Help with ipod video! Will it delete?? :( Is there any other way!?

Question

I just bought an ipod video recently and i'm extremely happy with it! A thing that's bothering me is that when I put display photos on my ipod for albums: if I change (move) to another computer and want to put the same music, will the pictures go? It took me 4 hours to put for each song an album photo! Will it delete when I move to another p.c??!

Answer 1

Once you hook your iPod to another pc, it is going to ask you if you want to overwrite what is already on the iPod with the new stuff from the NEW iTunes. Just click NO!. Then you can manually put things onto your iPod from another iTunes and leave the other things in tact. But remember iPod is one way only. You can only put things to your iPod (CPU to iPod) and not move them from iPod to CPU. Also you may want to turn off automatic download from the old CPU, because if you move tunes to your iPod from another CPU and THEN went back to your old CPU, you iPOD will start to update from that CPU's iTunes listing and start deleting from the iPOD anything that is NOT in that CPU iTunes
(i.e.... say your old cpu has no Ray Charles tunes and another cpu does, you download all the songs from the old one, go to the new one, manually download the Ray Charles, then hook your iPOD back to your old CPU. Your iPod starts updating, removing the Ray Charles because it isn't listed on THIS computer.)
When working with this example, the best bet is to turn the automatic updates off on BOTH computer's iTunes to iPod.

To answer your question, yes the picture will go away because the new iTunes doesn't have the picture on it.
