as many as you want, or delete the old ones, do something to trigger the automatic syncing by iTunes. The software will try to sync, and it probably will show the same problem as before. Don't panic, everything is fine, don't use CTRL+ALT+DEL, please. Just close the window displaying the odd message when it appears. Leave iTunes open, displaying your iPod content. Go back to the My Computer window. Leave it on a visible spot. Now let's start the magic, go to Start - Control Panel - Add New Hardware. Click on Next. You will see your iPod drive reappearing on the My Computer window. Just return to the iTunes window, click on File, Sync iPod and it's done. After syncing, the iPod drive will disappear from the My Computer window. To sync again, repeat the operation from the point of restart. To eject your iPod, do it as you would do on a normal operation.
