I just found my Firewire cable and connected my iPod to a power source... I cannot connect my iPod to my laptop since I lost my USB cable... The ipod has about 3 band discographies worth of music... Social Distortion, Muse, and From Autumn to Ashes, but when I play them... They take forever to load up and also only play about 3 seconds of the song and goes to the next... It is pretty frustrating... And if this would help get a solid answer, my ipod is about 2-3 years old, it is a 4G 20 gig b/w and was bought when it was one of the newer models. Please give me an answer that does not include the hard drive being dead... If that is the case, I am tossing apple into the trash where they belong, this ipod has never been dropped, banged around, tossed around or anything that would damage it... and I will be ticked beyond belief if there is no other solution...

My Ipod is a 4th gen 20 gig, and I cannot load music onto it. It goes through the motions and "loads" up to five songs, and then gives me an error, the error code is always different, so I don't know what it could be. It also does not hold a charge, so could the whole problem be that the battery is dead? The ipod itself is pretty old, I think I got it about 2 years ago, when they were the newest ones out.
