Ayuh, I'm a noob, but I've searched just about everywhere and no one seems to have this exact problem.
I recently (two days ago) bought a 60GB iPod Photo. I got it home and started transferring music with iTunes as usual. Everything went fine, but when I undocked it and went to listen to something, there were no tracks available. If I go to About, it shows the space taken up, but has 0 under the Song count.
Thinking I had done something wrong, I reset the iPod and tried again. Same thing. I reset it again and tried transferring over only a few songs; no problem, I can listen to and see everything. So I try transferring everything over (roughly 55GB). When it's done, I once again can't see any songs. Damn.
So yesterday I spent a few hours on the phone with Apple and a specialist couldn't fix it for me. So they suggested I exchange it. I did that this morning. SAME EXACT THING.
I had put my hand on the iPod right after it was done and noticed that it felt very warm, so I thought MAYBE it was a heat thing. So I tried tranferring songs in 15000 songs bursts. I did the first section, unmounted it and could see all my songs. Same with the second bunch. After the third bunch (I was at H in the alphabet), once again I can't see any songs at all.
Thinking maybe it was the firewire cord, I switched to USB 2.0. Same thing. I've had a 40gb 3G, 40GB 4G that both had no problems at all like this.
I'm at a loss of what to try next. I was hoping someone might have a suggestion. Please; I would be very grateful.
Also, all my songs are there and accessible to iTunes. I even plugged the iPod into my Powerbook (my desktop with all my musis is a PC) and it can see and play the songs just fine on there. I have way more hard drive space on my desktop than I do my Powerbook, so I'd rather not transfer all my music (or as much as I can fit) to my PB and try again with it, but I will if people think it will work.
