They are. Sticking a "suck all the music off my iPod and stuff it somewhere" button in iTunes would not go over well with the labels.

mark, where did you get all the music from? if you used iTunes with another computer, you can homeshare with the same account and transfer that way.

Well i tried this first and yes it coped 50 sounds..

Then, rather than buy it I tried Simba's terminal and it worked but....only copied 50 songs!

I am wondering if the iRip app put some sorta limit in my system?

nothing's easy!

I used the free version for awhile, I don't remember how many transfers it gives you. I liked it so much I paid for it but I only use it to transfer songs I buy on my phone to my iTunes on my Mac. I've never done more than a few at a time.


edit* It has a 100 song limit on the trial version. The license would give you unlimited transfers for $20. Worth it, imo.

I don't get why you would need to do this on a regular basis. Don't you sync your phone with your computer? You can also "Transfer Purchases" in iTunes if you manually manage.

rsync will do everything in the directory. If that didn't happen, something else must have munched some of your library.

If you have a time machine backup of your old library, it'll all be there as well.

how do i start all over? I deleted all the music that was copied over...

and started fresh but music's not copying..

The music is fine on the iPhone...

The Terminal commands all seem to work but nothing's happening..

Not all that familiar with Lion which doesn't make it any easier.

prefs? what can i trash? lol

Try the following:

1) Mount iPod.
2) Delete existing "Music" folder on desktop.
3) Open Terminal (Apps -> Utilities)
4) mkdir ~/Desktop/Music
5) cd /Volumes/IPODNAME/iPod_Control/Music
6) cp -Rp * ~/Desktop/Music/
7) When cp completes (returns shell prompt), drag the Music folder on your desktop onto the iTunes icon.
