This is tricky, Betty! What they told me when I bought my iPod is that
it only "syncs" to one computer. What that means is, anything in
iTunes on the designated "one" computer, that is what syncs to the
iPod Touch. I can download blogs to my iPod Touch through iTunes. Also
sync my calendar, contacts, etc. But as far as I can tell, the iPod
Touch doesn't sync in two directions -- only from the "one" computer
to the iPod Touch. (So if you want to sync between computers, you have
to somehow copy the iTunes files between computers.) From what I can
gather, anything that cannot appear in iTunes -- will not appear on
the iPod Touch. If you have songs, video's, whatevers, on the iPod,
they will not transfer (or sync) from the iPod to the computer. It's a
one way street. So you have to get whatever to install into iTunes,
and then sync to the iPod Touch, to effect the transfer.
Alternatively, of course, you can post the video to your website and
Cavan can access it through the Touch if he has a wifi connection.
As you know, I'm not much musically, so I haven't played around much
with CD's, etc, as yet. But this is the case with Podcasts and talking
books, etc, and I assume it's the same for anything video. Good
luck! Mical

Subject: iPod Touch question
I had one of Cavan's dance competition videos that I was going to give
him yesterday to put on his iPod Touch. When he attached it to both my
Mac and MacBook it not only didn't appear in iTunes, it didn't
appear on
my desktop either. I know that unauthorized iPods don't always
appear in
iTunes. I expected to be able to give him the video by copying it
directly
to the iPod from the desktop.
What happened? Does the iPod Touch not work as a flash drive on
unauthorized Macs? Does it have to be jailbroken? Can I transfer the
video via WiFi?
