Can anyone help with an ipod 1450 error?? I have tried to sync my family's 3 different ipods like I always do. They all three generated that error, and erased everything from the ipods, which now won't even turn on!!!

Nothing has changed on my computer. I have tried every single fix I could find online and on the apple boards. I refuse to accept that we now have THREE dead ipods, and think it is DISGUSTING that you have to pay apple TWENTY dollars an hour to ask them these questions. WTH???
