i have searched high and low, on this site and the internet, without any success. i have found answers to similar problems but not exactly like what i'm experiencing.
my ipod video was synced with my mac. unfortunately, my hard drive crashed recently without any other form of a backup. now i have a problem. i have a replacement pc computer that i would like to use to help me recover my music as a physical hard copy backup for future problems.
i have found ways to extract the files from an ipod using software and without. unfortunately, the ipod was synced with my old mac and i am now using a pc which will not recognize it. i have plugged the ipod into another mac which opens itunes and recognizes my specific ipod (ipod "name") but shows nothing else because it's not the specific computer it should be synced with.
can someone point me into the right direction of where to search for doing the following? I think i need to be able to plug it into a friends mac, recover the files, and then burn to a cd which can then be inserted into my pc. i'm concern about the space of the friends mac but can dump the files into their external hd and proceed from there.
i would think my problem is common, although i can't find the information to proceed. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Byron
