IPOD synced to PC

Nelski

Advice requested again please

Its a long story lol but I have ended up swopping my ipod nano with a friend for what I thought would be a temporary basis but its gone on a bit.........anyway mine was set up to sync with my Macbook and auto synched when i plugged it in. His is synched to a PC and I guess it did the same. I would like to put my playlists onto his ipod without it wiping all his stuff off. Can anyone give me a non scary guide as to how to do this and will my mac be able to recognise a PC set up ipod?

Thanks in anticipation .........I need my tunes back lol:D

your IPOD can only be synced to one library at a time . Syncing to a new library will wipe off all the tracks currently on the I POD from the other library .

and a windows formated I pod will work on a Mac , but a Mac formatted I Pod won't work on windows i believe . this will mean completly resetting the Mac Ipod to use it on windows .


someone might give you a way to what you want to do , but you cannot do it with I tunes .

Yes I found out the windows fact when he wiped my ipod :rolleyes: I may have to take revenge then and wipe this one lol. So basically there is no way of getting the two on one then ah well ill have to slow my gym workout to match whitney houston songs then :eek:

Do yourself a favour and manually manage the music on your iPod. Then it won't helpfully offer to erase all your music anytime you plug it into a different computer.
