Please choose the appropriate forum for this topic. Thank you. Hi everyone!
Ok, so I've left the dreaded world of windows and have switched to a brand new G5 mac with OS10 tiger. I bought my iPod when I had my PC and have been using iTunes on it since I bought my iPod.

Problem: how do I switch over my entire library from my PC to my new Mac without deleting the songs off my iPod? Also, how do I format my iPod from PC to Mac?

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

I am not the best person to help but I wanted to say you will be so very happy. I recently made the switch myself. I was into overclocking my pcs, built my own machines etc. grew to hate windows and just love this mac.

I know there are tools are there, hang out for help from others that have more experience than I do, I'm sure they will have better solutions. I just burned my music off my pc onto dvds and copied them to my mac. I did copy them into my iTunes folder so they wouldn't get duplicated.

As for formatting it for a mac, I left mine formatted for windows so I can also use it at work, not sure how to reformat it never needed to.

hey there. it´s good to see i´m not alone with this problem. i just made the switch myself and i also don´t know how to transfer my music. since i don´t have a dvd-burner on my old pc. to copy 4000 songs on cd for transfer sounds a bit to complicated. have you found a solution yet?

1. update your ipod: this will wipe it clean
2. copy your music as data to the ipod: look for the removalable drive in windows explorer
3. in tiger open finder: click on your ipod and you will see you music there
4. move it to you mac
5. import music to your library
6. sync ipod with music
