Fixed it for you. ;)
 
THIS IS SPARTA!!

(sorry, but seemed appropriate)

/me ninja's all those involved in this never ending argument.
/me tells the ninja'ed everyone that this argument will never end.
 
Plugged my iPod into my laptop - running OpenSuSE 10.3. A quick update with Yast later, and I was able to use Amarok with my iPod, and copy/move files to/from my iPod without having to use iTunes.

iEasy as iPie :p :D

You're right - it simply must be Apples fault then.

Have you perused the discussion groups? With tens of millions of installations there is probably someone else with similar problems. http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=150

And all the advise they give is do those things I have already done from the apple trouble shooter lol. I havent even used this iPod since i won it, I just tried to install is to see if it as great and easy to use as you said, seems it isnt. Im glad I didnt spend money on it.

Wish I could help but I've never come across anyone who was unable to install itunes or operate an ipod.

Do you know anyone who has one so you can make sure the actual device isnt defective?
 
Nope, I dont. Windows sees it as a removable drive, so at least it is working on that level. iTunes just doesnt see the device, its apparently supposed to be on the left somewhere.

Has the thought ever occured to you that your cable/dock might be faulty? :)
 
Start by seeing if Windows sees any device at all. I'm only guessing, but I imagine something should pop up in your device manager. If it does and iTunes don't see the iPod, it's probably formatted for a Mac. If it doesn't, either your cable or the iPod itself is faulty. It happens...

EDIT: Just saw your update re: windows seeing it.

If it really gives you that much grief I'd gladly take it off your hands :D
