OK, guys. I sent this to the guy who is now in charge of this case, from
Apple. Yall look this over. I'd like a 2nd opinion, but, I think? we may?
be getting to the bottom a this, finally!
I'm obviously not including this guy's personal e-mail address he gave me,
or he'd have my head, but I've at least! below pasted exactly what I wrote
him. Tell me if yall think my theory's correct.
Hey Nate, it's Chris Gilland. I spoke with you regarding the weird ITunes
issue with syncing playlists.
I went to the site you gave me on how to properly remove ITunes, and did it.
I reinstalled from the itunes dmg image, then recreated a playlist called
"IPod." I then plugged in the IPod. Well, something really odd happened.
Disc mode got enabled under the summary tab. Well, whatever... I disabled
that, and went under the music tab. Guess what! I now see all the
playlists including "IPod." Is that not something else? I musta not
removed it correctly at all the first time, as that did the trick. Good
golly Miss Molly though. Hey, that'sw a good song! O wait... Anyway, I
r'r'r'really! wonder why it did this. I'm scared at this point to plug
another Nano in. OK, so yeah, like, check it out. Here's my theory.
I wonder if...
Could it be, that just as you can only sync one library at a time with an
IPod, I wonder if it goes the same way with auto syncing libraries.
In other words, I wonder if it is possible that perhaps you only can sync
one IPod automatically per computer. Yeah, I know you can sync unlimited
IPods with one library, but I wonder if they all have to be set to manually
manage, then you have! to drag/drop. I'm thinking you only can have one
IPod set to auto sync. All the others *must!* be done through manual mode.
Otherwise it seems to corrupt your preferences somewhere. I cannot really
pinpoint down where, but apparently, that must be the case. Tell ya what:
Can you do me a favor? Try grabbing two Nano 8 gigs if possible, and sync
one of 'em automatically. Then go on that first one and sinc it in the
music tab with just one manually created playlist. Now go plug the second
IPod in. Try then to sync it with another manually created playlist sepret
from the one you used for the first IPod. Tell me if that works. If it
does, then that proves my theory wrong. If it disappears, then reinstall
ITunes, and you'll be fine. I just wanna have another person try testing my
theory and see if then! they can regenerate this issue. I'll betcha almost
anything that my theory's right, but I dono for sure, and, I may be a teer3
tech agent for another company, but even teer3 reps are known to make
booboos at times. LOL! Anyway, let me know please what that does, or if
you think my theory even remotely! may be right.
Thank you ever so much for all of your help tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed
talking with you.
Chris
