It won't break. It's just an iTunes problem..
First of all, if you don't have it already, get iTunes 7. Next, get the latest version of the iPod software (it comes with iTunes 7). What you have to do is restore it. When you plug in your iPod you should see a button that says 'Restore'. Click that button. It'll delete everything on it. It's like reformatting a disc. After restoring it, it should be back to normal. |

If you have iTunes 7, it should look something like this:
 And umm.. I think you broke your screen. Try restoring your iPod first. If the screen is still like that, then it's definitely broken. |

There wouldn't be a restore button. I don't think you can restore it without iTunes 7. I'll go check the iTunes FAQ though.
You can download iTunes 7 here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ |

No, your library automatically gets transferred to iTunes 7.

You're welcome.
 And no, I go to York (QHSSYC, the specialized). I know some people who go to Francis though. If you want to ask me anything else or you need more help, feel free to PM. |

Ah, man, I had the same problem with mine except it wouldn't restore. I called Apple and the guys said "Wow, yours is really messed up. Looks like you got the bad Apple out of the bunch."
 Yeah, cheesy, but they sent me a new one! Anyways, problem solved and...
