iPOD big problem
I have a friend that has an iPOD Photo (60GB) and it seems that it doesn't see the music and the data anymore. I was only able to see the contacts a minute ago, but now not even those are available anymore.
I mean that the iPOD seem to work ok (the software runs fine) but it doesn't display the data on it, it acts as if it would be empty with no music or pictures or podcasts on it.
When I connect the iPOD to my powerbook it displays the music (the powerbook displays it, not the iPOD).
What can I do?
Thank you

Anyway, your friend's iPod sounds like it needs to be reset. Follow the instructions for resetting found in his box. If that doesn't work, restore the firmware by running the iPod updater.
Does this "reset" means that he will lose all the music on it?
Is there a solution through wich the music will not be lost?

How do you mean "link it" ?
If you need to "make a backkup" of the music before the reset, there are several third party products for moving music from an ipod to your computer.
Here is the Apple support page for the ipod.
