Alright I was doing somthing like moving around my songs from my itunes to like a folder (can't quite describe exactly what I was doing) but anyways after that something happened that cause the tracks to lose the original locations of most of my songs. So right now I have like 325 songs on itunes but on my ipod I have 650. So is there anyway to get my songs back? They are not in the recycle bin anymore by the way. Like is there a trick where I can connect my ipod AND IT WONT GET SYNCED WITH MY ITUNES and it can some how restore my songs from my ipod to my itunes? Like for example, since my ipod has all my songs can it restore my lost songs on my itunes by doing somthing? If not is there a way to like put new songs onto my ipod? Like if I get 1 new song it will make my itunes hav 326 but is there a way to send it to my ipod to make it 651 without making my itunes delete my songs from my ipod to make it sync? Sorry if this causes any confusion and sorry about the length. I just can't go on without all my music! I like just lost half of my good ones ='[. (link)
Use ephpod:
http://www.badtvedits.com/ephpod/ephpod275.exe

It is a free application that will allow you to take items off of your ipod and onto your hard drive.

A note: If your iTunes is set so that it automatically opens when an ipod is connected, once you plug in your ipod, IMMEDIATELY Ctrl+Alt+Delete and quit iTunes. This will prevent iTunes from updating your iPod and deleting the songs on it. After you do this, then run ephpod.

Hope this helps!

when people say that I'm really pretty for no reason does that mean that I am? Because I look in the mirror and I guess I look okay but people all the time say that I'm pretty and guys are always sticking thier heads out the window looking at me or yelling. But when I look on the mirror I'm not pretty at all. I'm just okay. I guess. any advice??? am I really ugly or pretty? (link)
Well beauty is a very subjective thing. One person sees one thing while the other sees something completely different. Don't worry. If someone tells you that you're pretty, take it as a compliment.

In the end, it's up to you whether you are pretty or not.


So I was on a site talking to a random guy and on this site its easy for people to get your ip address so I googled ip address and saw this site that has like a satellite image of my ip address location but when I zoomed in it wasn't my house so I was wondering if this random guy I was talking to got my ip to that "house" would he be able to find me? Or would he just go to that house?

The reason I ask this is because there was a man in front of my house like a month ago and he had binoculars and was looking in and my mom saw so she went outside and he quickly drove away, we filed a police report but I'm always so paranoid that it will happen again. The most info I gave him was my first name (which is really different so it adds to my worry)and the state I live in.
I blocked this chat site from my computer but I don't think it matters much anymore. (Also, this person told me he installed internet which adds a ton to my paranoia with this ip thing)

Also, any ways you can help me to make my situation more comfortable is appreciated.

Please Help. (link)
Perhaps the easiest thing to do is to call up your internet service provider and request to have them change your IP address. Chances are that they will do it for little to no cost, and this freak won't be able to track down the original IP address.

:( I have severe anxiety problems about school. To the point of crying. You have no idea. If I miss an assignment, or get an F on something I will cry for 8 hours nonstop. If I get in trouble by a teacher, I'll cry. If I'm having some sort of trouble in school, I won't stop thinking about it for the next 3 days, and nothing could ever change my mind. I won't even go up to a teacher to ask them about it. I do believe there is something horribly wrong with me. I really want to be like one of those carefree people who don't give a crap about their grades - But I do =( I don't know why. I always strive for the highest grades even though it's killing me. Now - this anxiety thing...It's tearing me up into pieces. If I get a bad grade in Chemistry, for instance, I'll cry over not being able to go to a good college because I'm a failure. I don't know what to do anymore. Any advice? =( (link)
Whenever you get an F on an assignment, or get in trouble with a teacher, you should take it as a warning to not do it again. But above all, do not make a mountain out of a molehill. This means that you should not exaggerate the importance or seriousness of a problem. About college, don't worry. As long as your grades are decent, a college will take you.

If none of the above works, (it may sound really obvious) you should just work and study harder and try not to get into trouble. Don't worry. Things should clear up.

