I found out about this from Bios ... Sync your iPod with Windows Media Player and you'll never use iTunes again.

Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit

Mine Is Doing This Aswell!
I Really Do Prefer Itunes Over Windows Media!
I've Tried Un Installing Re In Stalling All That Jazz
But It Just Keeps On Coming Up, It's Really Fustrating I Can't Update My Ipod!!
Somebody Please Help Me!?

Just uninstall apple mobile support in program's and features worked for me (vista hp sp1)

I need help with this also...I have uninstalled and installed so many times it is iritating me...I dont see anything listed like this in the Programs...Any additional help would be appreciated...

For the last two unregistered posters, here is a workround.

1) Leave the phone in restore mode and close iTunes.
2) Open up the device manager.
3) Scroll down to USB (Universal Serial Bus controllers..) and open that group.
4) Look for your iPhone. It should be the first device listed and will be called something like apple, restore, iphone or something that you'll recognize as the phone. 5) Right click it and choose update driver.
6) Tell the updater not to search for it, click next.
7) On next page choose install from a specific location. Click next.
8) In the 'Please choose your search and installation options' window,
choose 'Don't search. I will choose the driver to install' and click next
9) In the next window choose Have Disk and browse to the Mobile Device Support's driver folder.
10) Choose the restore driver it shows and finish up the driver updating.
If iTunes doesn't show your phone in restore mode next time you open iTunes then restart the Apple Mobile Device service and reopen iTunes.

I dont have the iphone or the newer ipod touch..i have the older ipod....now what?
