| This just happened to me too. I plugged my Ipod into a pc which doesn't have Itunes simply to charge the battery (I didn't have my charger with me). Now I have 118GB of "other" files on a 160GB Ipod Classic. Someone please help!!!!!  |

| OK, I seem to have figured out how to get everything back if your data gets shifted from "Music", "Video" etc.. into "Other" for whatever reason. 1) Plug your Ipod into your pc 2) Find the Ipod in Windows Explorer 3) "Unhide" Hidden files & Folders in Windows 4) In one of the ipod's hidden folders, locate "itunesDB" and an "itunesDB.old_mlpmp" 5) Rename "itunesDB" to "itunesDB.old" (this is the newly corrupted DB), and rename "itunesDB.old_mlpmp" to "itunesDB" (no file extention). This restores the automatic backup of your DB that Apple doesn't seem to think we need to know about... It worked fine for me. I didn;t pay attention to when the backup was made, I believe it was last time I synced with Itunes. I didn't add anything new on that last sync, so I'm not sure if you will be missing some files if you do this restore and you had changed the Ipod's contents on your last sync... Either way, it's a whole lot better than rebuilding your library and all your playlists (they have also miraculously re-appeared!) Hope this helps some of you! |

| What happens when you use Disk Utility on the iPod? Does it reports any errors?

| Another question... Is there a way to save my playlists? my whole ipod was completely playlists and I'd like to salvage them if possible. Before I restore my ipod, can I save a particular file from it to keep them? Also, I had every song's volume manually adjusted to be even.... is there any way to save this too??