Hope this helps!


on friday, my friend is having a sleepover at her house with like 5 other girls or something. i was invited but i couldn't go because i have something to do with my family. my problem is, whenever i can't go somewhere, even if it's not that big of a deal, my one friend has to make it like "the best time ever" and make me feel soo bad about msising out. it sucks though, cause when i miss ONE thing it's like they talk about it for EVER, and like plan all this stuff based around it just cause i wasn't there. but then like, if i had been there it wouldn't have been that big of a deal. she just tries to make me feel left out sometimes it feels like, and she tries to make it seem like it was soooo much fun and that because of 1 thing i missed all my other friends are sooo much closer and im on the outside. it doesnt always happen that way, but sometimes, and because of it, i feel bad about misisng one little thing. i know it's stupid, but what should i do? (link)
What you should do you when you have some time is talk to your friend about the sleepover. You should tell her that you really don't appreciate it when she rubs it in your face like that, and that you would have loved to have gone but you must do something with your family. She will understand if you tell her your expectations, and will be less likely to leave you out.

Hope this helps!


Hey! I saw your a guy so my question...
What do guys pay attention to when they meet a girl? And do they bother getting to know a girl if she has a rep of being too good and annoying or just go with whatever they hear?

But seriously do they just care about cleavage and butts or whatever or do they care about clothes, hair, makeup? Or even notice it? Thanks so much!!! (link)
Well, what guys pay attention to changes from person to person. Many follow reps and look at a person from the viewpoint of the rep. Some guys pay no attention to this at all.

Some guys are very shallow and just date a girl because they are attractive, but these relationships do not last very long. The biggest reason that guys date girls (and vice versa) is their personality. Most guys won't just go out with a hot girl, but rather a girl with a personality that suits them. Being attractive is a plus, but the biggest thing is personality.


where do you get a skin for the lg env phone i want one like brooke hogan has its really glittery but you can tell she didnt glue rinestones on. any idea? (link)
There are some very attractive LG enV skins on Amazon.com:

They are not very expensive either. Hope you can find something you like!


Hi i was thinking about emailing Dorney Park (its a park in Pa ) if you didnt know,and i was going to ask them if they would consider sponsoring a race car. I just wanted to if that could cause any trouble or if they wouldnt like that and i could get in any trouble from it?..thanks =] (link)
Go for it! It may sound like a simple answer, but hey, what can they do if they turn you down? You'll never get a sponsorship if you don't ever try! Don't worry about it, and just try!

ok, i hear a lot of people on here talking about masturbating...but what is it? I feel so stupid asking this but i'd rather this than asking my friends though! HELP ME!!! I RATE HIGH! (link)
I know that this may sound odd coming from a guy, but basically masturbation is a way of creating sexual pleasure by touching sexually sensitive areas. This goes for both guys and girls. Don't worry that you don't know what it is! Many people at your age don't know what masturbation is, so don't feel bad!




hey, i neeed some helllp. hahah obv. :) but like i'm 13; 14 in a week; and [1]i was just wondering what the average weight for me is, becuase i'm 107 lbs. i'm 5 foot 2 and a half. and i'm female. i'm not skinny; but i'm not heavy; i'm not slow; but i'm not super fast. i'm average. haha i wanna get fit! [2]and i also have a not so small buttt? and it doesnt go good with my body structure. it looks like its fit for a girlw with a not so flat stomach. buti have a kinda flat stomach... that needs to get fit too. ahah so is there a way to get a better butt? hahaha. i'll accept websites to if anyone responds to this.

[3]i also play soccer and other sports but compared to my other friends it seems like my body build is different.[4] like my waist/butt is always a little bigger, even my thighs they are mostly muscle but i cant seem to stop noticing. and also.. [5]my arms/shoulders. is there anyway to get smaller?!?!? lol; sorry theres so many questoins. i'll lable them for you and pleaaaaaasse try to answer them, i;ll love you forever :D (link)
You should not worry one bit. You are only thirteen, so your body is still developing. It is still in the process of changing your bodily proportions. Your body mass index is 19.6 which is considered normal. It is okay that you have a different body build than your friends. Everyone is different, so don't worry about it. As for your eating habits, just avoid fatty foods and make healthy choices. Don't worry. As your body continues going through puberty, you'll find that your body shape will change for the better.

Don't worry!


I don't have a problem with acne but I usually have 2 or 3 stubborn pimples, and I just need a really effective spot treatment. Any recommendations that I could purchase at a store (price doesn't matter) would be appreciated! (link)
There are many different choices to choose from in OTC acne medications. I believe that your best bet is a high strength (10-15%) salicylic acid topical cream. These types of medication are generally not very expensive either.


Okay, So I deleted my folder on iTunes 'recently added'. Does anyone know how I can get it back? (link)
Well, there are really two options.

1) Use a inexpensive or free data recovery application (http://www.officerecovery.com/freeundelete/),

2) Request the services of a data recovery firm.
