I have an iPod (2nd generation). I was a very happy user for about 6 months.. I recently formated the iPod with disk utility to HFS+Journaled. It couldn't read the songs although iTunes could upload them and OS X could see them clearly.. I guess it can't read the journaled hfs+..
I did a restore on the mac with the mac version of the firmware so it was ok again.. later the same week I restored the firmware with the pc version of the firmware.... so I had fat32 on the filesystem...
all went fine for about a week... after a complete battery depletion I tried to mount the iPod again.. when I plug in the firewire cable the firmware reboots and the iPod recharges but it won't show on osx, iTunes AND Disk Utility.. any help?..
can this be fixed or must I go to an apple service center? is the iPod's warranty international?
thnx

Why did you do that in the first place?

you didn't have to format with Disk Utility before restoring your ipod unless you are trying to cover up something and had to zero the disk.
I am having some problems with my iPod to about this effect.
Have you reset the iPod?

Have you tried to wipe it?

The last one will wipe your drive and then you need to open disk Utility and then do a restore.
or like me you might have a hardware problem (what I am guessing is wrong with my ipod) but I think it is just because you messed with the drive.

hmm.. I have done several resets and still nothing..
the thing is that when I plug the firewire cable on the iPod after I do a reset and then press forward and backward buttons the message doesn't say do not disconnect but "ok to disconnect"...
any clues?

when the problem of not showing up in the finder/itunes started, did it say ok to disconnect or did it just show the Apple logo?

Firewire comes in.
Doing a reset on the iPod
after the Apple Logo I press forward and backward at the same time. after a small pause the ok to disconnect appears
the correct should be do not disconnect...
