'The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)' or 'To run this application you must first download one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: v2.0.50727'
SharePod needs the Microsoft .NET 2 Framework to work correctly.
Does SharePod support my iPhone / iTouch?
Yes! As of version 3.8.4, SharePod will let you copy tracks to and from your iPhone/iTouch
How do I reorder tracks in a playlist?
Hold down the Alt key as you drag the selected track(s) up or down the playlist with the mouse.
SharePod cannot find my iPod even though it is plugged in
SharePod searches for a removable drive containing an 'iPod_Control\iTunesDB' file to detect your iPod. If your iPod has just been restored or new, it may not have the required files for SharePod to know the drive is an iPod. Please run iTunes, which will correctly initialize your iPod with all the required files.
How do I select multiple tracks in the track list?
Hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys and as you click just like you do in Explorer.
I get a message saying "iTunes has locked the iPod database. Please wait for iTunes to finish synchronizing."
SharePod looks for a file called 'iTunesLock' on your iPod. iTunes creates this file when it is updating your iPod. If you get this message and dont have iTunes running, it has left behind a file it shouldn't have. To fix this, open your iPod in My Computer, and go to the hidden folder 'iPod_Control\iTunes'. Delete the file called 'iTunesLock'.
How do I stop the iPod from auto sync'ing when connected to iTunes? If I auto-sync, I'll lose some of the music that's only on my iPod!
While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys. This will stop the iPod from auto sync'ing with iTunes. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted and iTunes appears.
Right click on the iPod icon in iTunes' source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says "Manually manage songs and playlists". You can now manage your library manually without losing any songs on the iPod.
How come you are giving SharePod away for free while other people are selling similar products?
I work on SharePod when I have some spare time (and sometimes when I have no spare time..!) for the enjoyment of creating something cool, not for making money! But if you want to help keep me motivated, I appreciate any donations to web hosting and coding snacks!
