After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation. You need
i at least
b three sets
of your music: on the PC within iTunes, on an external backup medium, and on the iPod (in full or in partial). Music files on just the iPod and the computer is
i not
considered having any backup. Backup both the music files
i and
the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). Below are some very good threads to read on the subject:

my ipod touch is disabled for 22 million minutes and I want to fix it but I dont want to lose my pictures and everything else. Help please I dont remember the last time I updated it. Idk I think its been a year in an half since I known about it being disabled. What do I do? Im scared to restore it because I dont want to lose my stuff.
You have to restore and thus erase your iPod. that is how it works.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:

- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

After disconnected all the computer peripherals and trading computer desks, today I can't get the two LaCie external drives to mount. They were working yesterday, but not without problems. The 1T is hooked up for Time Machine, and it ran continually yesterday. Today it isn't mounting. The 4T showed on my mac desktop, but an error message stated it wouldn't mount. I'm not super computer savvy and really need some help. Also, the 2T g-drive is working without any problems. My iMac is an older 2008 24" aluminum model. It has been working well, but gets very hot in back. What should I try now?
How have you been connecting these drives to your iMac? USB?
Have you connected them back to your iMac the same way they were connected before? Including making sure they have the power they need?
If all the connections are just as before, and all the drives have the power they need, have you tried shutting down your iMac and starting it up from a cold start?
If you still have trouble I would ask whether you shut everything down correctly before disconnecting/unplugging/powering-down the drives. Unfortunately, it is possible that some of the drives were not disconnected or whatever in the proper manner, and, so, have become corrupted. (I'm hoping not, for your sake. However, even if so, such can be recovered, but it will take more expertise than you seem to claim for yourself.) -
My computer crashed and everything had to be reinstalled. I lost everything
My computer crashed and everything had to be reinstalled. I lost everything from the hard drive. I can access my website on-line, but when I go to iWeb none of my documents are there. I have tried dragging the site pages that are stored on iDisk, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am a teacher and use the site for my classes.
Thanks!richyrev,
You may not want to here this but if you lost the data on your computer and don't have a backup, there is no easy way to recreate your site.
I just got through explaining this to another user yesterday. You can find that thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1883561&tstart=60
In a nut shell iWeb uses a domain file to store all your site pages. This file is really just a special directory called a package in the Mac World. All your site info is stored in this package in a cryptic way that probably won't make a lot of sense to you. Once your site is rendered and put on your hosted site it is stored differently with basic web hierarchy for the files. The bottom line is iWeb can only deal with a domain package not the finished web files. If you don't have a copy of your domain package file then you will need to recreate your site using your files from your web site. But you will have to do it manually.
You didn't say specifically that you were using mobile me (.mac) but if you are then you can grab your old site off your idisk and use those to help guide you into recreating your site. But iWeb won't read those file for you. It doesn't read html files in, only out. You'll have to literally recreate each page using your old site as a guide.
There was a link on the other thread that gave a little more detail about this. I realize it's a painful lesson, but nothing beats taking the time to do a backup. I noticed (according to your sig) you are still running OS X 10.4 so you won't have time machine, but backup is a good program as well.
Good Luck,

