When talking with him, he had it setup to automatically sync and when he hooked it into a new computer, he didn't read the warning messages and everything was wiped clean. Users need to do a better job of reading the warning messages and Apple should do additional work at warning people. Ohh and if you manually manage your music, you'll be better off. :) My brother in law just lost all his music.

I deleted everything from the Ipod website from the computer. When I went into the store a friendly sales tech person told me to make sure I authorized the new computer and that should work is it really that simple? So hesitantly I downloaded the new Itunes7 off of apple back onto the new computer and it worked, I do not know if apple changed the software but it had a new loading program. My suggestion if you can is to back up your files then reload this new and improved Itunes7 and good luck to all....I wish the website and tech line were more insiteful...that friendly sales tech person was great.

Because a lot of your comments are pretty partisan and seem to follow the party line. I have purchased 8 ipods starting from the very first to the present version. As I continued upgrading it has gotten harder and harder to keep my info on my ipod. I am an M.D. and keep patient files on my ipod and back up my files. However, I have lost countless hours of sleep, music, photos, podcasts dealing with these later versions of itunes. Is itunes a "virus?" If not then why does it continue to be updated by apple and each version becomes more virulent than the last version. I have been reading posts for over two years? Why haven't these problems been corrected? Of course it is about money, but you can't keep making money if the product eats everything it sees. People will just go elsewhere. POWER TO THE PEOPLE! ! !

I just got a new laptop for my birthday (a dell inspiron 1525 if it matters) and i wanted to download itunes onto the computer so i didnt have to worry about going back to the family computer to listen to music. I downloaded it, plugged in my nano and waited til it told me that i couldnt have any of the songs on my ipod because i wasnt authorised to have them. Whats wrong? i still dont get it, and i miss my music. Someone please help me Apple is doing me and favours either.

Artists want their money for the pirated versions and this is how Itunes is helping them. I was given an IPOD For My Birthday... personally I have always stuck to RCA but i like the little bugger they call the shuffle. Im tired of losing all my songs though... sometimes you need to change things up and they wont let you. :( Sorry Apple....Greed has gotten the better of you.
