[QUOTE="CryssieJade, post: 1396976, member: 145597"] Hi everyone, Now, before everyone blasts me for a topic probably already covered, please note I have been searching and reading articles for the last 3 hours about this, and I feel like I'm getting no where. So, in my frustration, and with all other avenues researched, I'm coming here for advice! - I have an iPod Classic 160GB, mid-2008. - Suddenly, it will not mount. - I have done nothing in particular to make it stop mounting. - Couple of weeks ago, I updated iTunes. I am fairly sure that I have plugged the iPod in since then with no issues (until now). - iTunes is telling me that my iPod is corrupted, and needs to be restored. But the iPod will not mount as a disk drive. - Unplugged from my iBook, the iPod works perfectly. All Music and Videos are intact. Even my data files are still on my iPod, somewhere. I just can't access them from my computer! - I tried resetting the iPod, putting it into Disk Mode, and running a Disk Scan. Still won't mount as a disk drive. I want it to mount so that I can back up files I put on there last week! - During Disk Scan, I got to testing the SDRAM part. At the 'Background (backlight?) test' part, it says 'Backlight Off: FAIL'...'Background Flick: PASS'. However, the backlight seemed to be 'stuck', and flicked for 10 minutes before I unplugged the FW to reset it. I don't know if it's normal for this part of the test to be stuck for so long? - My iTunes version is 10.6.1 - Mac OS is 10.5.8, on a 2004 iBook G4 (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) What I want to do ultimately is just to be able to mount my files to back them up before a complete restore. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :o) [/QUOTE]
