If it worked fine before and you have not changed anything I would suspect a virus infection. Run a thorough scan. You might try AVG Free in case your antivirus is missing it. Be sure to scan your external hard drive as well.
Digital cameras and Cellphones as well as Ipods use a program to communicate with the computer. Sometimes called drivers or programs. Try to reinstall the driver for your ipod. Check the ipod web site for any updated drivers.
Another option is to restore your system to the settings it had at an earlier date when everything worked. To restore go to: Accessories/ SystemTools/ Restore. Open restore and select a restore point (date) that it worked before.
