Alright, I had to delete everythink off of my computer, and I lost everything, even iTunes. All my music is gone, but it's all on my iPod. So, I know how to get it all on there, but when I clicked "music" on the page where my iPod is, it's says it will empty my music and add the ones in my library, and i only have a few cause im purchasing some music right now.
But I don't want to lose my music..and i'm scared if I do this, I will.
Can someone PLEASE give me step-by-step, and if it helps..I think you hafe to answer a question, 'did you save your music before your iTunes library got deleted.' Well, i didn't...i have it all on my iPod.
Now,ow you're gonna go to My Computer. Under the "Tools" menu, go to "Folder Options" and click the "View" tab. Click "Show Hidden Files and Folders" then click ok. Now, your iPod should show up (it'll be faded out though)
Now, you're gonna click on the iPod icon that showed up, and go to iPod_control. There's a "music" folder with 6 folders named F00, F01, etc. Make a folder (either on your desktop or My Music, wherever you keep your music files). Open each folder (the F00 ones), click on a file ( they'll have names like HFJR, but that's okay), and hit CRTL+A (to select all) then CTRL+C (to copy) Then, open the new folder you just created & paste(CTRL+V). Repeat for all six folders.
Then, open iTunes and click File->Add Folder to Library->[folder name you created] and click OK.
