hi everybody. hopefully how i describe my situation helps you guys resolve my problem (if possible). sorry it's long, but help is appreciated.
well anyways, like last month or so i did something bad. i had to leave class but my ipod was plugged in to a school computer, and i tried safely ejecting it and it wouldn't eject. well i unplugged it unsafely and i had that "not safely ejected" warning on the screen. my 4g 40 gb ipod had the apple logo... stuck on its screen. i reset the ipod and when it loaded, all of my songs and playlists were gone. but when i went to "about" it had about 13 gb's being used, and this 13 gb's was my music/files i had on my ipod, meaning the files were still there. i ended up losing both my firewire and usb cables at school so i didn't do anything about fixing my ipod till last week when i bought a usb cable. i plugged my ipod in to the computer, the ipod loaded on the computer screen, and i restored the software on it. did the load itunes and rename ipod thing, then i tried uploading songs. after 5 songs uploaded, itunes froze. when i force quit itunes, itunes was still open. i guess this was because itunes would load when my ipod was connected. so i tried ejecting my ipod safely. wouldn't eject and lagged my computer with the color wheel spinning forever. then i tried disk utility and that lagged my computer like crazy, and still didn't eject my ipod. then i relaunched finder (still leaving the ipod connected) and i ended up not having that... bar on the top with file and edit and stuff. but i could still access force quit, and itunes was still open. once i eject my ipod, things go back to normal. so i have no idea what is wrong with my ipod. the ipod screen is frozen while it's connected. the do not disconnect circle isn't blinking. it's so... screwed up. help please?
