The program I use when trying to sync music between my iPods and computers (and, yes, my wife’s computer too) is Senuti.


If you were on a PC, I’d point you to a slick Windows application called iPodCopy, as I explain in my article How do I get songs off my iPod, but since you’re on a Mac, I’m going to recommend a different program, one that’s freeware, not shareware. The fact that it’s your music and you probably have all the CDs sitting on the shelf (like we do) is irrelevant as far as Apple is concerned.įortunately, there are third-party workarounds for this copy protection design aspect of the otherwise splendid iPod players. Actually, this is a common problem with iPods, believe it or not, even those where you buy a new computer and want to “pair” your iPod with your new computer: by design, Apple iPods bond with a single Macintosh or PC, and every other computer is then only granted “read only” access, just as you’ve found.
