My Ipod

<p>My IPOD video hasnt been working for the past two weeks or so and im starting to get worried. What happens is that I connect the Ipod to the laptop with the chord (its the same one my mom uses to connect her nano to her computer dunno if that makes a difference) and the apple lights up on the ipod and it never does anything else. It doesnt show as recognized on the computer either. Anyone have any ideas???</p>

<p>There is an Apple Rep on the Penn Thread or <a href="http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>take it to the garage and smash it to bits with a hammer.</p>

<p>or....</p>

<p>if you have a warranty just get it switched.</p>

<p>You could always eat it.</p>

Oh I had this problem with my nano.
I'm not a computer person so I'm not sure how to explain it properly. You know how the little icon thing (grey thing with a green arrow) comes on, on the bottom right corner when you plug somthing into the computer with the USB cable?</p>

<p>With my ipod, the icon stopped popping up---only for my ipod. it popped up for everything else that i connected with a usb cable. </p>

<p>And the problem was that the 'usb port was disconnected/disabled'. I dont know what a port is. But I went through the step-by-step Windows Help thingee (on windows xp) and that helped me... It shows you how to get the computer to recognise your ipod through a 'port' (?). Sorry that this is kinda vague...</p>
