Just happened to me a few days ago. I'm totally crushed, because I lost my music collection. 7 years worth of sorting, planning music lists, extra. I hope it turns up. But I'm not holding my breath.

Look on the bright side, you can buy a new video ipod when they come out. I always look for excuses to blow more money on technology

I did get my money worth. I originally purchased a first generation ipod from comp usa with a protection plan. Sense then, because of dead batteries and design flaws, I've gotten free upgrades to 2nd, 3rd, 4th gen.

Why isn't your music on your computer?

Well I recently had to reformat my hard drive, and after that it was such a pain to copy the music back onto the computer. Plus 35 GB of music won't fit onto a a 40 GB drive. Unless I forfeit all my applications, files, extra. And the dvd-ram drive that came with my g4 is yet to be supported by os x.
It was stupid for me to be cheap and not buy a new dvd-r drive.
Frankly, I feel keeping a lost ipod is no different then stealing an ipod. Your choosing to take some thing that belongs to some one else.

If your DVD-R drive wont work with OS X, it may not be enabled. OS X has a list of supported drives, and even though most of them will work, since many of them havent been thoroughly tested, Apple restricts OS X to those that have been tested. Try using this utility to enable your drive under OS X if it isnt working already:

I will try using pachburn, but considering it's specifically made for DVD-R and I have a DVD-RAM. (the one apple use to sell)
thanks for the tip canis

I think it enables all unsupported DVD-based drives, though some may have problems. My mom got her Pioneer DVR-109 working in 10.3.9 using Patchburn. The Pioneer drive is a combo DVD+/-R, RW, CD-R/RW, etc. drive.

I feel differently. If you really cared about your ipod you wouldn't lose it.

Yeah, but he has a DVD-RAM drive.. those things are teh suck. He'd probably be better off investing in an apple-supported DVD+/-RW drive. I think RAM media still costs an arm and a leg compared to normal DVD media

My DVD-RAM drive came in and it works flawlessly with my comp...
I'd at least try Patchburn to see if it will enable the drive. Worst case scenario would be the drive doesnt enable, or gets enabled but wont burn properly. Either way it wont hurt the hardware or his OS.

Well you're not telling us the problem beyond the end result. The only thing we can do to help is refer you to your local apple store for servicing.

well I don't think there is any thing that can be done. When a drive dies, it's dead.

Ok then...the apple store should be your happiest solution.
