Quote "When iTunes opens, you will be able to see the contents of your iPod." HAHAHAH! YEAH RIGHT!

I see a blank screen that says 'ipod' and nothing else. No matter where I go, no matter what I do, it won't show me the contents of my ipod. I'm connected. It's recharging. The ipod is on. Everything that I could do, I'm doing, and it's not showing me the contents of my ipod.
