How do I transfer all my music and videos from my IPod, to my new Apple laptop?
I actually have 2 IPods (1 video, 1 old non video) - I would like to transfer all of the music and movies and videos, to my new Apple Laptop. Also, I would like to keep it from automatically updating. How do you do this? Do you know any good free software for music burning programs, other than itunes, and comparable to Roxio?

To stop auto updates: 1. Plug in your ipod. If you have iTunes installed, make sure you go to Edit, Preferences 2. Choose the iPod tab and check "update manually" Now do one of these two steps to view hidden files: 1. Go to Finder and search for “com.apple.finder.plist†Click on the file and search for the line, AppleShowAllFiles FALSE. Change FALSE to TRUE 2. Open the terminal and type “defaults write com.apple.finder. AppleShowAllFiles TRUE†and hit return. To refresh Finder, type “killall Finder†and hit return. If you want to hide them type “defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE†and press return. To refresh Finder, type “killall Finder†and press return. After you're able to see your hidden files, navigate to your iPod drive and copy the files to your hard drive. The song names will appear as 4 letters in your iPod folder. ex: ALBG, ALCW.
