My first thought was you're pretty much screwed if you didn't backup your iPod. Always backup. Always save.
The songs are there but the interface in iTunes says "please restore blah blah" and the iPod interface shows no music and no video. It's bricked. And for some ty reason, iDump automatically closes when I try to back-up all my iPod stuff so I'm stuck in a rut.
I have 15,000+ songs in my iPod and I don't want to restore or reformat it
How do I fix it?
PS if you make ty suggestions I hope you slip while going up on a staircase

I didn't know you could get songs on an iPod without having them on a computer first.
Pretty sure you can. Just download straight from itunes on your phone. So that sarcastic response is now denoted, .
a) it wasn't sarcastic
b) he said iPod, not iTouch or iPhone
c) lol Raiders
Shoog trying to pretend every single one of his posts aren't dripped in sarcasm.
Redskins, brah. Sexy Rexy
If a program like iDump isn't working, I can think of another option but only if you have windows and only if your iPod was enabled as a disk drive.
Open My Computer and find your iPod. Make sure hidden files and folders are made visible. If you go into the Music folder of you iPod, it should open a bunch of folders that say F00 all the way to F50 or something like that.
All your music is in these folders, but I have no idea how it is organized, and the file names are 4 letters instead of the song's name. It may take a while, but you can copy all of these folders and paste them to your hard drive, and hopefully all your music ends up back on your computer.
I did this a long time ago, before iDump (or at least before I found it) and it worked. Allowed me to steal a load of music off an iPod I bought from some guy. Hope it helps.
I would imagine the OS isn't recognizing the device if it's asking for a restore. Sounds like a good program though.
Have you spoken to SA Dave? Maybe y'all can go to that ipod fix store on De Zavala together.
ugh... apple, ladies and gentlemen.Make sure hidden files and folders are made visible. If you go into the Music folder of you iPod, it should open a bunch of folders that say F00 all the way to F50 or something like that.

*steps away from staircase* ............ should have bought a Sony.
only if you opt for being the roast beef in the middle
pretty sure it's called an iPod Touch, not an iTouch. meaning it's still an iPod, gramps.
Tbh I don't know if I can bth because I h think you're screwed tbh.
As per typical their hardware blows and is overpriced. Your hard drive went to which is typical with the brand.
Its showing on iTunes because when you 'sync' it caches the table of contents of the iPod onto your computers hard drive. Its asking to restore because when it tries to sync this time the ipods hard drive returns nothing or unintelligible strings of bits so its telling you to format.
They are a vertical monopoly and somehow they have people think they are a market balancing compe or. Too bad they design snow leopard to only work on their machines with their MBs, memory, HDs etc.
them.
Go buy one of the 20+ smart phones or similar devices.
How the do you not have the music on your computer hard drive? If my Ipod died this moment I'd have everything in Itunes still. If my Itunes died I could easily move all my music from my iPod to a computer and restore it.
I just don't understand how you can't use the other to keep your music.
If the Ipod died then obviously you may have to replace it but its worth calling apple customer support in order to see if they'll replace it. Jekka had an out of warranty ipod that died and they replaced it within a week completely free of charge with a newer iPod classic.
I got my iPods for free otherwise I likely would have a different device. That being said I've not had any problems with my iPods other than stupidly losing my first.
And they would sync the moment you connected it to iTunes on your computer. I can't imagine building my music library by downloading everything straight to an iPhone or iPod touch. Seems like that would take forever.
lolz lolz lolz re laker troll lost his music
First thing I would do would be to reformat the iPod HDD and then just restore my from my hard drive. If you can't do that then you're obviously ed but I don't get why you don't want to restore.
He is ed, just how this man likes it:
I don't even want to know how you found picture.
By saying this, you secretly want to know:
I was going to respond to a post in another thread, instructing the poster to use one of these: [dildo image]
But instead decided not to. Before deciding this, I googled "dildo" in search of a dildo image, and there you have it.
