[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 757105, member: 61193"] I hope someone else will correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think the account you use on the Mac will make any difference. It is the account used in iTunes which does. As long as your wife used the same email address and password when logging in to the iTunes Store on each machine, the music will work on all of them. If the kids have used a different email address to buy their music, your wife will not be able to play that - which is most likely to be the reason some of the music is not compatible. If you are sure you have everything backed up, then you should be safe to reformat and update the iPod - as you no longer have a PC. Please double check that backup. There is no going back once you reformat the iPod and Apple will not let you download the music again without paying for it a second time. Good luck. I have never tried it, but it seems that Senuti might help you to make a backup of your music from the iPod. Try reading [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/ipod-iphone-software-apps/130090-does-senuti-remove-ipod-contents-just-copy.html"]this[/URL] post. Edit - I just tried Senuti and it looks good so far. Might be worth trying that before you risk the reformat. [/QUOTE]
