I'm looking to move the library over to a flash drive to clear out my internal HD to install 10.5. Question: are 32gb flash drives fast enough to hold a large library and play reliably off the drive? Question: is anyone doing this, and what model do you recommend? I've seen a few as low as $125. or so.

But, I wouldn't. Here's why: I just bought a portable external USB hard drive (Seagate 250 GB FreeAgent Go) at Fry's Electronics a couple of weeks ago for $110 + tax. That's almost 8 times more storage--for $15 less-- than the flash drive you're talking about. Also, you're going to completely fill that flash drive right when you get it. You'll have little-to-no more room for expansion for new files. Sure, hard drives have a larger footprint on your desktop than flash media, and most of them require a second USB port to power the drive. But, for my money, the cost of flash memory is still too much for too little.

In your iTunes Music Folder you should have a file called iTunes Library.xml. You can import this file into your new iTunes. If you deleted this file check your backup if you have one. Importing this file should restore all playlists. In regards to syncing the iPod, you may have a bad USB port on your PC. Have you tried with a different USB port?

What does this mean please? What will happen as a result of resetting sync history? I have OS 10.5.3 and I've never used the application iSync for any of my iPods or iPhones. The only uses I've ever come across is for .Mac and to sync my old RAZR phone to iCal and Address Book. But now that I have an iPhone, I've never seen iSync in use. When I connect my iPods or iPhone, iTunes is the only application active that I can see. iSync never opens or shows up in the Activity Monitor. When I read the "About synchronization" in the iSync Help feature, there was mention of .Mac, bluetooth phones, PDAs, but nothing about iPods. Always open to learning more, though. ------------ Michael Prete More will be revealed.

Go back and right click on one of the little exclamation points and select "update podcast" from the popup menu. Hopefully it will now download. If a podcast server doesn't respond in a timely manner iTunes will assume it is an error. Your connection can cause iTunes to think there's a problem. Let me know if it works.

Satellite highspeed is often bandwidth constrained and the download times out, with an error being reported by iTunes. Hope this helps.
