How can I get tech support for my 5th Gen iPod? My 5th gen iPod classic ( model A1136 - 30 GB) screen comes on intermittently and when on, displays "www.apple.com/support/ipod". Anyone can help me understand what the issue is and how to get this iPod fixed? It is in great condition otherwise (almost looks brand new).

how do I update an iPod classic that has been wiped? I had a perfectly working iPod classic a week ago. somehow someone wiped it cleaned it seems ( I think it was connected to a smart tv and they hit reformat drive) so how can I get the software I need to get this thing working again? I plugged it into finder, it shows up but not the stuff I used to see like syncing with music (iTunes?) I think I just need to reinstall some apple iPod software and go, but I can seem to find it. TIA

The hard drive has probably failed. See If you see a red X icon on your iPod classic or iPod nano (5th generation or earlier) - Apple Support (archived copy). You might want to consider an SD conversion kit to replace the failed drive.
