Uploading from "windows" ipod to mac

my friend wants to upload all his music from his ipod so he doesn't lose it. his ipod is formatted for windows, and i have an upload program on my ibook. i've done this before but way back when, and i can't remember if, by formatting his ipod to mac from windows, will he lose all the music he has on the ipod?
thanks.

I have a similar problem. I bought my son an ibook G4 for school, but his ipod was set up on our PC at home. He plugged in the ipod to the mac and all his files were wiped out. I can bring his ipod home and get everything back, but tell me there is a way to make this work on the mac without having to begin from scratch downloading. The Apple salesperson was sure there was a way, but they won't answer questions like this when you call back. They can only direct you to their website which is tedious.

    You could try restoring your iPod with the last standalone updater which you can download from the link at the top of this page. Just put iPod Updater in the search box at the downloads page: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iPod updater

  • Where do I find notes synced from my iPod to Mac ?

    Where do I find notes synced from my iPod to Mac ?
    I sync via iCloud, everything is up to date except I am running OS X Maverick, I have checked in Mail in my iCloud account: nothing there / checked in the Notes application on the Mac: nothing there. Notes are syncing in the iCloud system preference panel but are nowhere to be found...

    Photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are not included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup which is updated at the first step during the iTunes sync process if the iPhone was being backed up with iTunes on your computer.
    Photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera which is not handled by iTunes.

    Hi Blotontheland,
    Thanks for the prompt reply. The interesting thing is that my Macbook Pro was upgraded today to Yosemite and I still have the spinning wheel on the start up screen before the login page comes up.

    I would like information on how to transition my lightroom library and photos from Windows XP to Mac OS X. I am concerned about maintaining my virtual images as well as library settings.

  • Migrating browsing history from Windows 7 to Mac.

    I created a Firefox Profile and synced from Windows 7 to Mac.
    Only a small amount of my browsing history was migrated (from 9 July 2013 onwards).
    There are approximately 47 500 entries going back to September 2010.
    I downloaded the History Export add-on and tried exporting my browsing history in the .html format. Firefox kept crashing and I could not complete this.
    Is there any way to migrate my entire browsing history to my Profile and my Mac?
    Many thanks
