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

It was just overwhelmingly nattery. Not a big deal.

I synch my iPod through the PC, but I used to plug it into the old Mac, and it would back up the purchased songs. Which were then also niftily on my laptop.
Since the move to a new laptop, it's asking if I want to synch and lose all that content. I did say I wanted to back it up, not to synchronise with the (empty) iTunes install, but that's not the answer.
What do I need to do to set it up for backing up again?
(I also Doubletwist that to the Android devices, so I have a snippet of my collection on all my stuff)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
MacBook Pro just died. Won't boot at all. If I try to boot into safe mode, I don't get past the Apple symbol and the spinning thing. Plus the hard drive made a funny noise while trying to boot.
So I'm guessing it's the hard drive. Luckily, everything's backed-up. Are there any diagnostics I can run from the optical drive? (Just to make sure it's the hard drive that died.)
Or should I just get a new drive, stick it in and see what happens?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Genius bar can help with that. They can connect via external drive they have to see if it's a computer thing, or the boot drive thing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You can run the disk utility from the OS install disk.

How old a version of the OX X install disk can I us? It is (was) running Mountain Lion but I think I'd have to go back two or three versions to find an actual install disk.

How new is your Mac? This might work.
