I was wondering if you know of any way to upload songs off of itunes on my computer without deleting all my current songs I already have saved on my ipod. Everytime I upload new songs I have to reload all the other songs that I already had on my ipod and I am growing tired of having to always upload the old songs. Hopefully you can help. Thanks Will
What version of the iPod do you have and how old is it? If you have tried all the instructions, i would try the instructions while your iPod is plugged into THE WALL, charging. If that does not work I am guessing it is a serious issue and may need e looked at by apple to fix it? Sorry I could not be more helpful.
You are the best person I have ever met! Well, short of the really important people I know. Now let me tell you, my mini ipod, blue of course, is like my favorite possession. I mean I could do without my car, before giving up my ipod. I take it everywhere, use it everywhere, ( and I’m a grown woman). Well, all of a sudden yesterday my precious ipod, just FROZE! it was the worst day. I just tried and tried, plugged it into my Bose speakers, the battery charger, even banged it on the granite counter. But tonight I had a lucid moment and googled you. You were the first site to come up. I just followed your advice and easy directions and I am happy!! now!! I can’t work out, or relax, or wait in line, or whatever without my music. This is the best! I did not want to have to run out to Staples, or Best Buy, or buy $200 plus on Amazon. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Do I sound happy?
Please help..my Ipod displayed songs but I could not get any sound. I followed the reset instrutions and while it did reset and I could play a song it will not forward to the next song…the same song plays over and over again unless I access the Menu and go to another song …I cannot go to a previous or next song, regardless of the button I hit the same songs repeat..when I connect to the computer to charge

PLEASE HELP!!
your fix for the lock up was the shizficknit, another words it worked great…it was quite surprising , lot like a rubic cube riddle with all toggle this, press this back and forth, but thank you for saving me the tiem of running to the store and haveing to pay for that (even though i would have never figured it out) as far as the dvd conversion program, i use a program called cucusoft dvd conversion, got it free of the ed2k links, but it works like a charm with all fiel types, thanks 14

recently i got my computer re-installed! so all my songs are lost from the computer! but i still had them in my ipod untill today!
i did not sync my ipod to the computer as i feared i would loose all my songs in my ipod as iTunes would not be able to locate those songs on my computer!

Ipod started acting up for no reason. I googled “broken ipod” and this web site came up as first response. Thank you for giving us this free advice!
Don’t give up if you try this remedy. I had to go through the motions four or five times before it repaired the problem. Then I re-instated the factory settings. Lost some songs but the library is full.
You rock and now so do I!
Can you help me? I own a trucking company that runs a line from chicago to edmonton. What would be the best way to get my drivers capable of using their phone in both countries. Right now, I am paying close to three dollars a minute and phones are essential.
omg i pod mini was dead turned it on and it went out agen plugged in charger apple showed and since then i have had no view of my screen its been charging for hours and nothing HELP HELP HElp thanks jonnay!
My iPod is acting wiered. When I reset it it shows the apple logo for about 15 seconds then makes a loud clicking sound turns off then starts the process over again. After I run down the battery I charge it and try to sync it but iTunes says that my iPod is corrupted and i have to restore it to it’s original state. I do that and it works for a little while then i can’t sync it anymore. Today my iPod didn’t show up in iTunes. I reset it by holding the center button down with the menu button and it is doing the exact same thing as what I mentioned before about it resetting for 15 seconds and turning off and doing the same process over and over. I reset my iPod that about 20 minutes ago and it is still at it. Can you help me? because there is noway I can get ahold of apple about my problem

I have a ipod 20GB, and i am having trouble downloading my music from my computor. I have reset the ipod as in the instruction booklet and still does not sync. up the music. Could you tell me whats the problem ?.
I stumbled across your website when I searched for a review on Dyson handlhelds. I absolutely love your style of writing. The Dustbuster description was spot-on…. Wow…even the part about the hard/heavy debris falling out as soon as you stop it.
I have a “big-mother-Dyson” a few months ago, and will now get the handheld based on your review. Thanks. I’ve added you to my “favourites”

You seem familiar, yet I know I have never met you. Very strange. Deja Vu of some sort.
Sorry to pester you with something as strange as that, I felt like I had to say it despite the complete pointlessness.
You are God!
Thanks for resurrecting my precious iPod 60.
I’m sure there is a special place in Electro-Nirvana reserved for you.
