Everything GONE!!!!! ipod touch media shown as 'other' ?!!??!

Hi linda_wat834
When the Apple Logo is stuck
If this happens, put the iPod into Disk Mode through the diagnostic menu. Then connect the iPod to your computer and update or restore the iPod.
Sometimes you can get away with just updating the iPod, so try that first, but usually you have to restore the iPod .
As always make backups of your music files, because the restore procedure will eliminate them.

I had the same problem with my iPod touch 3rd Generation, the slide bar will not slide to unlock. I could however use the slide to power off at the top of the screen. I tried everything from rebooting it to a full restore and nothing worked. I finally took the Touch Screen Glass Digitizer off and the ribbon cable that connects to the board had come loose. I pluged it back in and everything worked again.

to update your ipod touch second gen to 4.1 version you must connect to your itunes account on your computer with ipod attatched sync all apps, music, videos, everything because it will delete everything and needs everything backed up. then go to your ipod on itunes and it will say update, click it it will take around half an hour to update and restore you ipod fully. This worked for my ipod touch gen 2, it kept saying when i tried to update i still have things on my ipod not synced to itunes when i have synced multiple times but it updated ok and i do not notice anything missing. this is all i know about this i hope it helps.

ok this happened to me before. this is what you do.
1. plug ipod into another computer (possibley a freinds)
2. download the latest ipod software
3. set up as new ipod (your ipod should work like the very first time you used it)
4. plug back into your computer and sync with your itunes
5. ipod should be back to normal

good luck. leave a comment if this does not work please

I would preform a restore via iTunes. That should reset everything. Then resync to get your music back onto your iPod.

connect your ipod touch to the computer via the USB cable and open itunes. This usually happens when you erase everything or you get a new ipod touch.

your ipod seems to be having problem like damaged system software. you can reinstall your ipod software but will erase anything on your ipod, don't worry you can sync them again. here's how to do it.
make sure itunes is open and connected to the internet.

Hold down your ipod power button, then hold down the home button too, this will force the ipod to restart and in restore mode.
the screen will go dark and restart, now release the POWER BUTTON while still holding down the HOME BUTTON.
It will show an itunes icon and a USB icon saying connect to itunes.
NOTE: you might have to do this procedure many times in order to show the itunes and usb icon.

Now release the HOME BUTTON and connect to itunes, it will erase your ipod and download software from apple to install on your ipod.
this might take some time, wait for it to complete the task and now you are ready to use your ipod again.
Please rate. Thank you

what were you doing before it happened?

ur probably on sistems. try going to another folder

Talked to both Apple and Logitech, and uploaded newest firmware ( had assumed since this was a recent purchase it had same), presto, it works.
