The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Importing iPod Touch to iTunes on new HDD with no access to old HDD

Asked by mrroonie in iPod, iTunes Software for MP3 Downloads, Windows Vista

Tags: , , , , ,

is there a way to import all music from an iPod touch to iTunes on a brand new HDD with no access to the original iTunes folder?

to cut a long story short my hard drive failed in my laptop. i have sent it to a data recovery company who returned it saying basically sorry we can't get anything off it.
I'm back up and running with Windows Vista Ultimate all patched up to date on a brand new hard drive and i've downloaded the latest copy of iTunes, but whenever i try to sync it will not let me copy the iPod to the library, it only wants to sync the other way, wiping the iPod.
so far i have tried copytrans and 7 other 'iPod backup' programs but they all need the 'enable disk use' button checked which i don't even see - its not greyed out, its just not there. i have read it appears when u check the 'manually manage music' which i never did, i always let iTunes do it automatically. i ticked it but the option still never appeared.
i cannot see the iPod in My Computer either, even with 'hide system protected folders' in folder options unchecked (as well as show hidden n system folders), nor can i see it in disk management. iTunes can see it tho.
i've tried everything i can think of but i really don't want to wipe the iPod as there is a lot i've bought on iTunes i'll lose if i do. any ideas would be greatly appreciatedStart Free Trial
