Hi all
Due to my own stupidity I have had to reinstall a system on an eMac.
I didn't lose anything of any importance fortunately, except for my
wife's songs loaded on iTunes. When she attaches the iPod it warns
her if she continues it will wipe it!
Is there any way we can reinstall the songs from the iPod to the
eMac without physically doing it with all the cd's?
Any clues much appreciated.
Regards
Peter
Hello Peter,
What version iTunes & OSX are you using?
Is this iTunes completely empty ... no songs?
Are sure your iTunes Library is not in Home > Music - iTunes folder?
You can use iPod Rip.
It will not only copy all the music from your iPod to your Mac —
including music purchased from the iTunes Music Store and audiobooks —
but do so while maintaining the playlists you’ve created.

"Put control of the iPod back in your hands with the ultimate iPod
companion. iPodRip supports recovering your songs and playlists,
playback of audio files and much more."
Another Application that is very good is Senuti:

NB: To STOP iTunes from auto-syncing with the iPod:
While connecting the iPod to your computer, be sure to hold down the
Command + Option keys to prevent iTunes from auto-syncing with your
iPod.
If you don't do so, iTunes may automatically erase the contents of
your iPod!
Cheers,
Ronni
