Hi there, I backed up my 80 gB iPod, had a crash which necessitated a reboot and couldn't restore from the backup because the software reported that my iPod had somehow changed the size of its disk! That made the 5 disks pretty useless. Haven't tried since. Use a different method from my compute not using iTunes.... and the original tracks... much more secure.

Ouch. Maybe we need a video for how to back up an iPod in addition to just the iTunes Library.

Hi Brainiac, If you wish to back up an iPod and not just iTunes, give a try to CopyTrans.

Okay; see if you can help me with THIS: I followed these steps exactly (I even set the advanced preferences to Maximum Allowable Speed so it would read/use any speed of VD-R, and set the preference to Data Discs as well), and it worked just fine... at first. Mt 160g library is going to take something like 40 DVD-Rs... luckily, I had a bunch of them! And it worked fine for the first 20 DVD-Rs (which were 4.7GB 4X), BUT it would NOT work with the next package of DVD-Rs, which were 4.7gb 2X! It just kept spitting them out in seconds, telling me to insert another disc instead. So I went out and bought 50 brand new DVD-Rs (they were 4.7gb 8X) and it spit THEM out, too! What gives? additionally, now that I am roughly halfway through the back-up, even if I got it working again, will it just start all over again? Help! RDWB

There is a step by step guide remove the DRM protection and to burn DRM protected iTunes videos/movies/TV shows to DVD playable on home DVD player and enjoy on the widescreen TV. What you need to do are just two steps: 1. Remove DRM protect from purchased iTunes video/movie/TV show to unprotected video.2. Burn the non-protected video to DVD. http://www.dvdtoitunes.net/itunes-to-dvd.html
