So, we're doing a kind of project in school, and I have all my files stored on my 2gb iPod nano. Dumb of me, I haven't made a back-up.

So this morning, when I was going to listen to some newly put-in music, the iPod froze. I couldn't shut it down or anything. But I thought no problem, I just plug it in a computer and it will be fine.
But nope. I've tried pluggin it in to 3 different computers, one with iTunes installed, but it isn't working. Windows says it has found the iPod, but I cant access it. No drive on My Computer, nothing it iTunes. The screen on the iPod is still the same, no "Don't unplug" text or anything.

I haven't actually plugged it in my own computer yet, but maybe I can reset it from there. That would mean though, I lose all ny files.
So this project I'm working on, has to be done on Friday. If I lose all my work I wont have time to make everything from scratch, and I don't have time to send it in for reparation.

I can add, the iPod has been turned on since the morning, with the lights on. I guess it will continue like that until the batteries run out.
It doesn't respon to anything..

Does anyone know how to fix this? Anyone had the same problem?

Jaan

Did you try manually resetting it?

Try that (hold menu and select for ~10-20 seconds). That should fix it.

Or you can try various file recovery tools.

Hope you get this fixed.
