5th Gen iPod - Accidently Cut and Pasted in My Computer... Now Buggered

So, I was at school, listening to my music as per normal, when class ended and I had to leave. I closed iTunes before ejecting the iPod and didn't want to log off Windows without taking the iPod out first (being as its new and I love it so). I went to My Computer to eject it as a removable device, which I have never had a problem with. I right clicked the icon, but as I scrolled down the list of options, I accidently went one option too far and clicked "Cut" instead of eject. Well, figuring I had to eject it still, I "Pasted" the iPod back into the window. It ejected fine, but had been wiped in the process. This worried me...
The situation was further compounded when I went home that evening and went to replace all of my music. iTunes came up with its standard "New version available. Would you like to upgrade" box, so I said "Yes." The installation went fine until the very end, in the finishing window, where it said "Installation interrupted. Please try re-installing at a later time." This didnt worry me as I expected a restart would solve the problem. But it didnt. Not only that, iTunes was no longer in my Add/Remove Programs list. I tried re-installing the old version I received on the CD with the iPod but it did the same thing. A little frustrated, I came on to Apple.com and checked the support articles. I found that the solution they offered was "Re-install Windows." I dont have a Windows CD. Windows is burned into my hard drive, so I have whats called a recovery disc. Needless to say, I had to burn my hard drive and reinstall everything...
Now, I was finally ready to install iTunes and the iPod updater. I installed both and plugged in my iPod. Instead of the warm and inviting messages informing me of my computers undying love, I got this:

Needless to say, I was crushed. So here I am. My computer won't recognize my iPod, and I cannot run the updater because of this. I've tried resetting my iPod by holding the menu and centre buttons, but it gives me that same message. I have reinstalled all the software I can think of, but nothing has worked so far. I tried that XPlay software, but it says there is no iPod connected. I went to school and connected it on their computers. Works fine. Any computer I plugged it in to, the iPod showed up. Kind of like it was taunting me...
Anyways, that is my situation. I'm on day three or four (I can't remember) and I would enjoy having my iPod back. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. (Also, I'm sorry for writing an epic, but the situation is making me kind of nuts.)
P.S. - I'm going to try to restore the iPod to the factory settings this weekend using my friends computer. I haven't been able to so far because my computer wont let me, and the computers at my school dont have iPod software (darn Tech's won't let me install it anyways) or they're macs, which dont help me really.
Sorry, Im really done now....
Thanks

I just bought a 5th gen Ipod from someone and now it wont turn on/boot up

I just bought a 5th gen Ipod from someone and restored it to factory setting I then uploaded my music to it and ejected it but may have unplugged it to soon. Now the ipod just keeps trying to turn on but doesn't and it won't respond to manual reset has anyone had this problem and what was done to fix it? thank you for your time I would really appriciate it.

The 5th gen iPod "classic" was the first "video" iPod. It's video capability is more limited, and supported video resolution is lower, typically only 320x240. Even if the video is standard def (SD), and not HD, it is probably at least 640x480.
Also, current iTunes Store video content (such as TV shows and movies) uses DRM (copy protection). The 5th gen iPod was designed before the iTunes Store started selling video content (as it does now); I don't think it supports the DRM technology.
If you have video content that is not DRM'd and plays in iTunes (such as video podcasts), you may be able to use the convert command in iTunes. Select the item on a list in iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar
File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version
That version may play on your iPod, so iTunes will sync it.

May seem silly, but I can't seem to cut and paste from delta computer services (land role) to google docs

How can I cut and paste from Delta Computer Systems (land roles) to Google Docs using my new MacBook Pro?

5th gen Ipod not recognized and not charging on any computer.

Hello
I have a 5th gen Ipod with an odd issue. I have an Ihome radio with Ipod dock in which my Ipod charges and plays everthing just fine. I usually just keep it there to charge and only hook up to my computer if I want to buy something or put other music on it. I tried syncing the other day and nothing happened, would not sync, charge, my computer would not even recognize it. I have tried 2 differnt cables, reset, have tried it with itunes started and not running on my vista computer and have also tried just to charge on a computer with XP that doesnt have Itunes installed. My daughter has in Ipod Touch that works just fine with both my cables and computers.
Any ideas of whats wrong with my 5th gen?
Thanks

Try restarting your computer with your ipod plugged in. You might also try using a different USB port. If all else fails downgrade to itunes 6 here http://www.apple.com/support/

5th gen ipod is connected and seen on itunes yet will not sync

My 5th gen ipod-nano is connected - visual and accessible on new version of itunes (using PC, running Win 7) yet will not sync. This only started happening after the last update from apple and I have spent HOURS trying to figure out how to fix including removing all apple apps and software and reinstalling 6 times now!!! Even when a diagnoses is run it shows my ipod is connected yet when I try to sync.. it tells me that disk is not found?

Well, nothing has worked yet. Same Itunes account. When I try to download from the App Store app on the touch, I downloads all the way to the end of the loading... installing phases. then says, "Unable to Downlad Application: app will be available for download when you log in to the Itunes Store on your computer."
But Itunes on the computer will do the same thing... load it all the way up, then give an error code of OxE8003FFE.
I tried restoring the Ipod, so now it only has the factory apps, music, videos, and no apps. And I can't add even one app.

