try checking the support section on apple.com, what annoys me though is you have to pay for phone support

have you switched computers or has your computer failed or anything or is it exactly the same, no changes?

Try re-booting the ipod. Turn the hold on then off, then hold the center button and menu simoultaniosly (sp?) untill the logo appears. Then try re-installing your software. MY ipod takes a good minute or so to connect to my computer so....

Well.....If you did anything to yours like I did to mine, then just forget the rebooting it thing....I was constantly disconnecting it when loading songs(while it said not to) , and on about the 5th time, I got frustrated when it was struggling to load a 12 minute version of "Machine Gun," off the Band of Gypsys CD. The next thing I knew, all my songs were gone, and on the "about" menu, it read....capacity: 0Gb ......:( sucks for me, and I doubt that i could get a warranty...not to mention I currently am unaware of its location as well. But good luck with yours :)

ok i quite happy now the solution i have found is to turn my ipod on then hold down action fast forward and rewind until it goes into diagnostic mode then plugginf it into my pc and selecting usb dick in the diagnostic menu then my pc recognizes it and i can resotre it in the ipod updater, im so happy i can get my music back lol. Now just need to reinstall itune to get it to recognize my ipod
