Urgent iPod Trouble! Is my Brother-like iPod Shuffle going to be lost forever????

I recommend first BACKING UP your files so you won't loose everything. Here's how to copy them onto your computer:

1.) Open "My Computer" the iPod should be automatically detected as a portable hard drive. Click on the iPod icon.

2.) If you don’t see a folder called “iPod Control”, it’s hidden and invisible. To unhide, go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View, and then check (enable) the option “Show hidden files and folders.”

3.) Open the “iPod Control” folder, and then the Music folder.

The Music folder contains the iPod’s music and videos, divided into folders. Copy the library to local computer hard drive’s My Music folder (or the folder you want to save the files in on the computer hard drive).

Once you have synced your ipod (choose the "restore" option you were talking about that will erase all the songs, but now they are backed up so should be OK) your ipod should be fixed and you can put the songs back on:

1.) The files copied have unintelligible four-letter file names. To reveal the names of the songs and other data tags, add the files to the Windows Media Player or iTunes libraries or switch to “Tiles” view in Windows Explorer.

2.) Drag saved songs from library to Ipod

IF IT STILL WON'T SYNC: You can contact Best Buy, they have live help online (would try that first and if they can't tell you how to fix, ask how much it would be to drop off at the store to fix)

Most of the time, especially with the shuffle, it is cheaper to just buy a new one. They usually only have a 1 year warranty unless you upgraded when you bought it!

my brother has also an i-pod suffle he also broke it so he went to the shop from where he bought it and then the shopkeeper send him to a shop from where it was exchange so if its grantee so u should go and exchange it or go to a repair shop and get it repaired from a repairing shop

Take it to repair center.

try to restore it again, if nothing happens take it to somewhere to have it fixed.....
