System Rebuild

Question

I have had to have my hard drive rebuilt and as a result lost my music library. I have retained this on my ipod. I have followed the help given via the web links and it has stated that I need to click on the ipod icon on my explore page and copy the itunes file there to my new music library - the problem is when I dock my ipod the only folders that appear are calenders, contacts, notes and recording so i have nothing to copy across

Answer 1

This is what you will want to do, you will want to go into the tools menu in your windows explorer. Select folder options, click on the view tab. Once you are on the view tab, click on the folder that says hidden files and folders. On the hidden files and folders click show hidden files and folders. Then click ok on the folder options window. When you open the ipod now you will see the ipod control folder. In that folder there will be a music folder. Open that. There will be a number of folders that will begin with F00 you will want to go into the folder and you will see a bunch of song files with coded names. You will want to drag them to where it says library in itunes. The songs will automatically rename themselves to the correct name. Go through each one of the folders like this and your library will be restored.
