More than a simple answer needed. Please help.

I have a 4g 40gb iPod that has files on it but will not play. I get a folder icon every time I try to use it. I have taken the following steps to restore it to no avail:
Verifying Disk
Repairing Disk
Erasing Disk
Partitioning Disk
Updating Firmware
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
Resetting
Manually Updating Playlists, etcetera...
The iPod is recognized by iTunes and songs do load onto it. The files stay on the iPod when taking it out of the dock and placing it back. The icon on the desktop shows an iPod mini instead of my 4g iPod. When trying different firmware updaters the program sits waiting for an iPod to mount even though it is mounted on the desktop.
If anyone can tell me what is the problem and viable solutions I would appreciate it.
17in 1GHz iMac, iBook 800, 4g iPod Mac OS X (10.4.2)
17in 1GHz iMac, iBook 600 Mac OS X (10.3)

"this iPhone has used more than 5 apple id's" please help.

I have my friend's iPhone 4 but I have restored the phone, still when I try to log in into iCloud, it gives me an error "this iPhone has used more than 5 apple id's" please help.

You think you are logging into icloud, but the error you get indicates that you are trying to create a new account. Since each device has a limit to the number of ID it can create (you seem to have reached that limit), then IF you are trying to create a new account, you'll have to use a different device or computer to do that. Otherwise you are not entering an ID to an existing icloud account.

How can i choose more than one transition using idvd. please help..

Hi my name is Luis and I took pictures and wanted to make a slideshow but when i want to choose more than one transition it wont let me. It will only let me choose just one. I would like it so the photo transition was random not just one. Please Help me if someone knows.. Thank You Very Much

Syncing and backing up in iTunes can be accomplished with multiple devices. They identify the devices based on the phone number, phone name, etc. The only way you would have an issue is if you were using different calendar contacts on the computer. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495

The people on these boards aren't Apple Support and can't do that for you. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use
