[Cube] ipod help - FYI

[Helen Lowe]

I think the question of automatic synch-ing deleting your iPod tunes can be 
sorted in iTunes. When you connect your iPod, the iPod icon appears in the 
bottom right of the iTunes window, alongside the equalizer and visualizer 
icons. click on it and you get a window where you can un-tick the automatic 
update box. Then it doesn't do it automatically.

Well it worked for me...

  My experience has been that NONE of those programs work.

The computer always asks if you want to sync the iPod to the computer with 
the empty iTunes library.  If you answer "no", the programs exit.  If you 
answer "yes", of course, you end up erasing the iPod.  I don't know anyone 
who has gotten around that.

I ended up copying the iTunes library from one computer to the other using 
Target Disk mode.  That definately works.  5GB takes circa 25 minutes via 
FireWire.  Very easy to do.

Of course, her problem would not be helped by that info unless she has her 
iTunes library backed up.

I'd need proof via a live demo before I wasted any more time fiddling around 
with third-party iPod software.  I think I tried three different programs.  
None worked.
