iPod Manager starts then quits

I had the same problem too.

To fix that I uninstalled iTunes and all of iPod
software. Then I reinstalled the bundled iPod software.
Everything worked as regular. Then I reinstalled iTunes.
After that I noticed that the iPod manager was removed.

Now when I plug in the iPod the "safely remove hardware"
feature only appears. And the iPod is automatically
loaded into iTunes.

Hope this helps.
