  Try switching FireWire ports. The one you're using may be bad.
  
  
  
  EDIT: Also, run Console.app before pluging in the iPod. See if you can discern any error from what the Console says.

  It's an old 5gb mac iPod that I've had for a while and has always worked fine. I'm on a powerbook so only have one firewire port. I have nothing essential on the iPod itself and so am fine with reformatting, but if I reformat in disk utility, will the software still recognize it as an iPod and not just as an external hard drive. Thanks for your help.
