new monochrome iPod
2) My iTunes, and 3,000 songs are on my laptop (home) computer.
3) When I hookup my iPod to my laptop, it is recognized ("new hardware" message)... but ONLY the "RESTORE" button (not the UPDATE) is click-able. I've restored the iPod about 5x (and plugged it into the wall as instructed) but it still won't let me to click the UPDATE button.
4) When I check iTunes, in options, it says "no iPod is connected".
5) I have had about 4 different iPods (they keep breaking, Apple keeps giving me refurbished ones) and have never had a problem hooking them up to my laptop or iTunes.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??
