[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1155199, member: 140470"] 1. If you only have one copy of those files on your external then you really should get either another external hard drive to create a backup or burn those files onto DVDs. If you only have one copy of something then you don't have a backup. Anyway s2odin's method works. Just double check to make sure all your files are transferred over to your Mac before formatting. 2. If you want to transfer all your playlists and music over to your Mac then you can also use iTunes' built-in backup to DVD feature: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382]How to back up your media in iTunes[/url]. What's nice about doing it this way is that you also have a backup of your music and iTunes playlists in case anything happens. [/QUOTE]
