iPod classic freakout

Apr 8, 2010 2:54AM PDT

Hi there,

there is nothing worse than having your most beloved gadget with all well filed and categorised music, movies, etc... just go poof.

This is what happened to me this morning. As I begin my horrible job at 6 this morning my iPod lost all its data. The night before my iPod was acting weird. When I chose a track to play it would stall for a while and then play a track further down the list.

It did the same thing this morning the same thing happened. I tried to reset it a few times. After the Apple logo disappeared, I chose English and found out that all my content was missing.

Now I am trying to re-sync the device with my iTunes library but that's not working either. The program just stalls and the iPod keeps displaying that it's 'Connecting'.

If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it.

Cheers!
