Today when i tried to use my ipod, i started to play a song and the ipod froze. i reset it, and when it turned back on it was in disc mode. when i try to plug it into my computer, it is only recognized by windows and not by itunes so i cant restore anything. it says connect to itunes to restore ipod every once in a while, but this obviously isnt working. when its plugged into my computer, it just says do not disconnect the whole time. what am i supposed to do? my ipod is a video with 80 gb memory.

Same exact thing just started happening with my ipod like 2 days ago. Ive tried everything!!! I took very good care of it. Ive had it for about 5 months or so. I had a rubber casing on it which minimized any shock from bumping around. It worked perfectly the night before. I woke up to go out for a walk and thought i left it on cause it looked like i needed to just charge it. But then when i plugged it in i got that error message to restore with itunes. Windows reconizes it but wont format it. Itunes wont recognize it at all. When i plug it in to the usb it starts to charge, and a window pops up sayin intunes needs to format this drive. would you like to open itunes to do this. I say yes, itunes pops up, and nothing. There is no ipod in itunes. ??????????????

You may need to change the drive letter of the ipod before it is recognized by itunes.
