    i had someone load grey's anatomy series into my ipod video 30GB. all season 1 and 2 which occupies 6+GB (34 episodes of 40+mins each) is in my ipod. The ipod music library is empty. i dont know what he did to my ipod, but when i connect it to itunes and i try to update my ipod, nothing happens. what is wrong?

    Well, whenever you buy something from the iTunes store and
    try to share it with someone else that has iTunes.. it will
    ask for the original user's apple id & password.
    This is obviously to prevent illegal sharing.

    So try to get your friend's user information.

    If your iPod is actually messed up, you may have to
    Restore it. Restoring is pretty easy, as long as
    you have the latest iPod software update, you
    basically just have to open iTunes (with your
    iPod plugged in) and select your iPod.. then Restore.

    I'm not sure, if they were rips they would have
    to be in ".mp4" format anyways.
