How Not to be a Happy iPod User

  1. Put your entire MP3 collection on both your work and home computers
  2. Arbitrarily decide your iPod should “autoSync” with your work computer
  3. Realize that your MP3 collection is taking up way too much space on your work computer, and figure you’ll just start listening straight from your iPod
  4. Delete your entire MP3 collection from your work computer
  5. Forget to turn off AutoSync
  6. Plug iPod into work computer, with great anticipation of listening to your fantastic music collection.

OK, this was totally my fault, but would it have killed Apple to throw in an “Are you SURE you want to delete your entire 30 MB music collection off of the iPod, you dummy?” message box?

Of course, I can go back home and set that computer up to autoSync, so I’m only sans musique for a day, but it’s still a bummer.

  • Hey Jeff,

    thanks again for the gamil a long time back… I just wanted to reccommend that you drop iTunes and use XPLAY for you ipod. This will make your Ipod ‘basically’ a plug and play drive… it made my life a whole lot simpler!
