Migrate iPod from Windows to Apple

Anybody knows how to migrate the iPod library from a PC to an Apple iBook?
Now I have all my library in a PC, but next month I will buy an iBook.
First that I will have is to format my iPod into HFS+ (file system of Apple), but how I can recuperate all my songs? Because I have more than 4700 songs and 10 videos.
Thanks.

You don't have to. It'll work fine in the PC format.
If you have to update using the Mac, it'll be in Mac format though.

You can also network the Mac to the PC and drag them onto the Mac.

  • Migrating iPod from Windows to Mac

    I've just given up on my creaky old PC and have a new Mac, but my iPod still has Windows software. I think I saw a tech note which told me what I have to do to move my iPod into Mac, but I can't find it and it's not intuitive.

    It is very intuitive. Just plug it into your Mac!
    OK first off, do you already have your music stuff moved over to the Mac?
    When you plug the iPod into the Mac, a Mac can read and use a Windows formatted iPod, so you can either leave it Windows formatted or you can perform a restore on it which will erase and reformat it in Mac format.
    If you leave it in Windows format, it will tell you that it is currently linked to another library (your old Windows library) and do you want to instead use it on your Mac's library. If you say yes, it will erase everything and sync your Mac library onto it, but the iPod will still be in Windows format.

  • Convert iPod from Windows to Mac

    I've been using my iPod (30GB) with Windows and am just now switching everything to a new MacBook Pro. Do I need to do anything to switch my iPod from Windows to Mac, or does it just sync with the new Mac without my having to do anything?

    Macs can read Windows formatting so your iPod should work Fine on your MacBook. However if you don't intend using the iPod on Windows again you should consider restoring it and formatting it on the Mac. If you keep it in Windows format you'll have to connect it back to a PC to make any firmware updates otherwise the formatting will be changed. One other thing, if you haven't transferred your music from the PC to the Mac you won't be able to sync the iPod if you do you'll lose what's on it. To be sure you don't accidentally erase the content you should set the iPod to manual update until your music is on the Mac.
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting to your new computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings: iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts for OSX
    Just some additional information in regard to moving the music from your iPod in case you no longer have the PC. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7 A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Senuti Mac Only
    iPodRip Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    iPodAccess Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    PodUtil Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

  • How do I reprogram my ipod from Windows to Mac?

    How do I reprogram my ipod from Windows to Mac?

    Connect the iPod.  Decline any offers from iTunes to sync it, if this is the first time the iPod has been connected to the Mac.  When the iPod appears in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, select it there.  Over to the right, on the Summary tab, there is a Restore button.  Click it.  Follow the prompts.
    Restore will erase the iPod and install the latest software, using default settings.  If it is connected to a Mac when you do the Restore, it will use Mac formatting during the erase.  That's basically the only difference.  The software is the same, so it is not really "reprogrammed."

  • Transfering my ipod from windows to mac

    i've been tying to reformat my ipod from windows so i can use it with my new mac book pro, but i can't find the cd my ipod came with and obviously my mac won't read it. what can i do????

    I am also wondering how to do a similar thing. I just got a Macbook Pro and have a 5th gen. iPod that I have quite a few songs on. When I first got the iPod, I was running it on a PC. I have heard that to use it on my Mac, without erasing the few songs that I have in my new iTunes, that I need to restore my iPod on my old computer and set it to run with a Mac and then plug it into my Mac to completely re-write all of the songs onto it.
    Is this right?

  • Is there a migration assistent from windows to Leopard?

    My new MacBook Pro runs de Snow Leopard... I would like to transfer my files from my PC, but can't find a migration assistent from windows to Snow Leopard... just from windows to Lion...

    There is no migration assistant for Windows to Snow Leopard. But you can transfer your files to an external drive that has been formatted FAT32 as the Mac can read and write to a FAT32 formatted drive.

  • Can i change the license platform from windows to apple OS

    Hello,
    i've licensed an adobe acrobat 9.0 for windows. Now i changed to apple. Is there a possibility to switch the licensed platform from windows to apple os?
    Regards, Thomas

    Platform swaps only apply to the latest release versions of Adobe products, so your Acrobat 9 will not qualify.  You might be able to get it working on the Mac if you install a Windows emulation program.
