Hi there, thankyou very much for replying.......but, I still cant get this to work and Im gonna throw my laptop any minute now!! I did what you said, and made sure that the itunes preferences were set to "copy files to itunes music folder,yadda,yadda,yadda". I have a file on my LW site entitled "owners limewire tunes"- and on top of that, I have "owners ipod". I cant seem to get the tunes from the shared folder, to the ipod folder. I cant even click and drag them to the folder! This is so frustrating. Any new suggestions? I have looked over most of your posts and cant seem to find the solution- I have been working on this for days!! UGH!! Thanks again for replying!! Hope you can help me!!
