[SOLVED] Unique Folder Icons

I've searched google and the forums, and I can't seem to find a way to set folder icons. You know, a folder with a music note for the music folder, etc. When I used KDE it was automatic, based off the largest category of files in the folder, but now I'm using xmonad and thunar, and I'm looking for a manual way

I don't believe that Thunar supports such a thing, though I know that Nautilus does under Edit -> Backgrounds and Emblems.

  • [SOLVED] Thunar folder icon image preview?

    Is it possible to get Thunar to show previews of the images inside of a folder on the folder thumbnail icon? I have been trying to determine this on and off for a few months now, but I can't find anything.
    I would like this to happen automatically, not requiring a folder.jpg or otherwise manually selecting an image inside of the folder. Any idea if this is possible?

    Thunar is a file manager for a minimalist DE - I wouldn't expect it to have all the bells and whistles...
    That makes sense, I assumed it would take some sort of additional program to do it, I will check out some other file managers. I currently use Worker and Thunar, with Thunar only being used when browsing for media files. I should probably get something more full featured for that. I'll mark this as resolved, thanks!

  • No more special folder icon after moved My Documents to network

    Hi,
    I am on W7 Pro SP1 64bit in workgroup mode. Recently I moved (or folder redirection) the Documents (aka My Documents), My Pictures and few others user folders (those user folders in \Users\<User_Name>\<folder_name>) to a network share hosted
    by a non-Windows NAS. At the same time, Offline Files ("Always Available Offline") feature was turned on for those folders. Everything works fine but I no longer get the unique folder icon for each of these said folders. These folders used to be like this...
    but now they become like this...
    i went to Properties but "Choose Folder Icon" button is not available...
    when i unhide hidden and system protected files, i could see the desktop.ini is there.
    anyone know how can i restore the folder icons?
    any help is highly appreciated! TQVM in advance!
    TQ! Jacko

    Hi,
    As you can see, these icons indicate that these folders are offline files, based on my research, this is by design so as to we can know what files are offline files.
    Have a nice day.

  • Sometimes when starting my iMac it shows a folder icon with a Question mark in it. Mac does not start up, only when shutting down and restart again solves it

    Sometimes when starting up my iMac it shows only a folder icon with a question mark in it. Nothing happened. Only when start up again it runs ok.
    What can be the cause of this.
    thanks for your help
    Hans

    That's an indication your Mac can't find a system folder to boot from.
    Open System Preferences > Startup Disk
    Select:  MacintoshHD OS X
    For OS X v10.4, v10.5, and v10.6 >    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
    Helps when you ask for help to tell us which Mac OS X is installed.
    If you aren't certain, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    The version is noted there.

  • [SOLVED]Incorrect thunar folder icons

    Hello I've been using the Area Blue icon theme for a few days but after a reboot yesterday the folder icons are GNOME icons. All the other icons are unaffected. I've tried deleting and re-downloading the icons but the folder icons just won't work. Any ideas?
    Edit:
    this is only happening in thunar all other programs and unaffected. PCmanFM works too

    No I was saying that since I was setting up everything(themes, compositing, etc..) today I may have changed something that after the reboot caused the icons to "disappear".
    Also it is only in thunar that the folder icons are missing.
    I've tried searching around but I haven't seen anything so far, but I may have missed somthing
    "Having the icon pack in /usr/share/icons (not "/usr/share/themes") makes it available system-wide, for other users as well."
    Thank you that's what I meant.

  • [SOLVED]Gnome icon themes - folder icons

    I think it belongs here.
    I made some folder icons for  retrofukation icons theme and tried to apply them as documents, music etc. folder icons, but did not succeed. Then I thought the theme was written wrong, and tried to apply 100% working (in that u-distro) Humanity theme, but with the same effect.
    Then I updated the system, but nothing happened.
    Then I googled for a while, but found nothing worth reading - maybe because of bad search query...
    Anyway, does anyone know how to make 'places' icons work?
    //I run a standalone wm and use lxappearance. When I downloaded and tried gnome-control-center, it did not help as well.
    P.S. The icons:

    Yes, that works just fine, thank you! xdg-user-dirs was not installed, because I did not install the whole gnome. I installed it and updated the directories (xdg-user-dirs-update) and now the icons look just like I want.
    But I have a couple of folders (like ~/Distros or ~/Source) for which I would like to set custom icons too.
    So I have ~/.icons/retrofukation/scaled/places/folder-source.png and ~/Source directory. Any chance to set an icon for it?

