Aaah my iPod is confusing me!
I connected it as usual, tried to sync it, and said there wasn't enough space available -- that I needed around 13 GBs left and I only had 9. This confused me, because I hadn't added anything large since my last sync, which was yesterday and worked perfectly.

I figured it could possibly be a glitch, so I just ejected it and tried plugging it in again. Now my iTunes freezes every time I plug it in until I eject my iPod, when it starts working perfectly again.

WHAT DO I DO??? I'm going crazy here, my iPod is my baby and I neeeed it to work, lol. PLEASE help me!!!

Edit: I FINALLY got my iPod to begin syncing earlier, but my iTunes froze in the middle so I ejected it, and the iPod froze on "Do not disconnect." I rebooted my iPod ad now it's frozen on the apple logo.

Edit again: The iPod's battery has died, so I plugged it in to the computer. I got the usual "Ipod Battery is very low" etc... and then the apple came on as if it was about to turn on & sync. However, it keeps going back to the "Please wait, very low battery," then back to the apple logo, etc. =/

Have you tried to restart your ipod.
But then again. You might lose all your music.
So always put a second copy in your pc or mac.

Hmm, try getting a new cord.  Also, it could be your USB port.  My match teacher has a SMART board, that wouldnt work on here computer because all of her USB port were messed, she had send it a computer repair place, just to get them fixed.

Ok this used to happen to me.  I searched on Google and found this discussion on the Apple site.  

"
REEEAAAD MEEEE!!!

Alright so this just happened to my iPod and I spent like two hours trying to figure it out and I finally did. It's totally simple, by the way.

It won't charge because it doesn't have enough juice to start charging [crazy as that sounds] so it just continually resets it's self. You need to have it hooked up to your computer in 'disk mode'.

 
1. Take your iPod and plug it in to your USB port.
2. Hold down the select [center button] and the play button.

That's it, It might have to update your library but you shouldn't lose all your music. It worked for me so I'm hoping it can solve all of your guys' problems too. Good luck!"

It was from someone who posted by the name of Mr. Orange.  Anyway, maybe try this?

Here is the site if you want to look at other responses.

Reset, retry, restart, reinstall, or restore

^amen. stick it to the man.

reset all of it. take your ipod to someone else's house and format the drive. then reinstall itunes and try to get your music back on it. i think there are other ipod-compatible synchronizers out there (mediamonkey, for example). goodluck! i had a similar problem with my iriver e10 and its company synchronizer, but unfortunately i'm stuck with that. fucking companies.

I seriously hate big companies. They won't offer help on thier own shitty product? Get fucked Apple.

Sounds silly, but have you tried googling the problem? There is a plethora of very helpful web pages for very specific iPod problems such as your own. I know newer iPods don't come with a charger, but if you are that desperate to save your music, you could try looking for one on eBay and charging your iPod from the wall instead of your computer, which will try to synch it and do other shit instead of just charge it.

Google hasn't come up with anything... and I definitely would if my iPod hadn't deleted everything on it when I unplugged it from iTunes that first time.

My suggest is pointing a finger.

Phone apple. Ask them. And most likely, you can send it in and they will fix it for you for free or shipping only or something.

We aren't professionals.

And I'm not sure if you've just tried resetting the iPod by itself, if you can. Or if it detects, go 'Restore' on the device.


I can't. Apple only offers phone support to those with possession of an iPod purchased within 90 days.

If you can I'd suggest going to an apple story and talk to a "genius" (cof cof) and see what they say.

I can't, there are no apple stores in Israel. =/
