I don't use an Ipod.

But, this might be of help.

For USB2.0 with my I2650, I use this card:

However, for it to work properly, it is necessary to install this:

I don't know if this might be of help (it wasn't to me - I couldn't even find
such a setting), but just in case:

This problem most likely caused by the USB is on legacy setting in the BIOS
