I had to upate my iPod software and when I did, it restored it to factory settings. No big deal, because I just uploaded all my music and video again. But now it only appears on my desktop while it is updating the iPod and it disappears. I need to have it there so I can synch with iCal and Address book. Anyone?
Got a tip for us?

Got it
Thanks guys, I got it now. Will that autosynch everytime I plug my iPod in or does it have to be done manually?

in the iPod preferences, there is a panel for syncing calendar and contacts info
OK, got it, but now a new problem....
I fixed all of that, but now my videos won't play because it says this computer isn't authorized to play them. Someone at the Apple store told me to deauthorize and then play one of them which would authorize it. I did and it said that I now hav 3 computers authorized to play the files. I only did one before, my old PC laptop. None of my videos purchased through iTunes will play. Is there a dummies book for iTunes that I need because none of this is coming as easy as I'd like.
