Okay, as my name implies, i need your help. I am currently editing a family movie and i tried to backup my brother's music to an external hard drive because it really hogs space (bad idea, i know). Well basically, the hard drive has stored it in xml and data forms and i cannot retrieve it. I hae all of my brother's music on two seperate iPod mini's and one of them is connected (not synced) to my iTunes. I can access (play) the songs and edit their info. I can do everything but export them or tranfer them to another location. I have enabled all of my iPod's for manual managing and for disk use. I have another iPod connected and I am hoping to tranfer the songs from the iPod with my bro's music to A: my other iPod's hard disk for later removal and recovery, or B: transfer the files onto my desktop (or any other folde for that matter) for later recovery. I am sorry for being lengthy but i figured that details might help anyone that is willing to assist me. I am SO appreciative of any help you might give so THANK YOU ahead of time and good luck!
