Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | ipod help needed. Any ipod experts out there? Here's my dilemma: * I have a video ipod with 30 gigs of memory. * My computer typically has about 3 or 4 free gigs of memory. * How do I fill up my ipod with videos and songs if my computer doesn't have enough memory to hold all the music? Is there any way to not do the autosync and just load songs directly from a CD to the ipod? Or to load the music from my hard drive, then delete the copy from my hard drive? Any other suggestions?

| I don't have the video on my ipod mini, but I don't think you can delete the song from the hard drive and still have it on your ipod, b/c when you go to synch it again, the song won't be there. I'm not entirely sure of that, but I think I tried that before. Also, I think maybe if you go into the iPod preferences, you can opt not to have the song synch, but it will still be on your computer, so that probably won't help you. You're wanting to have stuff on your iPod, so you download it onto the ipod, and then delete it from your computer; right? But still maintain it on your iPod? Is that right? I'll go remove a song from my itunes and see if it removes it from my iPod when I synch it...will let you know momentarily, LOL.

| If you can set up I Tunes not to sync on connection, you should be able to use My Computer and copy and paste the files from one source (e.g. a cd) to the IPOD. For about $200-$300, you can get an external hard drive/storage drive. I keep back ups of all of my files on that and copy and paste from it to my IPOD.

| We just bought an 250G external hard drive from new egg for $75, that would make it easy and give you backup ability.

| When you connect your ipod, it should connect and bring you to the "Summary" tab. Under "Options", there make sure that the option "Manually manage music and videos" is checked. This will allow you to put whatever songs you want on it without being deleted when you sync it again. You can also delete it off your hard drive if you wish. Or you can do what JVWheeler said and get an external HD. |

| Ok..I just tried it...if you delete it off your hard drive, it will delete if off the iPod..or should I say; if you delete it from your iTunes, it will delete it from your iPod..isn't that basically the same thing? Mine even has a balloon that comes up when you want to delete it saying it will delete the song from any iPod that it synchs with. So, I think if you want to keep it, you'd have to store it somewhere else like an external HD. But then, you couldn't keep them all on the iPod all the time. Also, iPod will only synch with one computer, so unless you have all the same stuff on two different computers, it will erase all your original stuff on there and just load whatever you have on the computer you're synching with. I guess that's the drawback to Apple hardware/software. I have iTunes on all our computers but just listen to music and radio thru the computer on them and synch my iPod to the original computer I started it off with. Does any of this make sense?

Then again, Gracie2006 seems to say something else, that I can manage it without synching. I'm gonna try that first. Thanks, everybody, I think I'm heading in the right direction now anyway. I'll let you know if it works.

I thought I posted a few from Hawaii, but I can't find them other than the joke ones I posted on the man thread. I'll see if I can find a few now.
