I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I never managed to mount my sister's Touch on her new laptop. The Apple store is telling her she needs to buy a piece of software so she can access an unpaired iPod as a hard drive in order to copy the music off and add it to the library and *then* pair the iPod.

Does that make sense? I know it didn't use to be that way. I want to be sure before she pulls the trigger on the software purchase.

SenutI is the software I know of: [link]

I haven't used it in years, but it worked great back then.

Yes, it does make sense. It's copy protection reasons. So you can't grab your buddies iPod and snag all their songs into your library.

I guess I got lucky then, because that's exactly how I backed up my iPod, or transferred my tunes to a new computer--using the iPod as a hard drive with no extra software. In through the window...

Wait, is there a senutI equiv for PCs? She can't mount it on a PC. I didn't think you could ever mount it on a Mac...

Me too. When my computer crashed, I was able to transfer the songs from my iPod to the new computer. It was a nightmare of reformatting, but the data was there.

Huh. Cool. I just found a system backup tool that will copy my Win 7 "libraries" and app data folders, etc, to my network drive on a daily schedule.

I don't know if it's supported by IT, but I just took a load off of my shoulders.

Kinda looks like one of the grad students here, if he let his beard grow out.
