ok i have a ipod mini 4gb. and i was wondering cuz i want to put the music on my ipod on my computer and get some new music. but the catch is all the music thats on there right now is from my high school and they delete it at the end of the yr so i cant just reformat my ipod cuz i want the music on there still but i just want to move it off and put fresh new music on.

1.       Connect your iPod to your computer
2.       Go into My Computer
3.       Find the iPod removable media drive
4.       There should be a folder for your music somewhere. Open it
5.       Find all the music files you want, and copy them to your computer
6.       Double check file existence on your computer, and then in the iPod options, REFORMAT IT!

roflmao wow that was great.. but this is what i get when i open up my ipod window...

[Zylstra]

Well, I have to say then, that no music exists on your iPod at all. Does any music play? Perhaps its a hidden file...

[unlovedwarrior]

oh music plays alright.. its a hiden folder but i cant get it unhidden

In the drive folder:

Click Tools>Folder Options
Then click the VIEW tab
Then "Show Hidden Files and System Folders"

And look! Picture directions!
