What OS version/iPod firmware version/iTunes version are you running?
I've got a 40Gb iPod running firmware 4.1 on a 10.2.8 iBook 700 running
iTunes 4.1 (ie, the latest of everything :-), and I'm having all sorts
of problems with my iPod all of a sudden.

Last night, even though the iPod was connected and iTunes could see the
it, I couldn't select and drag new songs onto the iPod. I rebooted and
it was all fine. But this morning when I went to play some music, the
iPod claimed it had no songs on it! I plugged the bugger in to the iBook
when I got home, and of course all the data was there. But now when I
plug it in again, it won't even mount on the Finder!

If anyone suggests "back up the songs on your iPod and restore it with
the firmware updater" I'll slap them, as I have a 40Gb iPod and a half-full
20Gb drive on my iBook :-).

After having to delete-and-restore to get 10.2.8 running, I must say I'm
not terribly impressed with Apple's latest crop of updates...

Cheers, Robert.
