Backing up an Ipod

[DrenalinJunkie]

I just recieved a used Ipod I bought from a fellow TBHer and there are files on it I want to keep.

I know if I add my stuff it will erase the existing files.......... how do I back them up so I can keep them (the ones on the ipod already)

I have always wondered the same thing, I always thought it was 1 or the either and couldnt keep both

I was told if you select to manually manage files it should keep them but I am not 100% sure

Plug the iPod into your computer It should sync and backup. The sane with iPhone. At least mine does.

I think you can just copy and drag them into a file stored on your desktop

What is yours?

Does anyone know if this works on ALL ipods?

If you sync, you will overwrite what is on the iPod with your iTunes selection. Use a separate file manager, e.g. iPhone explorer, which also works for iPod, to access the files on your iPod to copy them over before you sync w/iTunes.
