well first of all, un-install limewire and erase the memory of ever having used it from your brain because it's horrible.

second of all, i would imagine you would simply choose the "add to library" option in itunes and point it to the folder where your .. limewire .. *cough* .. stuff is stored.

so are you saying that itunes isn't syncing your ipod ?

and it's actually got nothing to do with .. limewire .. ?

First of all you don't need to have your iPod linked in when adding folders/files. So leave the iPod unplugged for starters.
Just do add folder or import.

IF it's not syncing, and a little more information would be useful so we can point you in the right direction.

Have you tried a different USB port? If you're using a front one try a back one they tend to be more powerful. I know one of the ports on the front of my PC my iPod doesn't like.

Are the limewire files iTunes compatible? If they're XviD video or something they won't import - unless you convert them or make them .mov (although they won't play on an iPod).

i download "stuff" and no problem putting music on my ipod classic 80GB

Most importantly --- GET RID OF LIMEWIRE!!!!!

if you have to go down the dreaded p2p route, try ARES (only get it from sourceforge!! google for more info)

Like I said have you tried a different USB port? The back ones are normally far better.

the location of the USB ports doesn't actually make any difference

Just find out where the songs are downloaded to..Find them, and drag them over to the iPod when its plugged in!

click "start" then "search"

and enter "*.mp3" in the search box and click "search"

that will find all the mp3's on your machine - just look at what it returns and you'll easily be able to see where they are
