Hello, I just got my brand new computer today, it replaced an ancient HP Pavillion that was new around the time XP came out. My new computer is a Dell Studio XPS, and it has this Windows 7 on it, and I have a problem, so here I am.
What my problem is is that I have this iPod, 5th generation with 30 gigs of space. It started failing a while ago so I enabled disk use on it, and continued to use it as a external hard drive. I have a bunch of things on it like a ready-to-use Ubuntu OS, my pictures, Project 64, and of course, my iTunes library is still on it.
Now I am trying to sync all my music onto my new computer. This works fine, but iTunes grinds to a halt every time it tries to take my TV shows off the iPod. There's no way to change the sync order, as far as I can tell, and every time I try to see what is going on from the Windows Explorer end, Explorer crashes. It does recognize the iPod, though.
So, has this happened to anyone else? Should I just ask Apple if I can download all my purchases off the internet? Or is there a way I can fix this on my end? I'm not opposed to installing third-party software to get the job done.
Thank you in advance for any help.
