I have a video Ipod.
I just turned it on and it says I have no songs or videos on it.
I hooked it up to the computer and connected to itunes. It also says it is empty... However, it says I have 13gb of stuff on it.
So it knows I have stuff on it, but it doesn't show up and i can't play it.
what is wrong and how do i fix it?

I hope I can get these songs and videos back b/c i deleted them off my computer b/c of space.

have you tried using something other than itunes? say winamp. because itunes is shite on windows.

look, itunes worked fine for the last 3 years. suddenly, none of my songs or videos show up on my ipod or itunes. i know they are still there b/c i see them in hidden files and folders on windows explorer.

welcome to ipod ownership...itunes on windows sucks donkey balls...count yourself lucky that it lasted as long as it did

^^ look, i was just trying to be helpful (as i have solved numerous problems with various models of ipods). but if you don't wanna hear it, best of luck.

i fixed it. i just went to hidden files and folders and copied them all to itunes..then put them back on the ipod.

now i have double my space taken up, but oh well.

You didn't fix the problem you covered it up.

You should probably mount the ipod as a drive and go to My Computer and do a drive check thing.
