So I recently upgraded to a G5 from a G3. I used Ollie's iPod extractor to load my 9gig of music onto my new machine, but I don't know how to synch my iPod to my new machine. I don't really want to call apple since I used that program. Can anyone tell me what to do so I can transfer music and video to my iPod from my new iMac now?

After you transfer everything off the iPod (and into your music library), just start iTunes and re-link the iPod to your new Mac. All the music on your iPod will be wiped, then copied over again... should be exactly the same as before when it's done.

You ask me for a hamburger.

Once you've loaded your music from the iPod into the new iTunes library (and you've double-checked to make sure everything's there!), disconnect and reconnect the iPod with iTunes running, and when it asks you if you want to replace the music on the iPod, click 'yes'. Again, double-check to make sure all of your music is in iTunes before you do this!

That's not working. When I disconnect the iPod, it warns me that I should select the icon from the finder and eject it. However, there is no icon on for the iPod in the finder. After I reconnect, it still doesn't popup.

Does your iPod show up in the iTunes source menu? Like by your playlists?

If it does than just click eject to correctly disconnect it.

Yeah, it shows up there, but I'm still unable to load any new material onto it.
