Question : Problem: My iPod will not synced.

I have an old iPod Model #M8948LL, S/N U2326C1ANLY with a capacity for 30 GB.  I originally had it working with my Mac about three years ago but decided to upgrade it to my Windows XP so when I connected it to the computer it recognized that and the message said that the iPod would have to be reformatted to which I said okay.  I no longer have a Mac and of course it wiped everything out when it reformatted it.  I upgraded my iTunes today to the latest version and my iPod says it has version 2.3.

When I connect the iPod to the computer with iTunes open, I can see on the screen that it is transfering files to the iPod but it gets to a certain point after about 2700 songs and I get the message that I am missing a file.  For some strange reason I can see where it transferred nine (9) songs after all of that.  I went to the iTunes web site and they say they do not offer support for this model - so now what do I do?  Does the fact that I use Firefox have anything to do with this?

Got the following from this site: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/ -- Have you tried this?

To restore your iPod:

Warning: Because Restore erases all of the songs and files on iPod, make sure to back up any files you've saved on the iPod disk. All of your songs, videos, podcasts, audiobooks, and games can be loaded back to your iPod provided that you have them stored in your iTunes Library. .
How to restore your iPod:

Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
After a few moments, it will appear in the Source list in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source list and you will see information about it appear in the Settings tab of the main iTunes windows.
Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.


A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.
