Ipod Not Being Read

Hello. I was having issues with my ipod, as it was freezing. I then read through the five "R"'s and after trying numerous times to restart my ipod. Then, seeing as the problem, which was my ipod kept freezing. Then, I downloaded the ipod update software, so I restored it.
So, after seeing that all my music was wiped out, I plugged my ipod back into m computer, hoping that it would finally work. However, a little window came up after a few moments, saying:
You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read. To use the unreadable volumes, click Initilize. To continue with the disk inserted, click Ignore.
What do I do? I don't understand the window that comes up, when I click Intiliaze, so what do I do?
Mac OS X   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

I have tried putting it in disk Mode, it says:
Ok to disconnect.
But, it is not anywhere to be found on the disk utility window.
Thanks. Is there anything else I can do?

  • Ipod not being read and freezing

    When I plug my ipod into my computer, it goes to "do not disconnect" but not the flashing do not disconnect. Its frozen. My computer wont read it. So I unplug it and its frozen. I know how to restart it but that doesnt help me from when it freezes again once I hook it up. How do I stop it from freezing and not being read. Thanks

    i am having a similar problem with my 4g 20G
    it freezes when i try to update. i thought maybe it was the latest version of itunes i recently installed but i reverted back to an old updater version and itunes 6 and while i was able to get 300 songs on the ipod without freezing, when i tried to put the rest of my library on there it freezes. i've even tried to put as little as 15 songs on at a time and that still freezes the ipod.
    i have a mac powerbook with macos 10.2

  • Ipod not being read by computer

    My computer (PC) isn't reading my iPod nano, but other computers are. In the mean time, my computer is able to read my mom's iPod nano (they are the exact same thing). I've tried different chords, I've updated and restarted my computer, but I don't know what's wrong with it. It's quite stressful because I've been trying to update my iPod for a while and haven't been able to.
    Thank you

    I'm haveing the same problem; my computer isn't recognising my brother's ipod so I can't transfer his songs onto our new computer. I've reinstalled itunes and restarted the computer but nothing is working. I don't know what to do and it's getting Realy annoying!

  • My 3rd gen ipod nano is not being read by itunes when I plug it into my mac laptop.  It says "no name" on the mac screen, I lost all my music on the ipod itself.

    My 3rd gen iPod nano is not being read by my iTunes on my mac.  When going to sync, the mac screen says "no name". Also I believe I lost all the music on the iPod.  When turned on it says "Welcome" as if it is new.  I tried to copy all my music into the "no name" folder and then sync.  The iPod said it was "syncing".

    So does iTunes see the iPod or not?  I couldn't quite understand from your post as you said it wasn't, but then said that the iPod was syncing...

  • XML file not being read by Accordion Demo

    I had this working last week and it was a beautiful thing. I
    subsequently added many more product items to the products.xml file
    and resent it, now the products.xml file is not being read by the
    index page. I have read all the posts and added all the suggested
    fixes -
    added {useCache: false} to result in var dsProductFeatures =
    new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("products.xml", "products/product[name =
    '{dsProducts::name}']/features/feature",{useCache: false})
    added <cfheader name="Cache-Control" value= "no-cache">
    <cfheader name="Expires" value="0">
    <cfheader name="Pragma" value="no-cache"> to header
    added var d = new Date();
    var cToday = d.getSeconds();
    var spryURL = "
    http://localhost:8500/SpryMe/Sample1/employees.xml?cacheBuster="
    + cToday; to header
    but my xml file is not being read. The script is running
    because the little fields on the right are moving.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi,
    What's happening if you open the xml page (employees.xml)
    directly in browser. Are you able to see all the records? Is the
    XML valid?
    Regards,
    Dragos.
    PS: do you have a public URL where we can see that?
