I have recently bought a I-pod classic and i have up loaded a load of cd's to my lappy, but it has taken up a load of room soooo i moved all the music to recycle bin.
And then i went back into I-tunes and, as the saying goes the cupboard was bare, so i have tried to restore my library but i seem to have lost most of the cd's i put on I -tunes.
So this is my question... Is there a way to restore ALL the cd's i have downloaded on to my lappy, and, put them in I-tunes and also how can i put all the cd's onto the I-Pod and an external hard drive easily?
BTW please can you reply in simple english thankyou.... Mollers
Are you on a PC or Mac? If you are on a PC, I think you could restore your PC from either a backup that you've done, or just select a restore point/date. I am not sure if it works to recover files though. If you like to try it Go to Start/Control Panel/System and Maintenance/Backup and Restore Centre/Use System Restore to fix problems and undo changes to Windows
Hope it helps, but again, I am not sure if it recovers files.
You can restore your i tunes back onto your pc using your ipod itself. There are plenty of third party free programs that can do this.
Here's some info pasted from a forum.....
YamiPod (Freeware / Windows, Mac OS X, Linux) is a freeware application to efficiently manage your iPod under Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. It can be run directly from your iPod and needs no installation. YamiPod allows mp3 and AAC files to be copied to/from iPod.
iDump (Freeware / Windows Vista, XP, 2000, Me) - allows you to transfer your songs off your iPod to a PC.
Connect you iPod and run iDump and you'll have access to all your songs, select the songs you want to transfer then pick a destination directory and how you would like your songs to be named. And then sit back and transfer all the selected songs to the PC.
Supported iPods: All Models except the new Touch and iPhone
iPodDisk (Freeware / Mac OS X) is a tool designed to make it easy and intuitive to copy music from your iPod. Source code available.
PodView (Freeware / Mac OS X) is a program to play and import movies, music and photos from iPod.
Hope this helps
