I actually want to cry. I'm so frustrated with this stupid machine!
My ipod hasnt been played for about a month, but its been in my room and whatnot, so its not like its been exposed to rain or cold or whatnot... I started to play it tonight, and it froze when I went to skip tracks...I went to the apple website, which told me how to reset it, but it didnt work...then I followed all the other instructions, but all I've been able to gather so far is tht my ipod is not detected on my computer or itunes...I ran the diagnostics thing on Itunes, but it cant find my ipod - its still stuck on the frozen screen, and wont do anything - can anyone help?
PS - Apple website is rubbish!

I hate technology, I'm your typical stereotype!
what other devices have you got plugged into your usb ports? have you installed new any new software since last docking your ipid to your pc?
does itunes load up when you plug your ipod in?
i'd make a post on the apple support forums & wait for a reply there if it were me
Hold the Menu and the center button at the same time for about 10 seconds then see if it works.
Sorry, thats my fault. I meant Itunes doesnt load when I plug the ipod in!
Heres where I'm gonna sound really stupid! How do I uninstall Itunes? I went to my start menu and it doesnt list that as an option like it normally does, then I opened itunes itself to see if it was under any menus, but its not, and I searched the help, and its not there! I've got an ipod updater, but it says it no longer works and I should use itunes instead!
Also, this morning when I looked at it, it had gone off, and if I press menu and select together, the apple sign comes up, and then goes off a bit later. If I press select and play together, I get different things...first a battery with an exclamation mark, then a sad ipod, then 'OK to disconnect', and now it seems to be a folder with an exclamation mark again - I've now got it plugged in to my computer, and its showing a battery with a lightning bolt, but its not actually charging!
Now I'm REALLY annoyed.
But not as annoyed as I shall be if it doesnt work after all this!
