Ipod not working, please help!!!!

I brought my ipod nano in september of last year. i have had no problem with it unitll now. yesterday when i went to navigate through the music section on my ipod it reset itself to the black apple logo. i have now fixed this problem and can navigate through the "music" file. However now whenever i connect the ipod to itunes, my ipod is recognised however when i connect it, it immediatly dis-connects itself from itunes. i also have a black pad lock next to the bar at which states how much free space i have left on the ipod. What is this?!?!?. i have read about many peoples problems with corrupt podcasts and i believe that i have a corrupt podcast. when i explore the ipod in my computer it shows a podcast in the music folder which i have tried to delete but whenevr i try to delete it it comes back again. this is the route to my problem i believe becasue now deleting every song off the ipod through my computer, this podcast is the only remaining item left on the ipod. I have tried the 5r's to correct my problem but whenevr i get to the last "r" (restore) i open the ipod updater and it says "internal ipod manager error" and shuts down the ipod updater.
sorry for the long post and please, someone help me!!!<br>

The lock is normal. It means the iPod is set to automatically update.
Also, where are you deleting the podcast from? A folder on the iPod through My Computer?
