My iTunes drive is up to 173GB and growing fast.

I've just gotten a RAZR V3i (that's what the manual says, I thought the original description said V3t, but I don't know the difference, I only got it because it is purple) and I can't get it to send text messages. I suspect that I need to set the service number correctly, but I can't find a way to do that. The number is stored on my SIM card and my Treo works just fine, but when I switch the card over to the RAZR, no messages can be sent. They can be received, and I can make phone calls and I haven't even dipped a toe into the browser issue. I read the manual, I checked T-mobile's FAQ and tried to follow their instrictions, I just can't find that setting at all.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm going to need a second iPod for music. The majority of the space on my (30 gig) one is taken up by, err. Supernatural S2.

In an ideal world, I'd either be able to buy S1 or flip my DVDs into the proper format, but then I'd have no room for music. Thus, the need for a second iPod.

My 80 GB iPod is beyond full as well. I won't be happy until they are at least 160 GB, if not 200. My music alone takes up 100 GB, and that leaves me no room for putting TV shows and such on my iPod.

'Zactly. I have about 50 gig of music, with more still on my computers, and the first season of grey's anatomy, and a handful of other television shows; then some movies, but not all because I couldn't fit them all; a few gigs of podcasts, etc. A 200gig iPod would be *ideal,* because for me I just have to dump everything on there and use it as a way to store the media in addition to playing it.

I think the assumation is that people will have everything stored in one place, and then add to the iPod as they want.

Fay, check the file path for some of the missing songs in iTunes. It may be looking for them in the original "home" folder from where you got them, versus the new location. You can probably turn up a trend at least, and that may lead to being able to repoint the damn things.

Unfortunately iTunes doesn't show the file path for your files on your iPod. It would be a trillion times more user friendly if it did.

I'm also wondering if the problem couldn't be that the file index on the iPod is corrupt. Meaning that the files could actuall be there, but the index is frelled up. I know there are various utility programs like Senuti (which I've used) that will let you go exploring the files on your iPod, so maybe that's what is needed here to determine what's going on?

From what I've ascertained the file tree is intact, but the files themselves are no longer in the place they once were on the ipod. I had her check the locales of the files that had gone missing and they were no longer there, so somehow they must have committed suicide while keeping the library intact. Really, the only solution would be to copy the files from their hidden folders on the drive, trash the file tree by restoring/reformatting the iPod, and then slowly readding the file library again by making itunes recognize what's available. It sucks and it takes forever. I did it four times in March.

Follow-up on the thing we talked about before:

Jobs did acknowledge that the company is still struggling to decide if third-party developers will be able to create software that will run on the iPhone. It’s a decision Apple “is wrestling with,” according to Jobs.

-t, I have a RAZR, but I have no idea how to help you. Sorry.

What do people know about the AT&T U-verse? I got a thing in the mail about it yesterday, and it sounds not only much cheaper but better than Comcast. They have a DVR that can record FOUR channels at once! I'm skeptical because it all sounds too good to be true. Save fifty bucks a month AND get a magic DVR? Really?

They don't appear to get G4, which is kind of lame.