  • Kernel Panic/"broken folder" icon but boots in safe mode

    I'm totally puzzled.
    When I boot the computer either from the HDD or my bootable back-up, i get the broken folder icon.
    But i can boot just fine in safe mode from the HDD - in fact, that's how i'm typing this message right now.
    I have turned off all login items.
    I repaired permissions on disk utility.
    What else can i do (short of my genius bar appointment tomorrow morning)?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas.
    I assume restoring from my backup HDD won't work since I can't boot from it?

  • IPod with folder icon, won't reset

    I bought my third iPod at the end of summer, an iPod photo 60 GB. It has worked perfect until 2 days ago, when it suddenly froze. I rebooted it, but the display showed a sad iPod. Checked the support files and tried to put it into Disk mode, but it didn't work, so I just left it in the charger overnight, which, surprisingly enough, managed to solve the problem for a while. When I woke up, the iPod was OK.
    So I took it out for another day of adventures. At first it skipped all of the songs from an album that I had recently transferred to my iPod, but it played older songs. But after maybe 20 minutes, it froze again. Another reboot and another sad iPod icon. This time, however, I managed to put it into Disk Mode, and restored it to factory settings. It didn't restart itself after the restoration (waited for an hour or so), so I manually removed it from my desktop and unplugged it. On the screen there is a folder icon with an exclamation point. Replugged it, and it appears on my desktop and in iTunes, and starts filling up with songs. When it's finally done I remove the iPod from my computer. Once again I see the folder icon.
    Each time I connect the iPod to my iBook it's on my desktop and in iTunes. The software can't be out-of-date because there hasn't been an update since I bought it.
    Restoring it to factory settings shouldn't have harmed the iPod - or should it?
    It's charged, it's filled with music, at least according to iTunes. It's just that STUPID folder icon that I can't get my head around. Why is it there and what can I do to get rid of it?

    Well, here are the two pages that might be useful to you:
    iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop, an exclamation point or sad iPod icon appears onscreen
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point when you turn it on
    Those give some possible ways to deal with the Sad iPod/Folder problems. The first step in the Sad iPod steps involved putting it in disk mode:
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode
    If you can get it into disk mode, you may be able to get your music off. I hope so. But I also hope that if you do, you make sure to have a backup of all your music; since Apple only allows one download, it should be protected as any other investment would be.

  • Lion OS Folder Icons and Settings Change

    My new 8 core Mac Pro with Lion arrived August 29 to replace an older Mac Pro with Snow Leopard. FYI - Just before the new Mac Pro arrived, I checked and repaired any permissions issues via the Disk Utility. Once the new Mac arrived, it took four days to finally get things moved over from the main hard drive because of various problems. I held up the transfer from the other 3 drives and am glad that I did. After a bad optical drive was replaced, constant Finder problems have been occurring which appear to revolve around permission conflicts. In essence, the Mac OS on my Mac Pro appears to be schizophrenic and apparently, it is in need of a frontal lobotomy. In reviewing posts in this forum, I was surprised to learn that users have been reporting similiar issues ever since Lion was released. I was given the impression that my complaint about it was the first for the techs who have attempted to resolve the problem.
    I do a large amount of photography using the HDR technique so it is important to arrange image icons in specific groupings and order within folders. We have all gotten used to having icons in the same place or configuration in folders each time we open them. This not only gives us a feeling of consistency but is a critical time save when dealing with images and other graphic files. Unfortunately, because of some overlooked programming issue, the Mac OS Lion is confused as to what permissions it should pay attention do. While working, icon arrangements are constantly changing causing many hours of additional work without let-up. There is also an issue that happens I would call Blinking for no better of a word to use. In certain folders, icons will dissappear then quickly show again. This can happen about every 10 - 14 seconds sometimes.
    I have also noticed related problems with new software upgrades. They work fine at first, then all of a sudden, they do not. Simple slideshows exported to video using Lightroom now appear completely black. In Dreamweaver CS 5.5, I can connect to the ftp server but am not allowed to upload. I am stuck in limbo, not being able to migrate all my work over from the older computer because all folder icon layouts will be destroyed if I start working in them. It has also created licensing issues because now softwares are on two Mac Pros and a laptop. The latest tech support request is to either erase my new startup disk and installing softwares one at a time, or consider installing the more stable Snow Leopard. Has anyone figured out an answer? I have never had such a bad experience with an Apple product in over 20 years. I would highly recommend to professional graphic artists, photographers, or other visual professionals that rely on the consistency of icon views in folders to stay away from Mac OS Lion until the problems have been resolved. Hopefully Apple intends to correct this. It has already taken several months.

