i have no idea whats going on sorry about that maybe a corrupt hdd or something is wrong with the device so my advice is to call apple and see what they can do or if its still under warranty send it out to them but contact them first good luck!

look if you format in my computer than unistall the Ipod updater. reinstall newest version. Than connect the ipod to the computer open ipod updater . that should do it but if not you got yourself a dead ipod.

Try resetting your hard drive. You will lose all of your songs and information, but at least your iPod will work. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ip_gettingstarted_t14.html

[crazykidz]

if it comes down to getting it repaired.. talk to itsorage on this forum.. he does repaires and it will be cheaper that apple!!

[annoying0247]

i dont no what i should do because i had it over a year. If i could get my computer to recognize the ipod then i could restore it and it would work fine.

[mmm linux]

look up on how to put it in hard drive mode and then connect it. then update it.

I say reset it, you may or may not lose your data but hey, it will work...I had to do this for my friend and all of her music stayed on so who knows....hope ya fix it soon

If I were you, I would definetly go with the hard reset. If that doesn't work, call up Apple and ask them about it. If you lose all of your songs, you can just re-sync it with your computer.

Um apple probably won't help unless ya got the extended warrenty..

A couple of my friends had this same problem. The only way it was able to be fixed was to send it back to Apple. I tried to fix one and once I had given up it started working again. I think that the hard drive is either broken or the ipod OS is corrupted.
