Hi Richard,
Thanks for replying. Yes, all of my iTunes on all computers is set for
manual management.
What I wanted to avoid was redoing the whole shebang on the iPod if I could.
That the Mac could see directories and files but the iPod could not led me
to my question. Had both Mac and iPod shown nothing would have told me I
needed to start from scratch.
Good news - I dragged a music file that was known to be already on the iPod
(maybe that is what you were suggesting?) which forced it to do an update of
its own library - all's well.
Odd: apps, photos and videos were fine - just MP3 resources got damaged.
Thanks,
Dana
