Alan, Yeah, it is super weird that one device works while the other doesn't. Also, yay, someone else who thinks the way I do about xp. It suits my needs, I'll upgrade when my desktop dies. All I use itunes for is putting music on my devices, so because one of my devices works I can see no real reason to upgrade. If neither device synced that'd be different. Thanks for the good luck, I hope I can get this working, ugh.
