I was able to copy the songs onto my Mac from the iPod after I reloaded them from my old computer onto the iPod by updating & then setting the upload to manual insteaed of automatic. But no playlists. Not a big problem.
I am AMAZED at the differences in picture quality from the old HP computer to the Mac. The whites are really WHITE! It makes my pictures look so much better! I didn't even have to learn to take pics better - just needed this new computer! ;)
