Q: my ipod wont start or sync

Hi

This forum is for XServes and Servers so your question is not really appropriate. You'd stand more chance of a response if you posted in the correct forum:

https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod

The main page for all the forums is here:

Consult this carefully before deciding which forum is most appropriate for your question.

Look on the back of your iPod and you'll see it written there. It is quite small but it will be there:

HTH?
