Don't let all that hard work disappear with one fried circuit—back it up. « less
Choose one of the three options given: “Back up entire iTunes library,” “Back up only iTunes store purchases,” and “Only back up items added or changed since last backup.”
Step 4.
Insert disc
When prompted to do so, insert a blank CD or DVD to begin the process.
Step 5.
Insert new discs
Wait for the disc to finish burning and continue inserting new discs as prompted until your entire library is burned.
It will take some time for each disc to burn, so don’t eject it until the computer tells you it’s finished.
Step 6.
Store discs
Store the completed discs. Remember, they cannot be played; they are for restorative purposes only.
More than a million iTunes are downloaded every day.
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.
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!
