Ipod to computer on Windows 7

May 10, 2010 2:09PM PDT

Hi, I recently installed Win7 64 bit. everything went smooth. i backed up most of my files, but there are a few mp3s i missed but i still have on my ipod.

I knew how to, and successfully completed transferring my ipod music into my Library with no trouble on vista but i can't find any good tips on how to go about it on 7.

any help???

thanks,

Open Control Panel
Select Folder Options
Select View
Uncheck Hide extensions for known file types.

Apart from the Folder Options being in the Control Panel section, the procedure is the same as XP

And here I was, thinking I was in a Mac forum

Happy
