I just bought a MacBook...

[Mjmar]

This is my first time using a Mac, and all that I have to say is WOW! This thing is AMAZING. I was very hesitant on the MacBook due to the screen size, but I can't even notice it. I just have a few questions... First, how do I make my windows iPod a Mac iPod and transfer all of my music? Also, I can't figure out how to sign into iChat with my aim screen name. Other than that, the transition has gone VERY smoothly. I've never used a computer that was this fast! Thank you everyone for all of your help and advice... I am one very happy customer.

Congratulations, and welcome aboard. :D

1) iTunes help pages have an article with info on migrating music. Do a search on the Apple support site or here on MR and you will find plenty of info.
2) I think in the preferences for iChat, you can tell it to use AIM.

Good luck!

yeah, for ichat, just go to preferences and then go to accounts and set it up with your aim

Congratulations. You will be having fun with your new toy for a long time. Are you sure you want to convert your ipod to mac? I am a total mac user for over a year now but have not changed my windows ipod. It just works too good to change.

There is no distinction between the two. I don't think that you even have to reformat going from Windows to OS X.

Plus, you can still use it as a floppy disk in case you need to transfer something to a windows machine. Downside is that you need a windows pc to upgrade iPod firmware.

no idea. sometimes it works completely fine, other times it stalls. idk. maybe cause it's such a popular site, especially with all the current debate over new products/notebook refreshes, the site has too much traffic?
