Thread: Apple Itouch 4th gen 32gb some Questions

I'm not sure if this is considered a kosher way to back up the music, however it will work -

When you connect your ipod/itouch, you can access your mp3's by changing the settings thru your computer by opening "my computer", right clicking on the drive and changing the settings to "view hidden folders." In the folder that pops up are all your mp3's in your ipod/itouch. You can drag all the files to your computer an presto - instant backup. The only caveat is that they are not named in the same convention, so you will see files like XnAScn3.mp3 and you have to listen to them and rename them (which I've done twice and then purchased a new ipod). Then if you have an issue with your iTunes you can drag them into iTunes the same way and it will reupdate your directory.

If that's confusing feel free to pm me and I can walk you thru it.
