Hi guys. I know this is off topic but I am going nuts over here and I need to get this sorted out quickly and wasn't sure where else to turn. This may not be mac related, but it is Ipod touch and Itunes related so perhaps that gets me off the hook at least partially? I tried googleing it but got no helpful results.
Anyways, this is my situation. I had rockbox installed on my eighty gig I pod video. That worked great. you could plug it into any computer and just drag and drop music like you would with an external hard drive. Well, I sold that finally and got the latest generation 64 gb Ipod touch. I am very happy with it as far as the device itself, especially the fact that voiceover is on board. Now, I have never used Itunes. And I don't have my mac book pro yet. So I am stuck with the windows version for now. I am making some headway with jaws, although there are some awful focus issues etc. Anyways, I imported my music library, which is 388 gigs. I want to select certain artists collections of albums to put on my new I pod. Now this is where I am hitting a brick wall. After letting it sit for 3 hours, importing everything into the Itunes library, all I can seem to get after tabbing past the search box is a list box of various albums/artists, (which is a mess). Supposedly, according to the help file, all you need to do is drag and drop to the Ipods music folder in the device list in the tree view. Well, I tried copying and pasting and no luck. Also, when I choose add folder to library from the file menu, out of my 780 plus artist folders in my music folder, it shows one. that's right... One folder! I manually have my music folder arranged because I am very picky about that. I have artist folders, which have album folders inside them, that sort of thing. This was so easy without I tunes. I just copied and pasted whatever I wanted and I was done with it. But, I've been fighting with this four hours now and I can't even get one song on my Ipod. Either this is an accessibility issue on the windows side, or, I am missing something. I don't know. I am going freaking insane over here. Someone help me please! I am moving this week and I need to pack up my desktop tomorrow evening. so, I need to get music transferred before then or I shall be musicless for at least a week and a half, which I could not bear. And if this helps at all, I turned off auto sync, I have the latest version of Itunes installed, the latest OS on the Ipod touch installed, and I told I tunes not to reorganize my music folder. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance. Cameron. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
