I have an iPod that I have been using with my macbook for a few months. Now that I'm home from college, I want to be able to connect it to my desktop (which is a PC). I have heard about all of your music getting deleted if you hook up an iPod with music on it to an iTunes that doesn't have music. How can I avoid losing all my music? Thanks!

As long as you make sure to have the iPod set to manually manage. It shouldn't delete your music. If it's set to auto sync with your library it can, since it'll update to what's currently in your iTunes library. Since the PC has nothing on it, you would no longer have anything on the iPod because it would update to what's in the library, which is, nothing.. Just make sure you set the ipod to manually manage your songs and you should be fine. I have my iPod connected to my powermac, ibook and PC and I have never had any issues.

you are always best to be cautious, and you're
right to ask first,

your scenario throws up more questions than answers

the best advice is to go to a dedicated ipod itunes site

such as here http://www.ilounge.com/

you will get expert help and it will depend on your ipod whether its mac or

pc formatted. as yours was being used on a macbook it'll be mac and

therefore the pc won't be able to do much with it. this is as opposed to

a windows ipod, which a mac can read.

go to the specialist forum and you'll get specialist advice.

regards:D
