okay ... I'll tell him that he was saying his option was to sync and lose all data currently on the iPod Touch I did say there was an option to re-download all purchased items (an Apple rep said he'd have to contact Apple first and set that up) - but he's concerned about NON-Apple purchases - ie: all the tunes he's already ripped from his CDs > I forget the actual verb it uses but it is something like that.

BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT UPLOAD > THE PURCHASED MATERIAL AND DO A BACKUP MANUALLY (also a right click > contextual menu option) right .. so it sounds like the real issue is getting his tunes that he ripped at one time back to his computer - or, he's going to have to rip everything again - which is what I'll tell him he'll have to do thanks Chad - K > > Chad > >> >> Thanks >> K >> _______________________________________________ >> MacOSX-talk mailing list >> MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com >> http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk >
