Hi guys. I searched the forum archives and didn't see anything on this, so I really am sorry if I'm bringing up an old subject.

Ok, so I'm totally new to Mac OS. I have had a 3gen 10gb iPod since Christmas last year, and about 4 days ago I got my new Powerbook rev. C and a 4gen 40gb iPod.

I have 1700 or so songs on my 3gen, and I want to transfer that to my computer. When I plug it in, my powerbook recognizes it and asks if I want to update the software, tells me it didn't work, and displays the contents of the iPod. But it won't let me copy the contents of the iPod to my computer. Shouldn't I be able to drag it to my Library?

Oh, and the 3gen was originally used with a windows computer.

Actually there was a thread on this sometime last week or so.
You'll need to use an app such as PodUtil to extract the music back to your computer from your iPod. Then you can use both iPods with ease.
