i have everything on my ipod and i got a new macbook and it won't let me put me sync my iopd to it because it's synced with another itunes library (my old dell computer). is there any way to get the music on my ipod into the itunes on my macbook without a flash drive because i don't know how to use them. i tried and it didn't work. please i need a step by step process of how to do it because i am new to macs and still working out the kinks. do macs even have 'my computer'? i'm so confused...
someone told me to do this on my dell when i deleted all my music by accident and it worked so is there a method like this for the mac?
(here are the instructions for a pc)
Start with the iPod disconnected from the computer - DON'T CONNECT IPOD YET
open iTunes
open iTunes Preferences - this blocks iTunes from seeing an iPod connection; leave the preferences window up and running
connect the iPod to the computer, wait about 15 seconds before continuing
open 'My Computer'
Tools menu, Folder Options, View tab, enable 'show hidden files /folders'
open iPod icon in My Computer
open iPod_Control folder
you should see a folder named Music
drag this folder to somewhere on your computer hard drive
after the copy completes, right-click the new Music folder on your hard drive and select 'Properties'
clear the checkmark next to 'Hidden'
Close that explorer window
eject iPod from System tray "Safely Remove Hardware" icon. This icon looks like a small gray rectangle with a green arrow floating above it. It's only there when a removable device (like the iPod in this case) is attached to the computer. Right-click & select 'Safely remove..', then click 'Stop' in the next window, OK in the next window, and then Close to complete the ejection.
disconnect the iPod from the computer
- go back to iTunes, cancel the preferences window
File menu \ Add folder to Library \ find that Music folder copied over from the iPod
