When you say she has 'lost' the songs, does this mean the files are physically no longer on the hard disk, or that the iTunes library no longer contains them? If the latter is the case it might be worth hunting the files down in the Music folder. iTunes is very very idiot proof when it comes to deleting music files, not that I'm calling your daughter an idiot you understand ;)
No they are gone unfortunately - we don't have software to recover files from the trash, wish we did :0[
If the files really have been totally deleted then DON'T plug the iPod in. Plug it into another Mac and use iTunes on there to turn off AutoSync. The setting is iPod specific, NOT tied to iTunes, if an Auto Sync iPod is plugged into another Mac with iTunes then iTunes warns you that this iPod is tied to another Mac by Autosync and you can choose not to sync it. Then go to The iPod prefs in iTunes and de-activate Automatic Sync on the iPod. The iPod will just mount and not Sync when plugged back into the offending iBook *I THINK*. Test before you try, use advice at own risk etc...
This sounds like a good plan, thanks. I will pass it on and let you know how it goes. Found a good sounding utility called Senuti but it does not offer a get round for the automatic sync, so we are at a standstill, unless my daughter wants to take a chance on my iBook.... ooer it is all a bit burdensome :o|
