    Its saying that because it is Christmas and everyone is trying to access Apple's servers and some people get timed out due to the large demand.

    Thisman is right in that you have to restore your iPod, because Mac's format the iPod to a filing system Windows doesn't support or recognize. A windows formatted iPod will work on both Windows and a Mac, while Mac will only work on Mac's.

    All iPod firmwares are listed here for download:
