I need major ipod help...?

Question

Ok, today I tried to plug in my iPod like normal into my Windows XP computer to add more songs to it. Well, iTunes didn't start like it normally would. Then it eventually got to the point where nothing seemed to be starting so I tried to stop the USB device so that I could disconnect my iPod. That didn't work, so I had to turn off my computer. Now, my iPod has been staying on the 'do not disconnect' screen. I waited and waited and left it here all day but it was still on that screen, so eventually I had to manually disconnect it from the USB cord, hoping I wouldn't lose all my music. Well, it is STILL on that screen. I tried to do the things you can do to restart your iPod, like holding menu down, or holding menu and the play button down at the same time. Neither are working. So, I tried to plug back in my iPod, and this time not only won't my iPod show up on the computer, but neither will the USB device! *Story continues below...*

As long as the files are on your computer, you should be able to plug in a new iPod and transfer the songs if nothing works

Answer 3

Reset your ipod by holding down the menu and middle click button (for video, nano, and mini ipods).

Answer 4

Ok, you need to restart your iPod. (I also need your iPod generation) Try that website, since I don't know your iPod gen. (Try the center button + menu button to restart. Hold for a few secs.)
