| 687969 | 2008-07-13 10:19:00 | This is what you are looking for www.jakeludington.com Unfortunately, this is $US30 that I don't see that I should pay. In the meantime, I've done what someone suggested on the linked pages and closed iTunes, opened File Explorer and copied the music folder from the iPod to the PC. It "looks" as though all is OK as the music is now back on the PC, but I'll reserve judgement till Daughter 1 has done a full acceptance test. This has taught me one lesson though, a simple MP3 player that uploads/downloads music in Explorer is the way I'll be recommending for anyone in the future. Thanks for all the info, guys.:thumbs: |

| 687970 | 2008-07-13 10:29:00 | Its a bit tricky diagnosing the problem without knowing exactly what was done in the first place but I am glad you got it sorted. Regarding the link, I basically just Googled your problem and that was one of about 10 possible answers. If you are ever stuck in the future, just type your baci problem in to Google and you should get a good selection of possible answers. Basically iTunes is supposed to be pretty simple by design so unless the user has done a complete FUBAR - most stuff is generally solvable. Edit - I just re read the initial problem - the 2nd iPod tried to reset the iTunes library - or it asked if the user wanted to, and the user most likely (unknowingly) clicked yes, thus creating the issue. You can connect another iPod that is not registered to that PC to the iTunes library but from memory you need to click NO for don't change any thing. - Pirating teens tend to swap music with each other in the same way that humans breathe air - it is just regarded as the normal thing to do even though it is illegal. |

I thought that it didn't offer that by default? I suggest using Winamp for syncing with the ipod - in my opinion, it is much better. It does try to steal the file association for video files - you will have to watch out for that. Best to keep videos associated with windows media player. |
