My iPod has this message:
![](http://images.apple.com/support/ipod/images/sad_ipod_icon.gif)
It randomly stopped playing as I was walking home from class, then I did the reset thing (menu + the center button)...then I got above message.
I tried the troubleshooting (restore) but the iPod wont show up on in iTunes. When I go to the Apple/Support/iPod site and try to submit info for having it repaired I get :
Error 500--Internal Server Error
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
I should've just bought a Zune, even though they didn't exist and all.

Stupid Apple.
I'll take it by the campus computer store this afternoon and see if they can't help me out. If they can't, do I want a new iPod or should I spend $100 to have it fixed (if they CAN fix it)?
