Right heres wat happened. I had I dearly loved ipod mini (4gb) that I got for my birthday, which contained over 500 songs that i had bought from itunes. But after a year I lost it, then I bought and ipod (60gb video) and guess what happened, I found my old mini. So I want 2 transfer all the songs from my mini to my video. I dont want 2 spend a penny for a software and I have the newest itunes. So how can i transfer the songs from the mini to the video without loosing all my songs from the mini. I havnt been brave enough to plug in my mini. Help will be very apprectaited
If it is on automatic updater and the songs on your Mini arn't on your computer, then it is a bit more tricky. I think as you plug it in you have to hold down the shift key and it will disable automatic update. Then you can open the Mini in my computer go to the 'Music' folder and copy all the files to your hardrive. None of the song title information will be properly displayed until you add the songs to iTunes, which you can then update to your iPod.
thaTS strange when i copied all of the music indside the folders there was onliy 365 songs but on my mini it read 517 songs y is this? plz help
