If you have the setting wrong, you could end up messing up your ipod (at least it has happened to me). Try opening up the version you have on your laptop WITHOUT having the ipod plugged in, then go to edit>preferences>syncing and check the box with “disable syncing for all ipods.” This should turn off the auto synch function, and at least let you charge the thing. The other option is to use Winamp, which now supports ipods pretty well. It doesn’t seem to mess anything up, but any changes will be undone when you synch to the itunes on your PC.
I’m not aware of any way to put the music from your ipod onto a clean version of itunes (otherwise I could download the music from my buddies ipod to my computer, which would be sweet…) Anyone know if this is possible?
Nothing will happen to it. Just make sure that when prompted you hit to NOT SYNC IT TO THAT COMPUTER’S LIBRARY or else it will erase all your stuff on it.
I do the same thing.
It will typically prompt you and ask if you want to erase it and sync with that library. Just be sure to read exactly what it says and answer “no” so that it does NOT erase your iPod. Then it should just charge normally for you.
it shouldnt transfer your songs to the empty itunes normally you have to choose to transfer, but it should charge as long as you have your itunes program on your laptop..good luck!
so if i do this will it put all of the music form my ipod to my itunes
