Recently my girlfriend bought a new laptop and she's prepping her old desktop for eBay. Right now, we're trying to load her iPod Mini onto iTunes on her new computer. Unfortunate…

You have 2 options: Go to versiontracker and find software that will allow you to pull your music in reverse direction back to your new machine. Network the new PB and old desktop…

download iPod Agent

unfortunately, she's on a PC. I zipped her iTunes music folder and copied it onto her iPod as a hard drive and put that on the new machine. For some reason, not all of the music …

Just network the Mac and PC (turn on Windows file sharing on your Mac), and transfer the songs across. Plug in iPod and let it do its thing.

Lots of the reverse apps don't do a very good job with the latest version of iTunes. The easiest way is if you could connect the peecee and Mac and simply transfer the music over…

Re-reading your post, I can't tell if its Mac->PC or PC->PC. No matter which it is, you should just network the 2 machines, share the appropriate Music folder and copy acros…

install the **** software or restore it and then install the **** software thats what happend with my room mate

Which music was missing? Locate these files in the original iTunes installation's playlist - and "right click - get info" and locate them - they may not of been in the expected pl…

hi, i was wondering whether it's possible to 'fake' an ipod; ie make my mac believe that i have an ipod connected to my computer. the reason? i have a large network drive with lo…

How can I tell if my actual speed of connection to the Internet is at or close to its maximum potential? How do I monitor it and optimize it on my Mac?

Right next to DSLReports' speed tests are their Java-based Tweak tests. These tests will determine whether or not your particular computer is set up to efficiently use the availabl…

That tweak page is pretty unclear in its instructions for Mac OS X, and I don't trust that which I don't understand. As for downloading an app whose instructions are in Japanese, w…

As it says on the Mac FAQ page, this little application is pretty self-explanatory. And besides, all the controls and windows of the app are in English. If the Tweak Test says to…

Skeptical at first, I went ahead and downloaded the app. There's this nifty "Optimize" button that chooses better settings for you. You hit apply and indeed, your connection immedi…

I'm glad you got good results, and I don't blame you for being a little skeptical about an app that has all its instructions written in a language you don't read. But, as you foun…

Nah, my connection still sucks. Initially I thought the tweaks helped, but it was short-lived at best. Speed tests all have me downloading at over 3Mbps, a good clip (about what's …
