just plugged my i-pod in to re-sync some songs I've recently put on i-tunes , but now it says windows doesn't recognise my i-pod , to keep tryign again or un-instal / re-stal , when I checked my ipod all my songs have been wiped off , but all my pictures are still on there ...
anyone ?

Sounds bad. Tried rebooting the iPod first? Depends on the model but usually hold the centre button and play for a few seconds

I've been running my defraggler with ipod still connected and seems to have worked ..

had a problem like that a while ago with an ipod classic turns out it was a hard drive fault took it into apple and got a new one for about £90
