Red X Display That Won't Allow Reset or Getting Into Disk Mode

It sounds like your iPod may have a hard drive that has developed bad data blocks. When the iPod tries to play a song that has been written to a bad data block, it will then skip that song and move to another song.
You can find replacement drives at sites like ebay, or by searching Google. We also have them available for sale.
Hope this helps!

My Ipod doesn't show up on Tune Tools

Hi,

Try Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.

Ipod classic won't sync with all songs / artists in my library

Have you tried right-clicking on one of the songs and choosing Get Info? I had some songs like that too and had to fill out the artist. After that it remembered the information even if I removed the song from my library and re-added it later.

Update songs in IPOD

After your iPod shows up in iTunes, highlight your iPod if it doesn't automatically come up. Then on the first tab labeled Summary, under Options click the box that says Manually manage music and videos. Then you can highlight all the songs in your library that you want to add to your iPod and drag them onto the iPod. The files already on your iPod will not be overwritten.
