Problems with Ford's SYNC?

IPod Sync Problems? Please Help me!?

• I recently asked this but I didn't get very helpful answers. No spam please. I really need help and soon, cos I have to sort out my iPod. Thank you in advance. Hi. I have a problem with syncing my iPod touch. Updated to newest version. I have iTunes on an external hard-drive. When I want to remove songs from my ipod, it doesn't work but when I sync, I generally lose things I wanted to keep. I am given no warning. The memory it tells me I have in itunes on comp is always wrong. It has just removed some of my apps! They are in the recycle bin, but I never put them there! When I click restore, it tells me "G:/ refers to a location that is unavailable. .....blah blah blah...If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location" All I wanted to do, was put my new cd in my ipod. It seems like it is too much to ask. I don't know what to do. Also, I noticed itunes now opens, without my hard-drive connected, it didn't before. Some of my music on my ipod, is no longer listed in itunes, but I never did anything to that. For example, a few songs off a few albums are in itunes, but not the whole album, as on my ipod. I am worried it will remove them, even though it doesn't remove songs, I want it too. It is supposed to sync songs that are ticked. Please HELP! I am pretty clueless, when it comes to computers. Another thing, I have a playlist of my videos, so they play continuously, but they are still listed in videos. Are they taken up double the room? Can I delete them from videos folder on my ipod and still have them in the playlist? Thanks in advance. Sorry for throwing so much at you. Hope you can help :) Oh, and the reason iTunes on an external hard drive, is because the music is. Music would take up a lot of room otherwise, wouldn't it? :)
