    Have you authorised the laptop to be able to do it ?? Should be under "Store" "Authorise This Computer"

    the easiest way to transfer from the ipod is to get sharepod, it copies everything on an ipod to a folder, ya can then import to itunes from that folder

    Thank you very very much. I've always been scared with 30gb of un-backed up music. My hard drive crashed so I lost all of it too.

    But now it's all safely stored on my new hard drive. Good man on yerself!!! :D

    Almost nobody uses itunes for their music due to the copyright and autorisation issues that apple imposes.
    Most people use winamp.
