iPod switching

Ok, so I got my nice new MacBook up and running and it is SUPER DUBER fast with its 2gb of ram.

Anyway, I need to set my ipod up with my mac and download all the music onto the hd. I also want to convert it from a pc ipod to a mac ipod (its a video ipod) so i can update it.

thanks!

Can't answer the 2nd part of your post, sorry.

You would probably do it with the disc that came with your iPod.

Well, I'd say you should. Macs can read and write to FAT32, as well as HTFS and HTFS+. However, Windows can not use HTFS(+) drives. Unfortunately, Macs can only read NTFS drives, they cannot write to them.

Make sure everything's backed up before you reformat, though. The drive's contents will be lost.
