![]() ![]() When you’re done copying what you want off the iPod, quit Senuti, go to iTunes and click “Cancel” then eject the iPod and unplug it. Here you can see I am grabbing a copy of The Incredibles, which proves pretty small because it’s in the older, smaller video format from the iTunes store, a size that’s good for the tiny iPod screen, but definitely not so good for a computer screen. That’s pretty easy, isn’t it? To copy a movie, just find it in Senuti, select it, and again click on the copy button: Senuti then copies those music files onto my computer: I just want to grab Hawaiian artist Henry Kapono’s splendid Dukes on Sunday album, which I do by selecting all the tracks and clicking the downward arrow on the top right. The iPod data in this screenshot starts with “Biz Vids” and goes all the way down to “U2”. Everything in “Library” and “iTunes”, by the way, are files on your computer, not on the iPod, so ignore those. You can simply select everything here, or you might just want a subset of the files to drop onto your computer. Just let iTunes show you that dialog box while you launch Senuti. Needless to say, do not click on “Erase and Sync”, whatever you do! In fact, don’t click on anything. Basically you’ll copy everything onto your Mac, let iTunes reformat the iPod and “pair” with it, drag and drop all of the old stuff into iTunes, then copy it back onto your iPod, good as new.ĭoubtless when you plug in your iPod you get this scary message: For many uses, that’s great, but when you get into a pickle like you’re talking about, well, then it’s your worst enemy.įortunately, Mac software developers have been hard at work and utilities like Senuti can actually make copying data off your old iPod onto your computer a breeze. You’re by no means the first person to find problems with the half-hearted digital rights management (DRM) that Apple uses with its iPod and iTunes software to sidestep the little devices being music copying tools.
