Lethal, Today my Hard Drive went out on my comp. (or something happened to my op. system) Does copypod work well? Have there been any problems with it? Would I be able to restore my comp like Dell support said to do and use copypod to rip music off my iPod back to my PC? Or is there any other way to boot my PC? Could I boot my PC off a second hard drive? Thanks, ~Domreis
I know you can use Winamp to copy music off your ipod. (but you cant copy videos) WInamp is said to work well for copying off the ipod. Its free to.
Ok Thanks! Can you copy videos off your iPod useing Copypod? I have 18 DVD's and All the Red Vs. Blue Episodes on my iPod! Thanks ~Domreis
Lol i really have no clue on how copypod works. I didn't even know it existed untill my last post when i did a google on it. I am pro with winamp though lol. Sorry but you have to wait till Lethal or someone else resopods on that one. good luck.
CopyPod won't copy the videos over, no. The only methods I can think of for Video --> PC transfer are the following 1. [bold]"The manual route"[/bold] Open [bold]My Computer[/bold] Go[bold] Tools[/bold] --> [bold]Folder Options[/bold] --> [bold]View (tab)[/bold] --> then check the option [bold]"Show Hidden files & folders"[/bold] Now open your iPod drive Click[bold] iPod_Control[/bold] Then Hit[bold] Music[/bold] You will now have a few folders named [bold]F00, Fo1, F02 etc[/bold] [bold]Search[/bold] through these folders & locate your video files. They may not be correctly tagges, but should be once you re-import them into iTunes. 2.[bold] Anapod Explorer[/bold] Great iPod third-party tool with video support.. http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/
This might be a shot in the dark but you can try. Go into start menu. Hit search. and type in name of movie. If you are lucky the movie will come up and you can copy and paste it onto your harddrive ^^ .
Thanks serpiroth and Lethal! First I am going to take my Hard Drive out of My PC and take it to anouther PC and see if I will be able to read the files! It might work because the only prob with the Hard Drive is that the data used to boot upo the PC got currpted! If that fails I will try your methods! ~Domreis
... worked (well for somethings) It alowed me to recover all of my Playlists noting els! It gave me my hidden playlist folders so its a start! I am going to try Lethals idea next! ~Domreis
I see what you mean about the hidden folders! First Iam going to try to take the Music and the rest of the data off my Hard Drive... and if that dosent work I will use Anapod! Thanks for all the help guys! ~Domreis
Awww!!! Look what I found! This new version will be perfect! Thanks for the help I think I will use this though! Glad I havent started doing anything and looked into everything befor starting! Moral of the Story if you have a 5G iPod video and need to get your Music and Videos use [bold]CopyPod[/bold]!!! Thanks for all the help guys! ~Domreis
Lol, glade my shot in the dark helped a little bit. But it sounds as if copypod will work perfectly. Always glad to help, Serp
Glad you solved the problem Domreis. I still use the older version of Copypod, minus the video support. The way I suggested will work just as easily, though; as I have already tested it.
Well, I started to back up My Music Useing copy pod and ran into errors so I will try your way! Thanks Domreis
I have a question domreis, are you saying that if you make an emergency playlist and put all your songs in it, you can recover them through my search method? Kinda like a back-up drive? (i am to cheap to pay for copypod ^^)
