Title: Video iPod - sync w/MC, then w/iTunes, then w/MC again = ALL FILES GONE
Post by: Jakester on August 18, 2006, 04:36:18 pm

Hi all.  Subject line pretty much says it all.  I've done this twice with the same results:  Restore the Video iPod using iPod Updater to version 1.1.2.  Then sync it using MC (~1300 songs converted from .ape - takes a LONG time).  All is fine.  Then add just a couple of songs and videos using iTunes version 6.0.5.20 running on a different PC.  All is still fine.  The next time I sync using MC everything appears fine until I eject the iPod, after which ALL the files are gone!  The darn thing is completely empty.  ? >:(

Any ideas? ...

Tried v194 last night.  Seems to have fixed this, but is flaky.  The first time I tried syncing the iPod MC froze up.  (One of the few times I've ever seen it actually stop responding - generally MC is pretty hardy in that respect.)  Then, on a later attempt, I cancelled the sync part-way through and MC would not update the iPod status window - the software didn't freeze but the iPod interface did.  I used XP's "safely remove hardware" option to unmount the iPod and everything seemed fine.  But there are issues here.
