iPod problem

Okay, so I grabbed my iPod to sync it because I had gotten some new music. I had listened to it just a few minutes before and it was fine, just for reference. Anyways, I plug it into my computer, and it says that my iPod has been corrupted and that a reset would be in order. A minor inconvenience, but no big deal; it reset itself and I thought nothing of it. However, upon the menu opening on my iPod I've found an unsettling development - it says my memory is completely used up, with 0 space left over. I have not yet synced any songs on it, so all space is taken up by what is "other files". Has anyone had this problem? I have no idea how to fix it and I've tried hooking it up again multiple times to no avail.

please no smartass ipod comments, just workarounds

i had a similar problem to this, except i just unplugged the ipod and plugged it back in instead of resetting it. it's happened twice, but i haven't lost any data or anything.

anyway, have you checked to see if all the files are still there via the folder in My Computer?

all of my music is still there in the computer and everything (i'm on a mac, btw), but for some reason it says that 111 gigs are taken up by "Other" on the iPod, but there are no songs. :/

hm. what about on the ipod? can you get to the music there (assuming is says that everything is "other" on the computer)?

never mind, mangski; i plugged it in one more time to try it out and it told me to try and repair the disk partitions; when that didn't work i just erased the partition and restarted my ipod and it's working now. thanks for caring though : -D

Yeah, I had this problem, I had to like, format it in 3 different ways to work, and the normal right click>format method didn't work. God damn Apple products being so complicated all the time, they never work.

edit: Oh, you solved it, congrats!

Problem solved, thread locked.
