Can I plug my 1 year old, fat32 windows ipod into a mac computer using a firewire cable to charge up my ipod without losing all my songs? What will happen if I try to plug it into a mac?

It should work fine unless you change it so that is associated with the iTunes library on the Mac.

iTunes will probably flag up something like 'This iPod is linked with another computer. Do you want to use it with this computer?'. Just say NO!

Plug it in with Firewire and it's guaranteed to just charge and not sync.

Thank you both very much!
