Ahh, sorry then. I had a similar thing a long time ago with an iPod touch. My son handed it to me and asked if I could get it going.
TBH, I dont know that much about apple products, but I do remember that what I did involved me downloading iTunes and doing something very similar to what I posted...
It DID work for me at the time, so I googled it and got the advice I pasted...
Perhaps this link will be of help?
