Hello,

My ipod (30g video) was previously "attached" to my PC with Itunes and all that. It was fine--no problems. Now I have a new MacBook and want my Itunes on the MacBook to be the main Ipod-associated computer (so thta I can download things into Itunes on it, plug in my Ipod, and update it).

I followed the instructions on the mac website on how to do this--copying all the music to my Ipod as a hard drive, and then copying it to new computer. But I still can't get Itunes to take the music off my Ipod. Am I missing a setting in Itunes somewhere?


Thanks.

If you've already copied the music to the new computer, then all you need to do is tell iTunes where it is. The easiest way to do this is simply to drag the copied folders to the iTunes music window (you can select all of them at the same time if you want). That will (by default) copy each song to your iTunes Music folder and add it to the library (the database iTunes keeps of your songs and where they are. Once you see all of your music in iTunes, you should be able to delete all the copies you moved onto the new computer (assuming you let iTunes copy the songs via its default behavior).

Thank you. Then do I just make sure that it's set so that whatever is in Itunes is put on the ipod when I plug it in?

Thanks...will be back if I can't get this to work.