    What finally worked for me!
    My internal Mac hard drive is my “filing cabinet” with all folders installed by Lion (Applications, Users, System, and Library) plus my personal folders and data in each visible when I click on and open the harddrive. My internal Mac hard drive icon is on my desktop. After a restart the file and folder icons inside most of the first level of my personal folders would shrink and rearrange themselves.
    After an hour on the phone with Apple Tech Support andt rying a variety of approaches, we finally solved the problem of the shrinking and rearranged icons. (Thank you Manny!!!) This is what finally worked for me and my new MacbookPro 15-inch delivered with Lion already installed.
    BTW I use a mouse….
    Right clicked on the internal hard drive icon on my desktop. (Note: “Out of the box “ when you startup with Lion the first time the Mac Hard Drive probably will not be visible on the desktop and you have to reveal it!)
    In the dialogue box that opened I selected and clicked on “Get Info.”
    A long window opened. We looked at Sharing & Permissions at the very bottom of the window. In the “You have custom access” window my log in name was not there. This was the culprit!!! But the box was grayed out.
    At the lower right hand corner of the long window I clicked on the padlock to open it.
    A dialogue box opened with my user name and asked for my Password. I entered my Password and clicked “OK.”
    The grayed out area of the Sharing & Permissions box immediately darkened.
    I clicked on the plus sign at the bottom left hand corner of the long window.
    A window opened at the top of the long box. I highlighted my name on the right hand side and then clicked on the “Select” button.  My name then appeared in the Sharing & Permissions box at the bottom of the long window.
    To the right of my name un "Privelege" I made sure that “Read & Write” was turned on (use the little arrows.)
    Back to the lower left hand corner and clicked on the gear and when the box opened I clicked on “Apply to enclosed items.”
    Back at the lower right hand corner of long window, clicked on the open padlock to close it and lock the settings.
    In each folder using “Show View Options”dialogue window I resized all the shrunken icons, set the Arrange to by “Name,” anything else I wanted, clicked on “Use as defaults” closed the window and moved on. When I rebooted everything had stabilized!

    Is there anyone there? I hope there is someone who can you understand this problem and have the common sense to respond?
    I open gmail. I want to save an email to one of my folders.
    I position my cursor over the appropriate Folder icon or by choice, to the Trash.
    The friendly finger pointing cursor icon changes to an arrow icon.
    The hand icon allows me flawless access to opening and/or moving emails.
    The arrow, however does not open the link.
    On the Google menu bar the cursor hand with finger opens the links to Everett (my name), Search, Images, Maps and Play.
    When I attempt to open the remaining links in the menu bar (YouTube, News, Gmail, Drive, Calendar and More) the arrow icon replaces the hand. The arrow icon does not work. It will not activate these links.  Nor does it open email messages in the Inbox.
    Usually I reset, even reboot Safire and sometimes the problem goes away, then reappears.
    Can you imagine if this condition should it happen to a tech savvy Google Support person? Perhaps one can share and make my problem go away.
    I am considering dropping Google as my mail source. Unfortunate!

    I have uninstalled my Access Connection, but this problem seems to persist. IBM technician have changed the wireless card of my T60, the first few days after it was changed was very fine, no problem at all. About a week later, the problem occured again, and it happened quite frequently after that occurence. Now i really have no idea what is the cause and how to solve it. Will be greatful if there is anyone that can help me.

  • Help! folder icon w/ exclamation point - hard drive problem?

    I live in the philippines and the store which i called up said the only solution is to show the receipt and they will send it to singapore but i still have to buy a new one. it's like they're not giving me choices at all. i know my iPod is not yet "dead", why do i have to buy a new one? how can i have this repaired?! it hasn't been a year yet, but around 10 months already and i don't have the receipt anymore.
    here's what happened...
    for the past week my iPod has been skipping songs, going to the next ones but doesn't play at all. sometimes it even freezes. and i hear this whirring sound at the back.
    so i decided to connect it to the computer and erase all my songs first coz i thought maybe the problem was with the files. but iTunes didn't recognize the device. so i decided to reset it (so that the songs and my factory settings will be erased) by pressing menu and select at the same time. then after i did this the "do not disconnect" message kept on showing up and eventually it just stayed there. so i tried resetting again. the apple logo shows up but after a while the folder icon with exclamation point shows up. then it would turn off.
    I tried restoring it with updater but it says it could not mount the ipod. so this might be a hard drive problem already. how can i solve this?
    please help!

