When you connect your iPod to you computer it will be detected as a thumbdrive with a lot of *files* and folders which do not make sense to me at all.

Can I reformat or delete all the files? I just like seeing things clean.

better not delete files/folders you don't recognise..
else, you'd be cleaning your IPOD more often as it would be collecting dust on your table..

wah, sure kah? I want to be sure to delete stuff... but you really made it sound funny haha..

just leave it alone coz i guess those files are need by ipod itself

If those are system files, iPod ones, best not..

Yes yes, you can ofcourse!
It's your iPod anyway, you can do whatever you like to it.

Just don't come back and cry when ur songs are all gone, iPod doesnt start up and so on

Hahaha, that's a good one, wei...

But its best not to simply delete any files that you see on the iPod... What if it's a system file and u deleted it not knowing about that? Then its byebye to your Pod!

If you didn't mess with the firmware, those system file can be restore by "iPod Updater"

Need advise.....thanks
when i connect ipod nano to my pc it require me to format the ipod but i have songs in that ipod...what am i suupose to do? i'm new to ipod stuff.

What i want to do is download songs from i tunes...is it download the songs automatically?

uhhh... shut up, open your own thread

anyway, i really need to delete the files/folders as they are interfering with my Kenwood player that can read from thumbdrives...

I guess you have to format, then..
Yes, it will automatically download into your iPod. Or should I say update the list.



Don't mess with the files in there. You will never know what will happen next once you delete those files.

but I know what will happen... when you press the buttons on your iPod, nothing will happen...

dude, thats the software for the iPod... don't simply delete it, k?

oh guess what.. what if i backup the files first then only i reformat the drive

k, i guess ill try that. i have an ipod to spare too and they are both under warranty hehe

I guess the files will be forever there regardless how many times you format it. It is the software to run the iPod. No software, no go. Correct me if I'm wrong

Btw, don't waste your iPod le. Donate one to me if you don't want it.

You don't have to backup the system files. Delete all you want and restore it with iPod Updater when you run into trouble. http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
