    Is there a program that lets you save the ratings as well as the songs? I can't be bothered back-upping all my songs as well as doing ratings again..

    I only found one and it was shareware... Im cheap... so no...
    any freeware?

    Thanks in advance,

    lilazn7

    Hi there. In attempting to copy songs from my old iPod to my new iPod (which are not on my iTunes), I saved the songs to my computer, and then attempted to drag and drop them to my iPod bot through iTunes and through "My Computer"(I since have learned I should have imported). Now the songs show in my iPod, but will not play. They do not show up in iTunes at all, and if I try to delete them through "My Computer", they are back in there as soon as I disconnect and then reconnect the iPod.

    This forum can easily walk me through the correct way to copy to iTunes, but in the meantime, I have lost nearly 4g off of my iPod for songs that won't play. How do I get them off if they won't show in iTunes!!!

    Your help is much appreciated.

    thanks,
    Zach

    Lethal,
    I think i have actually permanantly lost all my songs. SERIOUSLY. Anyway, i deleted my songs from my PC so i could regain alot of memory on my hard drive, but i didnt delete the songs from my ipod. The next day, iTunes manages to have reset itself meaning that there is no recognised link between the iTunes and the iPod and my library is empty. I hook up my iPod, add all the songs from my iPod into iTunes library. Happy. Until i add some new songs into iTunes and then try to update my iPod. To update i had to make anew link, causing iTunes to replace everything on my iPod with everything in the "new" iTunes. Problem, iTunes can't write the songs from my iPod onto my iPod, it has to delete from the iPod first and then add the new songs from the new iTunes. So, all the songs in my library cannot be found as they are not on my computer or my iPod, so they can't be written onto my iPod if they can't be found and now i'm left with an iPod with about 6 Podcasts on it.
    Please could you at least try and help me?!?
    Thanks, Lewis

    Would recommend backing all of your songs onto CD's or DVD's as the case may be, my wife lost all of her songs in the computer due to a hard disk corruption, still on the Ipod, but not on the Computer now, still trying to learn how to download songs into the computer again using Ephpod, will post back later with the results. Great guide by the way Lethal_B.

    Ephpod was unable to open up the Ipod, so I tried using Sharepod, Sharepod worked awesomely. Learned from previous experience and burned all of the MP4 files onto a DVD and archived the disk. Thanks again for the help Lethal_B. Made the wife happy.

    I read some of the replies to this thread but I am pretty sure my question was not answered, sorry if I am indeed repeating something.

    I would like to plug my computer into a mac that has not been set up for manual manage of songs from ipod. Is this someting that is set up in the ipod or the computer?

    I quess the question is if you set up your ipod to manual manage once, does it reamain that way no matter what computer you plug your ipod into?


    any help is apreciated!

    thanks.
