I-pods and i-tunes

[bristolseagull]

Ok, im a bit unsure of something, can i use 2 i-tunes library's on my i-pod?

i have i-tunes on my pc, and a different one on my lap top, my i-pod is synced with my pc, what will happen if i plug it into my lap top?

if you have the same itunes contents on both computers it will work..

and if you don't, it'll start syncing up anything thats on the one its plugged it to it hasn't got... amazing design flaw they've never rectified, erm, 5 revisions of hardware and 4 of software in.

ok, what happens if i dont?

If you told your Ipod to automatically update (1st time you used it) it should automatically update on your laptop, wiping any songs you have on your Ipod.

Not 100% sure, but I think thats what happens

 

[bristolseagull]

even "bought" music? surely not?

 

[Djmiles]

So if you have songs A,B,C and D on your PC.

And songs E,F,G and H on your laptop....

If you plug your Ipod into the laptop, it will wipe songs ABCD and replace them with EFGH.

Again, I think

stop rising to his nonsense

just don't let the i-pod sync automatically, in the options you can tell it do it manually sorts the problem with no hassle

download anapod manager its available on torrent sites full version. will not wipe anything from ipod.

It's not a design flaw though is it, it's clearly deliberate. The idea is that it stops people being easily able to transfer music from someone else's pc (i.e. that they don't own) onto their iPod. I'm not saying that it works particularly well, but it is clearly by design.

"Its a feature not a bug!!!"

Its a completely hindering "feature" that no other media player maker does - even other ones that sell music (Microsoft). So, its a design flaw. One they and some others will desperately try and pass off as a 'feature'.

Have you tried turning them off and turning them on again?
