Your experience is interesting, because I take my iPod, linked to my cube, on the road with me and my iBook, and iTunes doesn't exit when I click 'No' on the iBook. I wonder what the difference is? Generation of the iPod (mine is and old skool 1G)? Synch method (Auto by playlist or manual for me). Mine is also set to mount on the desktop. I wonder if that matters? BTW, I'd just copy the files off with terminal, rather than scrounge for some program that does the same thing...
