I've researched but can't solve the problem with a 5 gig iPod/mac osx.2:
I can't get it to mount in iTunes or the desktop.

When I reset I get the apple logo then either a low battery icon or exclamation pt with folder.

Doesn't seem to charge
Doesn't seem to drain.

I can't restore or update because I can't mount it on the computer.

Any help out there?

Thanks,
Pat
