My 30 gig iPod keeps freezing my iTunes! How do I fix it!?

I have an older 30 gig iPod video, I think it's a second gen. It's worked fine for years but reccently I've been having some problems. I hadn't used it in a long time, and tried conncecting it to my computer and it told me that I needed to format my iPod. Which I thought was fine because I needed to resync it and put new music on it anyways. But then after it formated it wasn't connecting to iTunes and as soon as I connected it to the computer my iTunes would open up and immediately freeze. Also when I would go into My Computer it wouldn't even show up as an iPod, it showed up as an SD card and I wouldn't even be able to open it. It's acting really retarded and I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work. The real problem is when it freezes iTunes, I can't close it even with Task Manager and then I have to restart my whole computer. It's driving me NUTS! I'm really worried it's not fixable. Someone have any idea what to do?

So I figured it out on my own because nothing anyone else told me worked. Basically I had to use a different computer to reformat the iPod and then it worked after I put back on my other computer. Reformatting is the way to go! But if you're having similar problems where your computer won't let it reformat, try using a different computer. That's the only way I was able to do it. Also don't let it do a quick format. Let it do the long drawn out one so it works correctly.

buy a new iPod. if that doesn't work, download a better version of iTunes. if that still doesn't work, buy a new computer.

- Lol, people don't just randomly buy a new ipod orclaptop cus they have encountered a small problem, people with brains try and figure it out instead of blowing £1800 on a new MacBook pro (in my case)
