Hi guys,
after buying everything for my iPod Touch through the iTunes on the device I finally decided to back it all up on my PC (and update the software). Plugged the damn thing in, made the iTunes on the PC transfer all the purchased content from the iPod, which it did...sort of.
You see my iPod has 8 hours worth of music (or 125 tracks), but iTunes trasfered only 96 =/. Checked the 'Purchased' folder and indeed it shows only 96 songs even though all the 125 were bought through the iPod. I tried dragging the remaining ones manually but it would appear I'm unable to, and when I select 'Sync Music' in the iPod menu of iTunes, I get a message saying that everything on my iPod will be deleted.
I remember this happening in the past to me and I don't really fancy losing those 29 songs, as iTunes don't allow you to redownload lost songs for free (at least as far as I'm aware). So...with this in mind - any suggestions how to save the remaining songs from oblivion? I really wish Apple made syncing its devices easier...drag and drop shouldn't require so much hassle.
