Don’t erase the contents of your iPod!


If
you have your own computer or try to connect your iPod to another
computer with iTunes, it is possible to erase the contents of your iPod!

When you connect your iPod to a new computer, iTunes may inform you that your iPod is linked to another iTunes music library…

Do not change the link to any new iTunes music library, this will erase the contents of your iPod!

    Erasing your iPod

    I am not so certain now that it is easy to erase the iPods we set up this summer. I have connected some of these iPods to other computers and did not get an iTunes dialog box asking if I would like to change the link of the iPod to this new instance of iTunes…Has anyone else had any experience with this?
