    If that doesn't work, give it a restore by connecting your iPod to your PC, opening the updater (latest vers.) and click 'restore'.

    If you keep getting the "Sad iPod" icon, something is very wrong & I suggest you get it changed if it happens again.

    A unhappy face is VERY bad. You will NOT be able to fix it yourself. If you have a warrenty i sugest you use it immediatly. Or you will have to send it into apple and have them fix it. Tough luck.... (same thing happend to me but with a folder icon instead. It was a pain in the @$$)FOlder and a unhappy face are the same icon. Just with different displays.

    The folder icon does not mean the same thing. I had the folder icon once, but repaired it myself by putting it into disk mode & formatting it & it has worked fine ever since.

    A support person told me on the phone that the folder icon and the unhappy face were very close to the same thing. All i know is what i was told. :) And as for the fixing part, i jsut know that mine was unable to be fixed and then lost. mabey you were lucky and got a minor issue. I no that mine was very serious.

    A virus from an iTunes download. No offence, but I doubt very much that was the reason.. do you have any videos converted by a third party application?
