Hi,
i have downloaded the demo version of the mediacenter 11.
if i use the mediacenter with my ipod nano, it crashes as soon as it tries to initialize the ipod nano.

whats wrong?

Gordon,

it crashes as soon as it tries to initialize the ipod nano.

Do you mean as soon as you click on the iPod in the MC tree?

If so, try browsing on your iPod in Explorer to the iPod_Control folder and find a folder called iTunes and then a  file called iTunesDB. Delete it. After this you should be able to run MC but you will not be able to see your files on the iPod. Then try right clicking on the iPod and select 'Rebuild database from iPod'. YOu should then be good to go.

PS A new version is coming soon where this will not be necessary.

Steve

It is not ideal to switch back and forth. 11.1 should safely handle switching between them.

and, how do i make mediacenter to update only playcounts and ratings from and to the ipod?

Go to Tools->Options->Handheld and enable the option to 'Sync data to PC' for the iPod.

does this syn only the playcounts and rating of the songs that are on the pc and the ipod? i do not want to copy songe to the ipod that are not there, neither songs from the ipod to the pc.

thanks, gordon

In regards to 11.1, wait for the next build.

'Sync data to the PC' will sync only ratings and playcounts to MC from iPod. Whenever you sync, MC will transfer songs to the iPod that are not there (if they are selected). MC will only delete files from the iPod if you enable the option for 'Delete unselected files'.
