What happens if you sync a full iPod with an empty iTunes?
 

I'm fixing a laptop for a mate and I need to get his music to iTunes from the iPod.

I was under the impression that this was a third party program job.

Will the iPod erase if I press sync? If not, what will happen.

I'm scared to try!!

Going to use ipodrip to do it if necessary.

Cheers.

I think it will wipe the iPod. Use a tool to get the music back from the iPod (unless they cahnged this with recent iTunes updates)

Get anapod instead of iTunes. Why people use iTunes still I don't know.

If you connect the ipod iTunes will erase it, as it syncs the ipod with what is on itunes.

That's a bit silly isn't it?

Because it's designed to work seamlessly with the iPod and does the job quite well enough for the vast majority of people? :dozey:

On this subject does anyone know the best way to recreate the iTunes playlist on the PC from the iPod. I'm not bothered about having the music on my pc i just want to be able to update my iPod again after my hard drive crashed.
