hi guys!

my ipod is now showing the sad ipod icon, ive tried resetting it and forcing disk mode and it wont do any of it, so im presuming hard drive failure!!

anyway when i buy my new one will it just upload all my purchased music? or will it erase it? or do i need to do anything special to it to stop my files being deleted?

many thanks
simon.

have you tried doing a restore in itunes?

as for new ipod what ever is in itunes library will transfer to new ipod inc purchases

is the ipod still under 1 year (or 3 year if you bought applecare) warranty? if so contact apple for a replacement

Try there for various ways to reset it, hopefully one of them will help you.

thanks all!

i hit my ipod on the desk hard and it now works again, the hard disk spins up and doesnt make a dodgy clicking noise at all!

dont spose it'll last though so may just buy another!
