I just got my iPod touch in and I was wondering (my macbook comes in on Monday I am assuming abd I really want to use my ipod; but since you have to connect it to itunes before you can actually use it...) that if I hooked my iPod up to this PC so that I could use it, could I use it with my Macbook? Or will I have to erase everything off of my iPod when it connects to the macbook. I have read where pc ipods work with mac but not vice versa. But I wondered if any of you have had this experience and what was the outcome?
Got a tip for us?

yup u will have to erase music that u got from ur pc if u want to sync with the itunes on ur mac.
What if I do not add any songs and I just plug it in so its at the point where I can get on the internet? Will I be able to reconfigure it to Mac when I plug it in my Macbook?
Question about that, too.
How about for a jailbroken iPod Touch? There shouldn't be any need to erase all data except the music/photos/videos, right?
I'm not really sure but I would think anything downloaded directly to the touch would be ok since no computer was involved.
I'm in a similar position and my iPod (nano) already has music from my PC. Do I need to remove all music from my PC iTune library, sync with my iPod to erase the existing songs? Thanks
...there are software that allows you to move your music from your iPod to a computer, search for that.
