Hi Cameron, I simpersize in your situation. I remember when I got my 1st
ipod which was an ipod mini! Well its really weird that you have only one
song on your ipod! And I thought I had a lot of songs lol. Sorry if I can't
really help you get far. But one sergestion and it might sound stupid but
have you registered your ipod with itunes? I don't think you have to though
because I use windows and don't own a mac though the temtation to get one is
getting stronger lol but I had some issues with the registration process and
ended up just hitting the "register later" button. But another thing is in
the source list does your ipod show up in there? if it does then all you
need to do once you have imported your music is hit the application key and
go down to the word "synth ipod" again jaws might say unavadable which I had
some problem and to be honest I don't know what I did to solve it. One more
thing that might be stupid as well but are your music files in different
formats? Generally I use MP3. Sorry ifThis doesn't help you but I am trying
my best to help you out.
Tip If you have a huge music library I highly recommend getting a external
hard drive. Then you can tell itunes that when your importing your cd's or
whatever and you have define where you want your fouldors to go you can set
it so it will create fouldors in an external hard drive.
This was a lesson that I learnd because on my old xp at 1st I never heard of
MP3 format and was converting songs to wma wav or what ever windows media
player calls them. But over time that computer got really slow!
Now I know about MP3 and since then Ihave gotten a vista computer since 2007
and later I had the idea of getting an external hard drive 500 GB of space!
Cost about 80 pounds but it was well worth the buy!
Hope to hear from you soon.
Daniel

Subject: OT: I pod touch, Itunes and Windows xp. How to transfer music?
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.