    Try calling their toll free number <probably charges apply when you're calling outside the US>, 1-800-827-0685.
    Usually, they will send your machine to the nearest repair station. I think in SEAsia, repair stations are in Malaysia.
    Your iPod comes with a universal warranty, so you could definitely have that repaired even without the receipt. <Im from the Philippines too. I what you mean...>
    good luck!=D

  • Folder icon with exclamation point...and updater problems

    So here's what has happened to me today:
    I plugged my iPod into my computer(this is a computer WITHOUT iPod installed yet) to charge. In the meantime, I downloaded the latest iPod updater and iTunes. The first time I used the updater, it told me that there was an iPod service error. I followed some instructions on the apple support site..and The next time I tried, it told me that one or more applications were using the iPod. I knew this wasn't the case, because the only application open was the updater, and no antivirus software was currently running. So I took my iPod back to my laptop computer(DOES have iPod installed) and it also told me that one or more applications were using the iPod, even though there were no applications open.
    So now I have a little folder with an exclamation point that tells me to go to the apple support site, which I have been to numerous times...I can put my iPod into disk mode which really doesn't help anyways...

    Then
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.

    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“Partition Magic”.
    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level

  • Windows Folder icon instead of Officejet 6500a Plus E710n icon in Devices and Printers

    Can anyone help me to get the OfficeJet 6500a Plus e710n printer icon to display properly in Devices and Printers?
    I recently reinstalled Windows 8.1.  However, when I installed my printer, instead of the printer icon appearing in Devices and Printers I get a generic yellow Windows folder icon.  The Fax icon is OK, just the printer icon is wrong.
    If I double click on the icon, I get a mostly blank page with a message near the top saying: "Updated information is available about your device.  Click here to download or learn more."  If I click on the notice, a dropdown menu appears with "Download updated information" or "Learn more".  If I choose downloaded update information, a new printer window appears which is mostly blank except for a message at the centre of the window which says, "No tasks are available on this page"  The Learn more option just gives me info about updating drivers.
    The printer icon on the Start menu is fine.
    I've used HP Print and Scan Doctor to uninstall and reinstall my printer but this hasn't helped.  The program found a problem with the printer driver and fixed it, but that hasn't changed the icon either.
    I am running Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit fully up to date, and used the latest full version of the HP installation program for the printer (not the basic version) and HP Print and Scan Doctor v4.6.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Try following these steps and let me know if that may help:
    From the control Panel select Network and internet and open the Network and Sharing Center.
    Click on Change Advanced Sharing Center.
    Ensure that Network Discovery is trned on but uncheck the box next to "Turn on automatic setup of network connected devices".
    From devices and printer right click the printer and select Remove Device, repeat the for the Fax icon.
    Note: if no such option exists for the printer follow the next steps.
    Right click the background area and select Device Mahager.
    Remove any instance of the printer from Imaging Devices, Printers, Print Queues, Multifunction Adaptors, Other Devices (if a such exists).
    Once you are done the printer should no longer appear under Devices and Printers...
    Open teh HP Officejet 6500 E710 software, select Connect a new Printer and check for any differnce.
    Hope that helps,

  • 2nd Generation Touch Wheel iPod - iPod displays a folder icon with a ! mark

    Hi,
    My girlfriend has been using my old 2nd generation touch wheel iPod, and yesterday she was trying to listen to some music, and the iPod would load the name of the song, artist, album etc, and then skip to the next song without playing any music, and would keep skipping to the next song over and over and over.
    My girlfriend showed me this with an album that she had recently just added to the iPod, from a CD that she purchased and ripped to mp3's using iTunes, so initially I thought maybe it was just a problem that occurred when the CD was being ripped, so some corrupt mp3's or something. However we tried a range of other songs on the iPod and the same problem occurred.
    So I figured something must have gone array with the firmware on the iPod, and thought maybe the problem might be solved by resetting the iPod, which I did by holding down the menu and play / pause button until the iPod reset.
    When the iPod reset, the apple logo came up on screen and interchanged between the apple logo and the folder with a ! mark icon. When I connected the iPod to the computer, iTunes wouldn't find it, and the screen on the iPod said it was in disk mode.
    Listening to the iPod I could hear the disk spinning, and then make a click sound, and then repeat, and it is not possible to turn it off.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what has caused the problem, and more importantly how it can be fixed?

    I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
    Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
    Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

    Hello,
    If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
    Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
    A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
    Intermediate Level
    A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
    B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    For Window computer
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

    C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
    Tips
    a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
    b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
    c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

    Advance Level
    A. Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    B. Format your iPod with a start disk
    I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
    If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
    Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
    In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
    http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
    Just in case that you are at the following situation
    Your iPod warranty is expired
    You don’t want to pay any service charges
    You are prepared to buy a new one
    You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
    Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
    You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
    Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
    Last Resort Level
    1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
    In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

    2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
    Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.
    2. Do a search on Google and some topics on this discussion forum about “Sad iPod”
