HELP!!

A little clarification if I may? Are you using the same computer or two separate computers? I'm sure we can sort this out for you, with a little bit of thought....

Do you have the same library on the computer for both iPods, or do you have different libraries? If you're not sure, different libraries can be accomplished by holding Shift when you open iTunes or by having two different computer user accounts in Windows.

Disconnect the iPod and close out of iTunes entirely. Then, open up iTunes while holding the shift key and choose the library you'd normally choose when you're syncing your iPod. Once iTunes is open and displaying that library, connect your iPod and sync it.

well, at this point, no. But, I think at this point, we should set about locating all the music and getting it organized into yours and his. At that point, I'd say the simplest way to set it up would be for each of you to have your own login account on the computer. Thus, you could each have separate libraries with a minimum of fuss. So, the first place to look is Documents>Music>iTunes and see that your music is all there. Is everything still there or do you need to look further for it?

Have you tried dragging the folder full of music into iTunes? That should restore it all to the library...
