Most of the times if your computer USB drivers are not updated, you can end up with many issues with your iPod. So keep your USB drivers updated by following the steps below.

1. Plug your iPod to the computer.
2. Quit iTunes if it is open.
3. Click on the Start menu(bottom left hand corner of your computer), click Control Panel.
4. In the Control Panel, click on Administrative Tools. Note: If you don't see Administrative Tools that means you are on category view , look at the left column in Control Panel for a link that says, "Switch to Classic View," and click it.
5. Once you are in Administrative tools page,double click the Computer Management shortcut.
6. There in the left column you see Device Manager option, click on Device Manager.
7. In the right column, click the plus (+) icon next to Universal Serial Bus controllers to expand this selection.


8. In the drop-down list look for anything related to iPod or Apple, you might see something like "iPod" or "Apple Mobile Device". You may also see yellow colored exclamation mark next to it, which means it needs to be updated.

9. Right-click on the "iPod" or "Apple Mobile Device" in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu.
10.A Hardware Update Wizard will pop-up, select "Yes, this time only" to allow Windows to connect to the Windows Update Website. Click Next.

11.Select "Install the software automatically (Recommended)" and click Next. Windows searches for updated drivers and installs any it finds

Note: During installation, if a message appears stating that the software you are installing "has not passed Windows Logo testing" click Continue Anyway to continue installing the drivers.

If there is any kind of trouble you face during these steps, please let me know through comments so that I can research over that and provide help on it. Thank You
