PLEASE HELP!! ipod wont do anything at all
Well, my computer crashed some time ago with my itunes, but I was successfully able to restore them. However, about an hour after my ipod finished updating, it froze. It wouldnt do anything, and as it was frozen while playing, it ran out of batteries a few hours later. I wasn't too worried, this happens to me alot, I just recharge the Ipod and it works. But after charging the ipod for about four hours, it was even worse. Although the screen was not frozen, all it would display is an apple and then a folder with an exclamation point. I found out that that means i need to update my Ipod. So I downloaded the Ipod Updating software and plugged my iPod in. But the program just read "Error" and kept disconnecting my iPod without stopping it. Now my ipod is still completely useless, only showing that folder, and making really loud buzzing and clicking noises. Does anyone have any suggestions?!?!?
Haley,
You didn't say if you use a Mac or a PC. If you use a Mac fire up Disk Utilities and do a Disk Repair. if that doesn't do it then do an erase and reload the iPod software into the iPod.
If you're on a PC I haven't got a clue.

i just got my ipod for christmas & when i hook up my ipod 2 sync an error message comes up saying that it the file cant be read or written to. This is drving me crazy please help any info will be helpfull!
Hi Mike_200207,
Does it work if you manually manage your iPod's music?
To switch to that setting, click on your iPod in the Source List of iTunes, and go to the "Music" tab. Deselect the "Sync" option, and click on "Apply" in the bottom-right corner of this iTunes screen to save your settings.
Then, in iTunes, click on your iPod's "Music" section. Manually select all of the songs, and delete them off of your iPod. Then eject/disconnect the iPod from your computer.
Now, connect it back to the computer again, and try to manually transfer all of your iTunes library songs to your iPod (to do that, select all of the songs, and drag them to your iPod's name in the Source List of iTunes).
After the songs have loaded to your iPod, you can eject/disconnect it again, and see if all of the songs that you transferred appear on the iPod.
For more information on how to manually manage your iPod's music, see this:

AHHH! major problems. Please help. (iPod wont restore)
Having tried every FAQ recommendations i could find, nothing is working. I have a 4th gen 20GB click wheel, no color, and when i plug in the USB it does one of several things, 1. the ipod freezes and seems to be stuck in the loading mode. 2. is not recognized by windows, 3. an autoplay loading thing pops up, (note that the du-DU noise is made when i plug it in, if this happens), and 4. if im really lucky, i mean its only happened about 2/60 times, it will be recognized and appear in itunes, asking me to restore it do to corruption, and then i get an error message about a file not being downloadable or something, ive done everything the FAQ asks including reinstalling it multiple times, deleting all old versions, everything, but it wont recognize the iPod. I used to have problems with it being corrupt but it would just restore like normal and would work everytime i plugged it in. Also, sometimes i try using both the 1337 Firewire and USB 2.0 because i have the double cable. Nothing seems to work, but I desperatly need my iPod. Music is pretty much my life.
Ok, now i tried http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304309 but its not doing me any good either, when i got to the iTunes folder (i had "Show hidden files" on) it only showed me two things, 1. a folder titled SC Info containing 2 files, SC Info.sidb and SC Info.sidd. 2. a file "iPodDevices" and XML file that opens up a page with this on it...

My ipod wont do anything! I go to turn it on and it just stays on the apple logo screen, and I can't do anything. When i plug it into the computer it still just stays at the apple logo. The ipod dont show up in itunes or on my desktop. I tried reseting it and it turns of and then comes right back on and freezes on the apple screen. After being plugged into the computer for awhile it will go to that little disc thingy with the bar at the bottom loading, which means its checking for whats wrong and stuff but after its done it shows the disc with a little checkmark by it. Anyway please help!
