I saw that I tunes is no longer available. is it possible to transfer my music from my old iPod to my new Mac? if so do I need special software? I tried just plugging it in with a 30pin to a c to my MAC. the iPod shows up on the left of the screen and disappears almost right away. anyway any tips/help would gladly be appreciated.
