Problem with my iPod! I need help!!!

[Lui-Slamo]

Well, I have a big problem with my iPod right now.

Let me start off with what kind of iPod I have. It's a really old iPod. A 2007 iPod, and It has 80GB. I lost it like 2 years ago, and barely found it 8 months ago, so I don't have the papers or anything of the iPod. I only have the iPod.

I had like 168 songs on my iPod and 3 games. That's it. My friend put the songs on my iPod. I have no idea how tought.

The Problem: I was listening to my iPod and I guess I didn't have it on hold (I hold it because it saves power) because the song I was listening to stopped. I took out my iPod from my jean pocket and I saw the iPod Logo (The Apple) This has never happened to me before. I kept pressing the pause menu, pretty much the whole buttons, but nothing happened, the picture just stood there. I ignored it and put it back on my pocket. Later on I took it out and went to the songs an nothing was there.No songs. My whole music was deleted. I went to the memory and found that I had no more memory left. I still had my games though. I cheked what was filling my iPod and it was the "other" category. I have no idea what "other" is, but it's filling up my iPod.

I have no idea what happened. Did I reset my settings? I really need your help. Has this happened to you before? If so, how can I fix it? Can I restore all of my songs? I would REALLY appreciate your help and suggestions. Thanks for your patience

I wish I were knowledgeable enough to help you, but it sounds like someone hacked your Ipod. If no one here answers (maybe none of the right people are online.. usually a few do answer), try going somewhere like Staples. I think (?) they can help you for a fee.

If you take it to the apple store ..the geniuses will assist u...

Do you not have the songs stored on your itunes?

I suggest you try and do a complete reinstallation of the system and it might be restored so you can use it again. Or just take it down to the local apple store.

Have you tried dropping it on the floor?

natty- No, I havent. Good Suggestion thought

nagerous- No, as I said, my friend put the songs on my iPod. I think he used iTunes, but im not sure. And I can't tell him to put the songs in again because 1- My WHOLE memory is gone and 2- He left. He only came to visit for like 3 weeks.


I might take it to the Apple Store. Thanks for all of your help people
