I downloaded that iPod Agent thing, but...
it told me I should uninstall iTunes to make sure it didn't delete my songs. So I did that, and when I tried to access the iPod Agent program, it told me it couldnt locate the iPod, and I needed to GO INTO ITUNES to set it so it would work. So I'm like fine, I'll reinstall iTunes. So I do, but then it says it's missing something so I should install iTunes again. I do that, and it says the same thing.
Essentially, I spent an hour on it, and only went backwards.
I hate being computer illiterate.
