This is the story.....
My iPod was authorised to my old computer which had a major crash and was dumped for the new one I'm using now. All the music on my iPod was on the old computer and there was about 20gb altogether. Is there any way around not loosing everything on the iPod and resyncing it with the new computer as it seems to want to delete everything? I have tried to add more music through media player and although it says it has added new tracks I can't then find them on the iPod ????
It's really irritating and me been completely computer illiterate doesn't help much either

not offering help, as i am useless with itunes and all that jazz.
but...
my itunes told me to get rid of it and reload it, now when i try and reload it, it says win32 not compatible or something. followed all the steps on itunes help and still nothing. so i have an iphone that i can't add new music to now or update...very very annoying. this was yesterday and still raw with anger!!
my only thought about your problem PSL is i didn't think you can add media to itunes via your ipod. you can delete music, add music, but not add to itunes. so i thought?
Officially….. The iPod works with iTunes and there is no way of pulling music from you Pod within iTunes. iTunes catalogues and stores the music in a separate folder system on the iPod that only makes sense to iTunes. Although you can see the files they have been renamed and rearranged to suit iTunes.
That being said, there are utilities out there that can pull the music from an iPod. The one I used was for Linux and it renamed the tracks according to their tags using ‘artist’, ‘track’ and ‘album’ to create a folder structure that actually made sense. You can then re-load this structure into iTunes and re-sync your iPod. This is detailed here: http://www.engadget.com/2004/11/02/how- ... your-ipod/ with some nice tutorials and links to the applications you’d need. I haven’t checked the links so, as always, have your anti-virus up to date before downloading apps from the web.
I dont think ive updated, there havent been any updates i dont think, as ive only had the pgone for a few weeks. It is a genuine ridiculously high tariff one, but ive had itunes on there for a year or so as my gf uses it for her touch. Very confusing that it was on there but now wont let me reload!
