[Emma_ZS]

"use itunes to restore". What the hell does that mean ? what do i do? help

[TU-Tuning]

Mine did that. Left it off for a week and it worked again

[Clouds_mate]

sounds like curupt boot files. Do as it says. May need an update and will resolve the issue.

[Clouds_mate]

Double post.

[Emma_ZS]

so how do i extract that file from before then leckie?

[Clouds_mate]

How do you mean?

The file from before wont of caused this problem...

[Jungle_Jim]

mine said that and i just ignored it still works fine, if you restore it you lose all the tracks off it and i dont have them all here to put back on :(

i added more tracks and then ejected the ipod as you are ment to and havent got the message again

[Emma_ZS]

How do you mean?

The file from before wont of caused this problem...

i no it didn't. I just want to know how i can drag and drop. Once the ipod (removeable) screen pops up, what do i do the. Save the extracted files to the ipod window?

[TU-Tuning]

Yeah it meesses everything up if you dont 'eject' it from iTunes every time you link it up. It never turns off if i dont eject it properly, i have to clear it and start all over again.

[Clouds_mate]

yeh thats right.

[djrem]

hold middle and and play button until the apple logo appears on the screen.

then plug into wall charger.

That will reboot the ipod.

if it still says it is sick. PLug it into your pc and install the latest update

[Emma_ZS]

when i open the 1st ipod pop up window i get 3 folders saying: calendar, contacts and noes. I have just received this today and all i want to do it delete the existing songs and drag and drop some of mine on?

[djrem]

oh. if you want to grab music from an ipod you need this program:

ephpod


a cleve piece of kit :)

[Clouds_mate]

i gave him a link for some the other day but i dont think hes tried it out. He keeps asking questions and making it much more confussing. If he gives it a bash it will all pan out for him ....

[Emma_ZS]

i have tried it but thats when it said. . . use itunes to restore

[djrem]

oh. then just plug it in with itunes open and follow the on screnn instructions

[Emma_ZS]

yes i have done that thanks its ok now. I just need to figure out how to transfer songs from my comp to the ipod.

[Jungle_Jim]

select which songs you want in the libary section then drag and drop them on the ipod icon

[Emma_ZS]
