    Hey everyone I have an Ipod classic 5th gen (i think) 160gb i got it in November. Recently it stopped playing certain songs in its library. Then last week it froze so i reset it and it lost all its songs. not a problem i thought so i plugged it into my laptop but it wouldnt recognize it properly. It said it needed to be reformated so i tried that but it said it couldnt be reformatted. I ran a diagnostics on it and it said there was no problems. But now i cant even get into the ipod it just stop at the apple sign on the start up. It wont let me diagnose it either.

    Any suggestions?

    Have you tried rebooting it into disc mode and resetting the iPod to factory settings?

    Found a guide on the web. Its different for different models of the classic, where the clips are on the case etc. I think the one I did was a 4g U2 model.
