Well, you should still try it out on another computer before saying it's broken. There's always the chance there's something wrong with the computer...

Hm, dunno if it'll help or not, but I found this article on Apple's website:

I already said I did, still didn't work.

Thanks, checking this out now.

I tried all of those and it still didn't work. Some of the stuff didn't even apply to Vista, either, so it wouldn't work.

Ok, since no one seems to be giving any suggestions, I'm trying the five Rs. I've done 1 and 2 so far.

None of them work! I guess I'll send it in to Apple.

*BUMP*
Any more suggestions is suggested, Apple wouldn't accept my iPod. I'm saving to get the Classic 5G.

Whaaaaat? Why the hell wouldn't they accept it? It's not modded in any way, so WTF?

That is so typical of apple. They deliberately design their stuff to be incompatible and now they won't even help out when it stops working. iTunes is generally just a pain to work with, mine stopped recognising my ipod for a while, but fortunately cleared up after a couple of resets.

Good luck, although it doesn't look like there is much you can do.
