Using a windows registered ipod on OSX

[torus3d]

Ok so i just bought the 4g Ipod and i never had one before so maybe this is a simple solution.
I have a PC at home and a MAc at work so i want to be functional in both places.
I have initially set it up on my PC because i read that mac can read Pc but not vise versa.
Can I plug in to the MAC at work and still keep my ipod structure or will it ask to reformat it or move my files around?

thanks for any help if you have experienced this setup.

Hi, you won't have to reformat it or anything if you want to keep it a PC ipod, plugged in occasionally to a mac.

torus3d: Just make sure you change your iPod's option to "Manually manage music and playlists" prior to hooking up the iPod to the Mac. Otherwise you might accidentally wipe-out the contents of your iPod.

one more question..

ie: like photoshop files and illustrator docs.?
