Are you using iTunes?

wats dat??? all i know its an ipod wit mp4 support...n fm, wma etc.

How come your iPod has fm in it. AFAIK iPod never had fm in it. BTW iTunes is the software that you get with your iPod which helps you in transferring music from your pc to your pod with minimum fuss. Maybe using iTunes will solve your problem.

Yes even i think its a fake. Real iPod never had fm nor does it give such silly problems. And it always comes with iTunes. Btw @jz2linkinpark, thanks for telling me. I am kinda geographically challenged.

Load of fake IPods out there dude .. lets make two things clear :

(i) IPod cannot have FM ...

(ii)U need ITunes to transfer musinc to Ipod's .. simply copy-pasting into the usb drive will not work , meaning Ipod will not detect the songs anyway ..

Also , u should have a Ipod formatting tool bundled ... use that and see if the device is formatable or not ...

[speedyguy]

can u plz precise abt this formatting tool....it needs 2 b fat file system

cheers~!
