Spoiler for previous post:

Okay I've found out there's an iPod Linux installer for window, the Johnny West one, but however I cannot seem to access the iPod Linux website and I searched all over and ever other site take me back to the iPod Linux website so I can't download it, any one wanting to help me out?

Nevermind I've found this

About your ipod not restoring does it give an error called error 6 or something like that cause if so just delete all downloaded firmwares for the ipod its in the itunes folder somewhere.

and yes your ipod can be hacked to play videos using linux. Use this: http://www.linux.com/feature/53221

That's only if its the 1st gen iPod. 2nd and 3rd gens have their firmwares encrypted.

@Sparker - Try going into disk mode and see if it will connect to iTunes. The same thing happened to my friend's 1 gig iPod where it had some sort of virus on it and he had to trash it.

Try an earlier version of iTunes. Since 7.7, it's been messing up for a lot of people, and I just didn't update since I still have sutff to jailbreak. :P

Ehh, this is my very, VERY first time using an iPod so I quickly checked how to do it, it's menu + center button for the iPod I have. iTunes isn't opening up. This is when the window is closed but the services are still running from processes.

quickly checked this site and followed the instructions

EDIT: Alright so I checked it out and you need to install it using a PC running Linux, right now I'm using the bane known as windows for various reasons.

EDIT2: Ugh, I tried downloading DSL (Damn Small Linux) from Linux.com but I can't.
