[QUOTE="hexonxonx, post: 595702, member: 33873"] I hope you realize that you DON'T need to format an iPod when moving from a PC to a Mac. You will have to delete the music from the iPod once you get to the Mac because the iPod can only sync from one computer. You will just have to load all your music and videos back onto the iPod. The only drawback to leaving the iPod formatted to a PC is that when there are new firmware updates, you will have to use the PC to update the firmware. It will not delete your music once you update. After the update is finished, you simply go on to syncing as you were with the Mac until the next firmware update. This is how I have my iPod Classic setup and it works well. [/QUOTE]
