Hi
I recently switched from a G5 to an iMac and am having problems using my iPod. It appears on the desk top but is not recognised in iTunes so I cannot transfer or organise music from my iMac to the iPod. Do I need to 'sync' the iPod to the new computer, and if I do this, will I wipe clean the whole of my music on the iPod? Or do I need to back up all my music on the Cloud in some way. Thanks in advance.
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
Hello John
It all depends on if you started a new iTunes Library or if you migrated your iTunes library. If it is new then yes you will have to start over. If it was migrated from your old Mac then it should sync just fine. Now if you are having issues with it being seen in iTunes, I have provided an article for that issue.
