iPod Help
Greetings all, Thanks to a perfect srorm of failure (electric power and UPS *argh!*), my machine was shut down while my iPod touch was docked with iTunes up, loading class audio files. Upon reboot, my iPod as stand alone shows loss of all music and playlists. However, iTunes (on my office G5) shows it remembers all the playlists and (at least) the names of all the files in each playlist, which is apropo for the iPod (not necessarily correct for this particular library). If I do a general sync, nothing is refreshed on the iPod. If I do a music-specific sync, I get a warning that everything on the iPod will be replaced by what is on the computer. What I need to do is to force the iPod to update the library - anyone know the trick to this? many thanks, Dana --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: iPod Help
Did you try doing it manually? Where you drag each song out of iTunes library and drop it into your iPod so it doesn't replace the songs already in it... You should find this under iTunes preferences... -Original Message- From: DLC dlcatft...@verizon.net Sent: Nov 11, 2009 12:27 PM To: G-Group g3-5-list@googlegroups.com Subject: iPod Help Greetings all, Thanks to a perfect srorm of failure (electric power and UPS *argh!*), my machine was shut down while my iPod touch was docked with iTunes up, loading class audio files.

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.

Re: iPod Help
I think the reason why only the mp3 files were messed up is because they came from iTunes and everything else was down loaded from other places like desktop??? So the problem was probably caused by iTunes??? This is only a guess... So I'm glad you got it straightened out, I'm always afraid to reply to these questions because some people here send me nasty e-mails when I answer them... I'm just offering solutions to problems based on my experience I never want to come off as an expert because I am not and if I'm just guessing I will always say so... I know how it can be when something happens and it takes hrs sometimes days to get it right... One thing I will say is that Macs are a whole lot easier then PC's... PC's sometimes take weeks to straighten out... -Original Message- From: Dana Collins dlcatft...@verizon.net Sent: Nov 11, 2009 9:58 PM To: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPod Help On 11/11/09 3:01 PM, Richard Gerome of onecoolka...@earthlink.net sent Did you try doing it manually?
