itunes & ipod help

buckshee

so I bought a new laptop today to replace my macbook the thieving slags stole from my flat but it has had to restore my ipod which meant I lost everything off it and am now loading up some new CD's onto it but when I try to drag and drop the CD's onto the pod in itunes it won't happen just get the old no entry sign.

I've turned off sync and just want to do this manually , what am I doing wrong?

May be too late for you buckshee, but for anyone else, you can use Senuti on the Mac (and there is Windows software out there that will do the same thing) to pull music from your iPod into iTunes, thus saving you from having to re-rip music from cds etc.

I use I-Sync-Tunes for this. It's a bit cumbersome, but its free and it does the job. A word of warning though, it's fine with music, but with videos it tends to rename files, so that the titles have to be checked and typed in manually. Not a big problem unless you've got hundreds of vids, but potentially a bit frustrating if you're in a hurry.

Had a problem when my pc crashed and wiped everything but managed to re-install the songs from my ipod to pc by using tunejack - no problems at all - would recommend it.

I've backed all my tunes on to an external hard drive. They don't cost very much and it saves hassle if your pc or laptop dies.

I accidently reformated my iPod whilst updating a new version and subsequently lost everything.
I emailed itunes and they were very helpful, in fact they got back to me within the day, though they warned me they wouldn't do it again if I fooked up in the future.
Gave me a new user name and password with a link and I got all their stuff back, though of course I did have to redownload all the stuff I had done other than with itunes.
Me and pooters don't make for a happy union it must be said.

Limewire is good, just make sure your virus protection is in order.

Oh, filesharing makes you go blind etc......

just downloaded itunes 9 onto the new laptop and discovered Home Sharing. Means I can link the old laptop and new one to the same account and download the music library from one PC to the other. Simples.
