Helping Ponzi with her iPod
Chris | Live Tech Support | Video Help | Add to iTunes
http://live.pirillo.com/ – Ponzi purchased TV Shows from iTunes for her iPod, to watch on our flight to Germany. However, she tried to sync it with her Gateway, and ran into problems. Now she’s stuck not able to watch them, or even use the iPod.
One of our chatters suggested trying the new and free iPodViewer. iTunes allows you to copy MP3s from your computer to your iPod, and do everything but copy those MP3s back to your computer. But now with iPod Viewer, you can do just that! Just launch the application, import the songs from your iPod, select the songs you want to copy, choose where you want to copy the songs to, and transfer the files. So, of course, this is what we did.
Once this transfer is done… and it will take quite awhile… then we will basically wipe out the Gateway profile, and start all over. Voila! She’ll be able to watch her movies.

don’t know what could of happened. I’ve moved my stuff around and always have been able to recover.
As long as you have the originals and if you purchased them on another computer and put them on the ipod you can still have itunes copy them back to the computer. it’s the only file type that’s reversable from (ipod to computer with itunes).
I think all you need to do is just rebuild your configuration… however, this viewer thing mentioned above should make things easier.
itunes is smart. I have mine access a networked drive, however, I sometimes forget to turn the drive on, itunes simly reverts to local drive but when i have the network drive on, it switches back to it. Apple products they usually think of everything wish ms products were the same.

Very clever pinning all this on “helping Ponzi.” :-)
