Hello bull40,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your iPod is showing a red "X" icon and has a URL for our iPod support page. Take a look at the article below for information on how to resolve this issue.
Resolution
Restore iPod from Disk Mode
- Disconnect iPod from your computer.
- Manually put iPod into Disk Mode.
- Open the latest version of iTunes and connect iPod.
- Restore iPod.
Setup Service for iPod
If you cannot force your iPod into disk mode and restore it, then your iPod may need service. Click one of the links below to setup an iPod Service Request online or make a reservation at the Genius Bar before visiting your local Apple Retail Store.
