You are my HERO.....
I ran the Reinitializer software and now I can manually transfer files with Itunes......
Don't think I'm willing at this point to try the automatic update yet.
Made a few playlists, transfered some mp3s from my hard disk. I think I'm done for the night. 4 hours of screwing around with this thing, when I should be working on my car for the next track day.....uuuuuggghh.
Thanks!
