Approx. 3 Weeks ago I was walking to someone's house from school and it was tipping it down with rain. I had my iPod in my bag, and I thought it would be OK. When I got to it it wasa really quite wet and was dead to the world. Naturally I tried turning it on and plugging it into the comp but to no avail.
I left it in my back room for 2 weeks or so and then voila! It turns on and everything, plays everything and is fine. A little slow loading album art etc. and occassionally the menu freezes for a short while but its better than a broken iPod.
The only problem now is connecting the iPod to the computer. Although it shows the CONNECTED message on the screen (new iPod Classic 80GB here) I cannot get it to work with iTunes. Infact, I cannot load iTunes when the iPod is connected, it simply shows me the eggtimer and then ceases to load.
Occassionally it appears as an icon on my my computer, drive G. When i double click it telles me the disk is not formatted and not I should format it. I click NO to this.
What can I do about this? I really need to add new music to my iPod etc. I have lots of new music to put on since it has broken.. .Is there anyway I can format the iPod and start a fresh, I didn't think windows's solution of formatting the iPod was a very attractive one, I thought that would break it.
So yes any suggestions about how I can get my seemingly fairly functional iPod to connect with my PC so I can add new tuness?
Thanks a lot for any input
