[Queen Bee]

I knew about every feature on my iPod and how to work it before it arrived in the mail. I spent hours checking out iPod-centric websites and message boards.

I'm scared of my iPod. I don't know what it's doing now. It says do not disconnect. Is it taking every single song I have in my library/play lists now? If so then U2 will be on it twice.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Oh, no... It's just updating your lists. It won't have stuff on there twice, it just shows songs that are already on there (why, I've no clue) along with ones you're adding.

 

[Queen Bee]

Whatever you do, DON'T disconnect the iPod. Do you see a transfer bar on the top of iTunes showing that every song is being imported to your iPod?

 

[Queen Bee]

Also, if you don't want it to automatically update songs to your iPod when you connect it, go to your iPod options and choose "manually update songs to my iPod" (or something like that, I can't remember). If you have it set on the automatic setting you can lose songs that you delete from your iTunes library. It's a pain in the ass.

 

[arw]

well according to the manual if I click the button on my windows task bar I can turn it off and safely disconnet...which I just did. It doesn't look like it did anything except put the date and time on it. No I didn't see that transfer bar.

 

[Queen Bee]

Do you have the automatic or manual settings? I'd highly suggest switching to the latter.

 

[arw]

What I did with the Complete U2 is created new playlists for each album and set of singles so I don't have a million different "complete U2" on it. I played around with Schmeg's a few months ago and it took forever to find the albums. So I renamed them and I also created playlists by artist. I don't want the library to go on there.

I'll have to look at this more when I get home. I think I'm now officially late for work....

I must have automatic. I'll have to look later to switch it to manual.

 

[Mr. BAW]

I bequeathed a white $299 iPod from BAW since she got the U2 version....I could not make heads or tails of it and if you know me, I have no patience to try to learn....

It was handed down to the 17-year old, who, by chance, had just complained that his car CD-player went on the fritz! worked out!

That's great!

 

[arw]

I don't get this at all....

I have the cd thing up to see how to change this to manuel and it says to go to the source menu and select ipod. I don't see that option on the source menu

 

[arw]

I wonder if the cd didn't install yesterday. It said it was finished

 

[arw]

ok the cd did install so why don't I have an ipod option in itunes?

come ipod people! I know you're out there!

 

[arw]

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Is your ipod connected to the comp right now?

 

[arw]

no. I don't want it to upload every single song in my library.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Btw, I didn't mean that smart assed... I've got my iTunes up and I see no ipod option.



I had to help my mom when she got her shuffle so bear with me, lol.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Hmm, brb... let me get my iPod connected. I'll be able to help you better if I can see what I'm doing!

 

[arw]

Btw, I didn't mean that smart assed... I've got my iTunes up and I see no ipod option.

I think that might be a mac option and not a windows option. The manuals are all geered towards macs it seems like.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

You've got a PC, right? OK, let me see... I never even knew you didn't have to upload everything all over again when you updated the iPod.

 

[arw]

according to the cd you can but you have to click the ipod icon that I dont have.

ok then here's my next question...I made each U2 album and set of singles a playlist each. When I plug this thing in I want my playlists only and not everything in my library/purchased music to go onto my ipod. How do I do that?

 

[Kariann]

I think I should maybe put away some laundry before I shower.

I'm thinking you might have to uncheck all of the stuff you don't want on there so it'll just load the playlists.


Where's Queen Bee when we need her?????

ok...that's what Kariann just said in her email but I didn't get the box thing at first. So if I uncheck all 500+ songs in my library than only my playlists will go? What about the purchased music? I swear I'm making this way more difficult than it probably is.

 

[Queen Bee]

I'm here. What's going on?

 

[arw]

I'm here. What's going on?

1. I'm iPod challenged

2. I'm too picky and only want to put certain things on my iPod and I don't get it.

 

[arw]

where did everyone go?!?!

I think I'm getting ready to just plug the damn thing in and see what happens. I just don't want The Complete U2 that is impossible to find anything unless it's properly labelled on my iPod.

Oh and a cute boy email me....damn I don't have time for that right now!
