I should have mentioned itunes is installed. I reformatted the Ipod because before it wouldnt work either.

Now when I plug it in it beapes a few times then on the screen just a Battery with a "!" mark is on the screen. Does this mean the battery is shot?

I did that. I then plugged it in and it just says do not disconnect on the screen. I then ejected it and the screen never changed although I still unplugged it since in Itunes it says its ok to remove.

What else could it be? Is this thing junk now? I need to get this fixed so I can sell it, I have a Zune on its way.

Ok I fixed it. I just had to update Itunes then I was able to update the Ipod to the latest version. It was on the old version because I reformatted it since Im selling it.

I cant wait for my Zune to get here.
