Re: Please save my iPod!!!
Well I've been trying for four bloody days now.
I uninstalled it. Reinstalled it. Tried again. Didn't work. Completed deleted it off my computer. Tried again. Didn't work. Decided I would copy whatever was in my iTunes and resave it in a new file. Did all sorts of cleaning, iPod cleaning using "Bye Tunes", Windows Registry Cleaner, etc., still did not work. Uninstalled QuickTime in case that was causing the problems. Didn't work. Reinstalled QuickTime seperately and then iTunes. Didn't work. Checked the registry to see if there was anything wonky going on in there. Did a chkdisk or whatever command that is, and everything was fine. I event went into Disk Mode into my actual iPod which was nerve racking ... but it was all o.k. I got all these suggestions off of the Apple website. Seriously, they suck!
Anyway, yesterday, FINALLY, my iPod was no longer showing up as corrupt and it was being recognized by iTunes. Hard drive was showing up as healthy when I did the check. I had a full 56 GB of space on my iPod.
So I said, o.k. stuff iTunes, let me try YamiPod or Floola instead. Of course, it did not work.
I then completely deleted the iTunes library and every single iTunes folder off my computer. Did a search for anything iTunes or iPod related and deleted it.
I then had to reinstall iTunes AGAIN and load my music into it. This time, I loaded 20 songs at a time instead of my 1117 songs. Lo and behold, my iPod recognized it and started transferring the songs.
It's a real pain in the behind though cause I can only transfer 20 songs at a time, otherwise iTunes crashes my entire computer. It used to just upload new songs straight away. Now I need to treat iTunes like a delicate newborn in order for it to work.
Well, it only worked this morning. Let's see if it works this evening when I get home.
