    the prodigal mac user returns

    So after many fruitful years on a PC, I'm a mac user again. I left in the early OS9 days so suffice to say a lot has changed. I've been around OSX a lot but only co-workers machines so I lack the day-to-day experience.

    Issue 1. My iphone is synced to my macbookpro at home, so obviously when I connect it here at the office iTunes wants to wipe it and re-sync. A more dickish move I've not seen. It was never a problem on windows because winamp will natively recognize it and just play the damn songs. Does anyone know of a way to do get around this?

    Press "No" when it says "Would you like to sync?"

    Pressing "No" doesn't get the music from the iPhone/iPod to the computer.

    not regarding your mac issue, but I recently moved to a macbook pro as well, after my laptop's video card got fried.

    As it was an emergency migration, I decided to install vista to keep the same software and environment.

    I've had the mbp for a few weeks now, and have only booted to OSX three times. However, I'm seriously considering moving to OSX completely in a couple of weeks

    How to stop syncing ... preferences>devices and select "Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically". I don't have my iPod on hand (left it at home in the dock), but I believe that allows you to manage it without syncing.

    Wait where is the fail? Just check that box and you won't have auto syncing anymore...

    was that meant for you failing?

    Hmmm ... jAQUAN's right. I found my shuffle in my bag and hooked it up and it doesn't work. Odd, because I can swear the last time I hooked up my iPod to my work system (a 3g version ... batteries shot to hell, but still works when docked) it allowed me to copy songs to it and create playlists. Then again, that was more than a month or so ago (maybe 2) ... pre-iTunes 9 for sure.

    You'd still be in the same position on the PC as well - just... some options do exist there. Guess the Mac users don't want/need alternatives.

    VM Fusion, Bootcamp. Windows still not an option?

    Certainly, I just don't want to take advantage of their software budget. They've been generous enough as it is.

    It's all about the love. Macs need love. If it's not working how you want it to that simply means you don't love your mac enough.

    Are you referring to Adobe's cross-system and out-dated keyboard shortcuts? They don't bother changing them for Mac, wish they would.