5th Gen Ipod Classic Charging and Connecting problem. Battery has been changed and no improvement.

I have a 5th gen classic 30 GB ipod, that will not charge with an adaptor or USB 2.0 It also will not display the "Do not disconnect" when connected to a USB 2.0 conector and is not being picked up by my computer (Windows Vista). It was originally on a XP computer years ago. Battery change did not help. I have a lot of music I would like to get off of it, but my computer will not recognize and the new battery is draining down. Help me.

there is also the posibility of it being fried
have you considered sending it for diagnostics?
the online place I use (digiexpress) charges $25 for diagnostics and estimate,
if you decide to have it fixed, they then add the cost of parts, or ship it back unfixed.
labor is included in the $25 fee
My classic had 2 batterises changed by myself to no avail, until I decided to send it in to realize the board was fried. waste of money changing batteries, iPod went to the recycling bin. now i leave it to the pros and actually save $$.

IPod Touch cut and paste

Just got a new (3.1.2) iTouch. Is it just me, or is the cut & paste function really minimal? I can only get it to work in mail. I'd like to be able to use it across apps on the device itself; syncing to my Mac laptop might be useful, but not necessarily what I'm looking for now. Is there an app that is more comprehensive? I see a few out there, but they're either not well reviewed, seem mainly designed to sync to the laptop, or are by unauthorized developers. Any tips would be appreciated.

It works in most apps for me. You need to touch _and hold_ for the cut/paste to appear. Sometimes it's not as responsive as we would like.

5th Gen iPod Still Not Updating to Latest Software

Since my last qery I've not done much with my iPod but yesterday I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. I formatted my 5th Gen iPod in Windows and deleted all content from it.
After re-starting my PC iTunes started and recognised my iPod and started the update process. It downloaded and unzipped the software and started to update - farther than I've got before so things were looking up. Then "Error 1418..." again!!
My iPod seems to be destined to be stuck on version 1.2.3 firmware unless any of you kind and knowledgable people out there have any new ideas because the 5 R's a format and numerous update and restore attempts have all failed.
Any suggestions please?
P.S. Happy Easter!

You may refer to this tutorial, it's about how to fix iTunes sync problem with iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

I cannot "cut and paste" a link in Firefox RC-1, I can in the body of the page but not the actual link location at the top of the browser

I just found I can't repeat the problem, when I opened a new tab and submitted this question to you, the cut and paste of the links now work when I returned to the original page. I had tried it on at least 4 different links earlier.

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

I have a 5th gen iPod Touch. I have made playlists in iTunes. I need to get them to the iPod. When I had a Classic, it was automatic. You could drag and drop using iTunes music to the playlist in iTunes and it would automatically sync to the Classic.

I have a 5th gen iPoc Touch. In the past, with the Classic, I could drag and drop from my iTunes music to a Classic playlist through iTunes. Now, the playlist I create in iTunes doesn't show on the Touch. I have maybe 29 GB of music on my Touch. I have already created playlists in iTunes that have substantial amounts of songs in each. How can I get those playlists on the Touch without doing a total sync that wipes the iPod? Is there a way to do it?
As well, I am noticing here that my 5th gen iPod doesn't show as a registered device. How do I register it?

For how to sync see:

Try syncing using the manual method

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

ITunes 7.3.2 (OSX) and 5th Gen iPod not synching

I have had my 5th gen iPod (30GB) for about 2 years now and originally had used it with Windows, then I switched over to a Mac in Feb and have been pretty happy. Normally i synch my iPod daily to get my playlists updated (so I don't listen to the same thing all the time) and so I can get new Podcasts that were downloaded. Before I left for work this morning, I was able to synch my iPod with no problem, when I was about to synch it before I went to bed, it will not synch. When I try to put in the iPod, iTunes then crashes. I try to put in the iPod and let iTunes open automatically, it loads then crashes again. I have rebooted both the Mac and did a reset on my iPod, but can't even perform a restore since before iTunes would pop up the iPod section, it crashes first. it IS mac formatted. i don't know what is going on and what chnged from this morning to this evening and why suddenly it doesn't work.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I deleted both iTunes and Quicktime7, emptied the trash, restarted, then reinstalled QT then iTunes. Still getting the same issue. Still "crashing" when the iPod is connected.
This is some of the information from the bug report that I thought might be helpful to figure out what went wrong (didn't want to include ALL the crash report, so I just included the info before the "thread crashed" details and the system info at the bottom):

5th gen iPod lost and will not play videos after connecting to iTunes

I have a 5th gen iPod. When last connecting to iTunes, videos and movies disappeared. Purchased a new movie that iTunes says was compatible with 5th gen, movie won't transfer to iPod. My settings state that I will manually manage videos and music. Performed all 5 "R"s and iPod still won't accept movies "...can't be played on this iPod"

Let's try the following user tip with that one:
