Ok, my comp is running out of space fast, because I'm downloading a ton of videos for my iPod 60GB Video. Can someone tell me how I can delete all the videos on my comp, (IMPORTANT while still keeping them on my ipod) and still use the automatic update feature?

Simply put, I want to delete the videos on my comp, keep them on the ipod, and still have my ipod automatically update when I plug it in.

Umm, you can't?

Just do manual update, I can't see why anyone would want to use automatic updates...

i turned everything to manual, then tested it by deleting a video from the comp, then hooking up the ipod again- it deleted the video from the ipod as well

Ok, thanks everyone- got it to work, but how do i add new files when it's set to manual (once i've deleted all the old files from the comp)?

Drag and drop them to your iPod

ok, thanks- one last question how do I choose what category my files are going to be in? (I have some tv shows that are in the movie category on my ipod, and want to move them to tv shows)

You have to use a 3rd party program to change the mp4 file's tags. There's a list of programs that do this @ the bottom of this page [u9425f64e64]http//atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/[/u9425f64e64][=http//atomicparsley.sourceforge.net][u9425f64e64]http//atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/[/u9425f64e64]