During startup my ipod is taking forever to connect to my wifi network. I have the corrct key and everything. Any help?
Your model MB528LL ipod is a 2G and can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. many apps now require 4.3 or later.
You said "will not use the WiFi connection that I have looged on to it continues to tell me that it can't use anything without a secure connection."
Just what are you doing when you get that message and what is the exact wording of the error message? -
Angry with Creative Tech Support!!! Battery fried and they won't help!
I am seething with anger right now over the awful Tech support I just received from Creative's Tech support phone line. I called to find out how I can get my almost new less than 2yrs old Creative Zen Sleek Photo 20gb MP3 players battery replaced. I am sure that my brand new Toyota Prius mp3 AUX jack fried the batter in my player. I have owned this for less than 2 years, and I hardly ever used this player. I always kept it charged fully and rarely played it.
I have kept my player plugged into the AUX jack in my new Prius for the past 3 weeks, I went to turn it on yesterday and the battery was dead, it would not power up, so I just thought I forgot and left it on in the car and the battery just needed to be charged. I charged it up from 5pm last night to 6am this morning and it still showed it was charging, but no progress was being made on it. I unplugged it and tried to power on, nothing,, dead,, so I plugged it back into the charger and powered it on, it came one and started playing, then I left it on and unplugged it from the charger and within 20 seconds it gave me the warning that the battery was low and it was shutting down. The battery bar was completely white and showed that it was not charged at all from all those hours of charging, it usually charges full within 4 hours, it had been plugged in for 3 hours with it not being charged at all, yet it showed that it was charging..
So, I know the battery is now fried, and I am sure the Prius AUX jack killed the battery, I have already heard of one other person this happening to on a Prius message board.
So, I called up Creative this morning to just ask them how much to put in a new internal battery and fix it, they won't do it because it is out of warranty,, I told them I know it is out of warranty, but I am willing to pay? them to fix it, they told me that don't do? that, and I then asked very nicely and calmly to please direct me in how I can get it fixed, silence,,, from the agent,, she did not know what to say, basically she kept telling me I would just have to buy a new one.. I repeatly asked her to please tell me if the internal battery is replaceable by "SOMEBODY", I know Creative will not repair it, but you cannot tell me that this player is garbage now and nobody can fix it just because Creative refuses to do so.
I then asked her how they can make a $250 product that cannot be repaired once it is out of warranty. I asked her what kind of company makes products that are not fixable?, This does not make any sense at all. once again, silence from her.. I kept? repeating that I just want to know if the battery can be replaced by somebody and how to go about finding out. She acted like it was a big secret. I said, Look, I know you won't fix it, but it has to be fixable by somebody... right,, or are you telling me that once the warranty is out, products just need to be thrown away in the garbage and replaced with a new one,, there is nothing else wrong with the player, the battery is just fried, that is all, as it still works when it is plugged in to the charger.
You cannot tell me that a company like this makes internal batteries that are NOT fixable once they break, and the ONLY solution is just to buy a new product? This is insane, if this is the case I will NEVER buy another Creative product again..
I have now called Toyota to see what they are going to do about this, but I'm not sure how I can proove that the AUX jack really did the damage. I know it did, but all I want to find out is how to get somebody to replace the internal battery.
I have over 4,000 songs on this thing and I don't want to buy a new one and have to download them all again, this took me over 6 months to do this...
Does anybody have any suggestions, I really truly disappointed in Creative and how they operate. I asked to speak to a supervisor and she wanted to pass me along to another Agent, I said NO, I want your name and the supervisors name and I am now waiting for a call back within 48 hours they told me.HI, Thanks for the websites, I did find some yesterday,, Be assured that if your player is out of warranty Creative will not repair it for you even if you tell them that you will pay for the repair. They just don't care, they want people to just buy a new one and they will refuse to tell you that there are places out there that will fix it for you. It is like some big secret I guess and their customer service reps in the Tech dept. will NOT tell you this. To me, this is such a deception and the most awful customer service in my opinion. I can guarantee that I will never buy another creative product again if? this is how they deal with customers that have purchased their products.
I was not blaming them for the battery not working or anything just wanted their help in finding out how I can get it fixed. Crap happens and things break, but if Creative truly has the opinion that they will refuse to talk to you after the warranty has run out, this is totally appalling. I actually had to lie when I called and I had to hit the button that said that my player was less than 6 months old. Because there was NO way for me to talk to a li've person or get any questions answered by them if the player was out of warranty. They direct you to the website help, but that site is NOT working, and I still get a message today telling me that some "Kana" help website is currently not responding. This has been doing this since yesterday.
So, right off the bat you are already shown that Creative could care less about their products after the warranty runs out.
Oh, and I never said in my post that I did not have my music backed up on CD's or on the Computer, I merely said that I did not feel like downloading all 4,000 songs again onto a new player, that takes time. I have over 25,000 songs, almost my entire CD collection on my computer and it does take time to go over all those again and pick the ones I would want on a new player. All of my music is backed up, that does not mean though that it is not a pain in the butt to transfer them all to?a new player. I certainly will not buy another Creative product, so I would in essence have to start all over again and pick out the ones I want on a new player.
I'm in the process now of finding one of those repair places on the web to fix it, but I will never buy another product from Creative again -

Guess you have to do Uninstall and Re-install of iTunes from scratch.
Try the following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch -

On Lion 10.7.x you need to hold the CMD+r Keys insyead of notting from an Instsall Disc, but try that & step 3 onward...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

So, this past week I had a lot of problems with my computer and had to replace my hard drive. Doing so, meant that I lost all my files, pictures, Word, Power Point, and Lightroom 5.0 which I just got in December. Right now, I just am downloading the Cloud, and it says that Lightroom is downloading. I hope that it will be on my computer and all good but Im really not sure if I'm doing the right thing. I tried calling customer service TWICE yesterday, got put on hold both times, once for 25 minutes the other for 32 minutes. I was dumb. BUT if you are able to help me get Lightroom back on to my computer that would be wonderful. If I am already on the right path and just have to wait for it to finish downloading that woohoo!!
Thanks,
