iPod Owners! Learn This Lesson!
July 28, 2004
Ryan Sims over at Just Watch The Sky learned a hard lesson recently: if you lose all the music on your computer, do not sync your iPod until you’ve figured out a way to get the songs off it.
A hard drive on his G5 crashed, destroying his entire music collection. He installed a new hard drive, installed iTunes and hooked up his iPod. iTunes then asked him if he wanted to sync the iPod and without thinking he clicked “Yes”.
All remaining remnants of his collection were then erased.
Let this be a lesson to all you iPod/iTunes users out there. Your iPod may one day become the only backup you have of a vast music collection. Sync with care!
