Hi Alex, I'm rushing out to see a client now, but I will reply to your query ASAP after I return home. Hopefully later this morning.
A few questions for you to answer please: What OS X is the new iMac running OS X 10.? What version of iTunes 10.?, 9.? Is the NEW iTunes Library Empty? If not what does it have in it? Just music or Books etc & iTunes Store purchases? Does the iPod only have Music on it? Or does it have photos as well? Is there any iTunes Purchased music (Apple's DRM) songs which need to be authorised for every Mac they're played on? I'll get back to you after your reply to my questions and as soon as I possibly am able to.
