I have read this happening to so many others whilst surfing the web and, as we all do, did not think it would happen to me! Last night for some inexplicable reason, I opened Itunes and all my 2,000 carefully and lovingly placed tracks had dissapered!!!! Agh!
I kept cool, rebooted my computer and generally fiddled and they did not come back. After 45 minutes it was clear that they had really 'dropped off'. I had them all backed up on an external drive hard drive but even that would not transfer.
I went on the Apple forums and there it was - directions to Tracker Version website where several ultilitieswere hanging in the ether to download whereby I could transfer all my tracks from my Ipod back into Itunes, a facility which Itune does not have for some godforsaken reason.
I paid a few measley pounds for ipod2PC, a neat, simple piece of software and within several minutes all was safely restored. I have a licensed copy so that is it ever happens again I can grab them back via my Ipod. I even received a personal email from them thank me for purchasing it.
I cannot recommend the software enough. I have now also backed up my entire Ipod tracks to DVD which is a new facility in Itunes. I cannot believe it but throughout the whole ordeal, I was as calm as a cucumber!!!!
