Hi,
I ejected my ipod from my work computer a few days ago and when I turned it back on it seemed like it had been completely wiped. It first asked me to choose which language I wanted to use, as if it was the first time it had been used, and all the music, artists, playlists sections were empty.
When I go to the 'About this iPod' screen, however, it tells me that I only have 288 mb free - which adds up with the amount of music I had on it.
I've had this problem a few years ago and I was able to work around it by creating a disk image of the iPod, restoring the iPod itself and then putting my music back to it from the .dmg. Unfortunately, that was a while ago, and I cannot remember what I have to do once I have created the .dmg using the Terminal. I'm left with a myiPod.dmg that is 18.5 gb, but which wount mount - a problem I remember from the last time this happened.
Any ideas? I think I have a backup of most of the music, and I could restore the iPod and start again, but I remember this method working and it could save me a lot of time spent converting albums to mp3, correcting the tags etc.
Thanks
Jack
