Angry Ipod Help !

Heya there ... if anyone could fix my ipod, i would be in your det FOREVER ! lol

I have tried EVERYTHING to fix it now and NOTHING. Plug it into charge ... NOTHING. Reset it ... a whiring noise kinda like a hardrive loading up, occurs and that's it, then a folder with an exclamation mark next to it comes up. And then turns back off In Intunes it doesn't show up either ... I have lost over 115pounds worth of albums on my ipod/itunes. It doesn't come up in my library. I can only see it in my purchase history.

Really REALLY cheesed off !!! Thinking of buying another one if this one can't be fixed.

PLEASE see if you can help ! You wouldn't know how much i would appreciate it !!!

can you access it from your pc? you may be able to get someone like disklabs to recover the data, or apple may allow you to download the music again if you have proof of purchase

dont get another one get a Creative Zen they are so much better although im not sure whether the music on your ipod will work on it

Nah i can't. What's DISKLABS ?!?! I am trying to get my mum to take me to London to the Apple shop there, maybe at the weekend hopefully.

I don't really like Creative Zens. If i HAVE to i might though. But i am looking at buying a 20GB Ipod from Ebay for 130pounds considering i bought my MINI Ipod for 200pounds !!! lol

Is DISKLABS a shop or something ?! lol

i dont know but it says they do micro drives here http://www.disklabs.com/microdrive-recovery.asp

so you may be in luck but its probably expensive ask for a quote

i know alot of people at school are having trouble with their ipods its mainly problems with buttons, screens, head phone connectors etc, google "ipod problems" and you'll find loads of people having problems
