All the music is gone from my iPod & I keep getting firmware error messages

I left my iPod (iPod Classic, 80GB, purchased May 08, I believe it's the current generation) to charge overnight and this morning I wanted to sync it up to get some podcasts that had downloaded overnight. After I did the sync, I ejected the iPod and removed it. When I removed it, everything was gone from the iPod. No music, no podcasts, nothing. I plugged it back in and got this message:
-iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "Sven". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings.-
(Sven is the name of my iPod)
So I tried to restore it and iTunes said it needed to download the firmware. So I downloaded the firmware and the firmware did not install. (I didn't write down the error message.)
I ejected, plugged back in and tried again. Now, when I plug in the iPod I get the error message from above ("iTunes cannot read...") and when I click restore, I get the following message:
-The iPod "iPod" could not be restored because the firmware file could not be found.-
I've tried this a few times. Does anyone know of anything that can be done? I am still under warranty, but the closest store is about 50 miles away and I'd like to fix this on my own if I can!
Thanks in advance for any help

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? What to do if iPod can't be updated because the firmware file was corrupt or not found

Hello:
I am very much a novice with Final Cut. I am trying to import some video files from my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error 1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1). Can someone help? Thanks, Paul

You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

I burned photos to a CD-R and the CD-R automatically ejected. Now I keep getting an error message that says to complete the burn before I can quit iPhoto.

I burned photos to a CD-R and the CD-R automatically ejected. The photos are now on the CD-R. Now I keep getting an error message that says to complete the burn before I can quit iPhoto. I can not shut down the computer until iphoto shuts down.

Hit Command + Option + esc on your keyboard and force quit iPhoto. I'm sure it just got stuck talking to your optical drive.
Hope it helped

TS1702 When I try to reload The Sims FreePlay (sister deleted accidentally) from Apps Store I keep getting an error message "There is not enough avaiable storage to download "The Sims FreePlay". I check my settings and I do have enough available storage.

When i try to reload The Sims FreePlay (sister accidentally deleted) from App Store I keep getting error message. There is not enough available storage on my device but there actually is enought storage. Not sure why I cannot get App to reload. I have synced to my computer. Help!

To download/install an app directly to the iPod you need available storage equal to about three times the file download size. Syncing the app to the iPod requires a lot less. Thus you either have to free up more storage or sync the app from your computer.

White screen when connected to a charge. At times it has a battery with a flash through it and at times an error code comes up. it does not hold a charge for long.
i've downloaded the newest software updat (i think)
i've tried the application loader in desktop manager.
taken the battery out and back in.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me before i throw the phone out my window????
What happened when you tried putting different battery in it? Did you ask to borrow one to test from the carrier?
Or did you purchase a new battery and try it?
Do you have the right battery for this series phone and is it an OEM Blackberry battery?
See the picture below to make sure you have the right battery (note label color)
Let us know.

The instructiion at 0x5de7cfe3 referenced memory at 0x00000004. The memory could not be read. I keep getting this error message, and iTunes keeps opening automatically.

I upgraded to 10.5 last weekend, and since then my iTunes keeps popping open. I get the error message above, but sometimes the first "code" is different, the last time it was 0x6473cfe3 instead. So irritating....

Try updating your QuickTime Player to the most recent version. Does that clear up the launch errors in iTunes?

TS3219 Why did my itunes delete all the music off my iphone and how do I get it back on? Syncing has not worked

Got my Iphone. Already had itunes and was able to figure out how to put my music on. Got a new laptop with Windows 8. Downloaded itunes and authorized this new computer. Imported a cd to the library, then couldn't sync the new songs from the cd. Somehow started a sync, then boom all the music was gone from the iphone. Maybe I hit a restore button? Don't have a clue what I am doing, now I have managed to get only the imported songs from the library onto the iphone, but none of the others. Everytime I plug it into my laptop, my photo stream asks if I want to download all my pics, that are already downloaded, and doesn't open itunes. Help. I am getting fed up and cant even figure out how to download the user manuals on any of this stuff!
