One thing I'm confused about and that is when I'm supposed to press the play/pause+select buttons? As for the apple store. I do in fact have one or 2 in Austin , Tx. I really don't want to have to take this issue to them though.

Do you have the nano? YOu can put it into a restore mode by doing the following. Without sighted assistance this may be a bit of a challenge. 1. Hold the select (center of the wheel) and the menu (top of the wheel) down together for about 10 seconds. Release and hold again if the iPod does nothing. You should hear a pop in your headphones, or the music your playing should suddenly cut off. While I'm writing this, that may be the best way to do it, play something so you know when you have a successful reboot. 2. Immediately release your command and press instead select and play/pause together. If you're successful, the resotre screen will show up. In your case, the best way to know if you've got it right is to wait and see after about two minutes if running your finger around the click wheel makes clicks. If it does, you need to start over again, it booted and missed the opportunity to get into restore mode. 3. Once in restore mode, connect your iPod to your computer. Now, your iPod should show up as normal. Restore it from the settings pane. If not, it for sure will show up in Disk Utility where a restore can be performed after formatting the internal disk. You didn't answer one of my questions, got an Apple Store near where you live? If you're not sure, visit http://www.apple.com/retail and run through the store listings. There is a quick pop-up where you choose your state and then choose a store. I don't know where you live, but I'm assuming the United States. If not, there is a full store listing that includes world wide locations as well.

How would I go about getting my iPod to show up in disc utilities in order to perform a reformat? I'm guessing that when you performed a reformat, everything worked out ok? Did you just do a quick erase, or did you zero out the drive?

Try that out. Also, you could reformat the iPod which will force it into recovery mode and really force a restore. I've done that one once, but it was a last resort thought right before running out to get a new one. Also, Genius bar could probably help if you bring the computer and the iPod. Got a Genius bar newar you?

The thought was a great one since I'd just purchased some new music that I wanted to take with me to New York. Everything was great until I plugged the device in to my Mac. It took a second and then I got a message that told me that my iPod was corrupted and that I could either try reconnecting the device, or try restoring it. I of course tried ejecting the device and reconnecting with no result. My next choice was to restore the device, however, I can't seem to see the area for the iPod settings in order to perform the restore. Any ideas would really be appreciated. I really don't want to purchase another iPod just quite yet.
