I'm Not Looking To Format My iPod, Please Help Me.

Question

I uploaded all my files onto my iPod at a computer at my moms house. Then I went to install the iPod at my dad's, and in order to update my pod, it says i have to "Erase all data on the ipod and upload the library from this computer." I'm not planning on doing this, since I worked hard on uploading and getting album art, lyrics, etc. Can someone tell me how to upload my photos and songs onto my library so i dont have to erase everything?

Answer 1

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger tha about 1 1/2 usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
