	My first generation 5 gb iPod won't mount in iTunes or the desk top - just shows the iPod icon with a CD icon on it and a ? mark. Using iBook 14" with iTunes 4.2. Previously no issues. Have reinstalled iTune and tried to reinstall iPod software 1.3.1 again but as the unit won't mount can't get success. Firewire port and the firewire cable were checked with another peripheral and these are both working. Tried reseting the iPod but the all the songs in the ipod disappeared. Any IDeas welcome. (Note someone mentioned I should post in peripherals, I couldnt deleat from the other posting)
	Thank you CHeers Steven
