• Answer:

  *an iPod is just like a storage device - kinda like a USB. so all ur music/videos are in there but hidden -- all u need to do is unhide them *before continuing-make sure u have iTunes ;) *now just follow these steps: 1) connect ur iPod to ur PC/laptop 2) when iTunes opens up - DON'T CHOOSE THE "erase + sync" option. if iTunes didn't open don't worry 3) anyways go to My Computer > Apple iPod (disk) or whatever u named it (my iPod) 4) open it, and open the folder called "iPod_Control". if its not their - then go to the Adress bar and type this: iPod_Control 5) it will open and ull find folders called tones,gamestats, or whatever. now right-click in any space and un-check the HIDDEN option.. > "apply changes to this folder, subfoler, and files" 6) then ull see many more folders, including "MUSIC" if its not there, then type in the Adress Bar: Music 7) when u opened that folder, ull c other folders called "F-08"/"F-14"/etc. if they're not there, then right-click in any space and un-check the "HIDDEN" option.. 8) then there are all the folders with your music and videos! don't worry if the names are "DHSJ" or "FJDS".... 9) all u need to do know is copy eeeeeeeeeeverything into ANOTHER folder on ur desktop or anywhere u want in ur laptop/pc 10) open iTunes, and drag all ur songs/videos FROM THE FOLDER U CREATED ON UR DESKTOP OR ANYWHERE ELSE in the iTunes library. there names will come back! 11) then just sync ur iPod!
