Samwise: still not functional, though (some) progress has been made. Woe is me, my iPod has fallen ill. WOE!

I used the iPod Updater to restore it, and that seems to have worked as far as the iPod itself is concerned; no more exclamation mark folder, and it looks find as far as I can tell otherwise, except of course for the fact that it's empty. And that I can't re-upload my songs, becausemy computer (fucking elf!) won't recognise it, either in iTunes or as an external disk, and the Updater, which took ages to actually recognise the damned thing the first time, now just hangs on it as well. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both iTunes and the Updater, because when I ran Scandisk, it said there was something wrong with some files in a folder called iPod_controls, but I didn't have time to retry it this morning, so I don't know if that's worked or not, bu I have a bad feeling about it.

Anyone else have any ideas, short of sending my wee baby away to be fixed?

I think John was saying he might know what to do -- I'll have him comment when he gets home.

It could be hard drive death. That folder is where all the iPod stuff is kept on an iPod.

Will write more when not using a tiny, tiny keyboard.

NooooOOOooo! *clings to iPod* (And I don't think I'm under warranty anymore, either, it's been more than a year. Fuck!)

I'll check into stuff relating to restoring iPods that've forgotten they're iPods. You might want to try a decent disk recovery tool on it in the meantime, and once I've tracked down what's needed a reformat might fix it.

But if it's hardware failure, then it's just going to be a matter of time at best. :o/

This happened to mine and I had to take it in - IIRC, they replaced the whole hard drive. (Thank goodness I bought the extended warranty.)

[wibbble]

I've seen reports of similar situations being fixed by various abuses of the iPod - I emailed Melle a couple of (hopefully) useful links.

I want your dreams, dammit.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

[jaseroque.livejournal.com]

But fem--. Wait. Jayne/Cable? You've THOUGHT THIS THROUGH, haven't you?

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Yes, femslash. Jubilee/Kaylee, mmm. Also, Simon trying to hit on Jubilee and Kaylee hitting on Jean-Paul, because even my subconcious is sarcastic about thye whole Simon/Kaylee thing. (And Bobby bonding with Wash, I think. Not too clear on that anymore.)

*eyedarts* What? What? It's not my fault, I swear, I was just-- ... You know what, I'm not even going to ,em>try to explain how that occured to me, but the bunny has been gnawing on my cortex since yesterday. (It tickles!)

[jaseroque.livejournal.com]

Jubilee/Kaylee. And you want to trade in this dream? You are nuts, yo.

... as, in fact, is proven by your second point. NUTS. I will not say that I can totally see the dynamic. BECOZ I CAN'T. Siriusly. Can't. *covers eyes*

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Okay, point. I'll share? :D

They would totally bond over their love of Big Fucking Guns! (It helps that in my head, this is teen!Nate. So much hotness.)

Did you get my email? Possibly not, if you've got a huge backlog. Where do you stand on MM? I know it's not a question you want to answer now, but we've got people waiting for their stories still, now two weeks after the site was supposed to be live.

I'm going to lean on the two pinch hitters remaining, and possibly reassign one of them, but we're going to need your story! If you're overwhelmed with everything else, I can post the stories in the LJ community, but we need to get these up as soon as possible.
