Hi. I was using my iPod with the laptop I got from my school (a Powerbook G4) but in July I had to give the laptop back for re-imaging.

I just got the laptop back again, so I want to know if I plug in my iPod will it automatically reformat, or will it ask me if I want to download my music into iTunes? The iPod was synced with iTunes before so when I plugged in it automatically updated, but I'm guessing since it was re-imaged it would probably be like a fresh start.

I don't want to accidentally format my iPod (I had over 2700 songs on it) and I don't know what will happen or what to expect. If anyone could tell me what to do (or what not to do) I would really appreciate it. If it makes a difference, I have a 3rd Gen 15GB iPod, I tried getting the USB adapter and plugging into my PC but I'm assuming my iPod is not windows compatible, because it detected a usb device, but didn't allow me to view contents or access the iPod in any way.

I really hope I will still be able to update my iPod...

no, it will sync your iPod to the library.

What i would do:

1. If you have a laptop keep your music on an external drive. That way you dont lose anything.

2. In the Downloads section there are several programs for Mac that will let you download from your iPod back to your computer.

Happy loungeing!
