iTunes help needed.
I had my work (and only) macbook pro laptop stolen out of my house last month (fun! not). I now have a shiny new unibody macbook pro, and am slowly rebuilding my archives from scattered backups here and there, but of course didn't back anything up since early November.
I've got a 8gb Nano that has music, video, and photos that I would like to salvage, but I can't for the freakin' life of me figure out how to copy content FROM the ipod onto the new computer.
I have successfully transferred purchased content, but that's the only thing that Apple makes simple.
Any hints?
When I had my (sadly preventable) external hard drive crash, I was able to get all the music content off my iPod using a utility program called Senuti (iTunes backward!) -- it opened the iPod as an external drive, so that the song files and their markup tags could be accessed. That was on a Mac, so it should be applicable to your situation!
Does anyone have any idea how secure an iPhone wireless connection is? Assuming that you're not using an open wireless connection, is it safe to do private transactions like banking? I mean, I'm thinking that it's no different from me using my secure wireless network in my house, but I thought I'd check.
I wouldn't bank over an iPhone, but I have no idea how rooted in reality that paranoia is.
ION, does anyone know if there's a PPC-supported version of Chrome for OSX yet? Crossover Chromium is Intel-only and Google's still dragging their heels.

exactly. and would the edge network be safe?
Matt says maybe -- partially it depends on your bank . I'll make hime type more in a minute if you have more questions
Lori, I know how to transfer music from an iPod to a Windows computer, but not for a Mac. this page suggests from free software:

I doubt there ever will be. It would have to have a PPC version of their V8 JavaScript engine. Right now it only supports Intel and ARM.
Theo - thanks!
Now I'm in search of a freeware app that will let me pull some photos off my ipod. I haven't yet resorted to paying for an app that will do that, but might eventually.
Lori, did you search at Versiontracker.com? Links to and user reviews of all kinds of software/freeware/shareware, etc. for the Mac (and, IIRC, other systems): [link]
