Is there a way to get his music from his ipod back onto his computer? I have been trying to figure this out for weeks and it's got me so confused.
launch iTunes / plug in device
stop all syncing activities
click on your 'device' on the left side (in iTunes window)
change your 'Options'
- click ON, manually manage music and video
- click ON, enable disk use
close iTunes

you should now be able to see your iPod as you would any USB memory/storage device (you may have to eject/unplug and the re plug before explorer sees it)

use windows explorer to drag the music onto your harddrive

they wont be MP3's anymore but at least you can save them.

don't forget to UNCLICK the above two options before going back to normal use/syncing

hope this helps
