try loading up iTunes first, then plug in your iPod.  it should look as though it has frozen for a minute or two, but leave it and it should show your iPod on the quick-find menu on the left hand side of the screen.  Failing that make sure you download the lastest version of iTunes, updated software, and if tht doesn't work then go to the apple website.

try downloading it from apple.com.  The software that comes with the IPOD becomes out of date frequently.

The iPod might be bad... or the USB port is faulty. The computer doesn't need any software to "see" the iPod when it is connected as the iPod is usually seen as an external harddrive. So the problem is most likely hardware related. Faulty cable, iPod or USB port.

Don't wait forever. It may be stuck, so restart it and try again. It can restore well when it works - so don't worry about what your teacher told you!

This is what it says on the apple website.\n\nMake sure your computer meets the system requirements for your model iPod. Connecting your iPod to a PC that has older iPod software on it can cause this symptom. \nMacintosh users who do not have Mac OS X 10.3.4 or later can use the iPod Dock Connector to FireWire cable to connect to a FireWire compatible iPod to a FireWire-equipped Mac. With Mac OS X 10.3.4 or later, you can use the iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 Cable to connect a supported iPod to a high-powered USB 2.0 port. \nPut your iPod into disk mode and connect it to your computer. \nIf you can see iPod on the desktop, in My Computer, or in iTunes, you're ready to restore it. You should attempt to restore the iPod even if it won't go into disk mode. \nWarning: Restoring iPod erases and reformats the hard disk. All music and other data on iPod will be erased. Make a backup of any files or music on iPod before restoring it.\n\nIf you can't put your iPod into disk mode, reset it, then read the related documents to see if they might solve your issue. If not, consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod or visit your local Apple Retail Store

When you use that Hold switch, it keeps the buttons on your ipod from accidentally being pressed when you're not using the iPod.

Make sure that you have loaded the software that came with the IPod, then restart the computer.  \n\nIf it still doesn't recognize the IPod use the "Help" feature located in ITunes.

If you didn't drop the stylus...\nFirst reinstall the driver...and try it again.\nAny electronics shop can help you find it... or you can get in touch with http://support.gateway.com/support/customer_care.asp

For Early iPods(The iPod, iPod with Scroll Wheel and iPod with Touch Wheel):\n\nTurn the Hold switch on, then turn it off again.\n\nHold down the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple appears, "around 6 to 10 seconds" according to Apple.\n\nFor Later iPods (The iPod with Click Wheel, iPod photo, and iPod mini):\n\nTurn the Hold switch on, then turn it off again.\n\nHold down the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple appears, again, roughly 6 to 10 seconds.

Call sony and tell them your problem.  They might fix it for you for free.  The disadvantage is, you can't get to use it for several days because you are going to send it to them to fix it.

go to apple.com and download the newest iPod update

I don't know, sorry. If you don't get a "fix" from somebody here, try looking for one here.\n\nhttp://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1

on my ipod video, if you hold down the menu button and middle button it restarts it and then everything works perfect again, maybe you should try that.
