Senuti Plug

My iTunes library is on a dusty Dell PC that looks like the Millennium Falcon. I have my Mac laptop – but the iTunes Library there is (so far) empty – and I have done all my music stuff on the Dell, mainly because it pre-dates the Mac – but how to get the iTunes from one computer (which has no wireless, no Internet – I’ve basically kept it around because it has all my damn music on it) to the other.

I wanted to take what was on my iPod and somehow transfer it directly onto my Mac. Anyone who has an iPod knows that it goes the other way around. You make changes on the computer, transfer it over to the iPod, etc.

My iPod was LOCKED, I tell you! I still did what I needed to do on the Millennium Falcon but I yearned to be free! I’m not a big techie, as should be obvious – and frankly I get overwhelmed by technology and sometimes don’t even feel that I am asking the right questions. It’s the whole “you don’t know you don’t know it” thing.


So I spoke out loud to two much more savvy friends maybe a month ago, “I just wish that I could transfer what was on my iPod TO my computer … ”

They said, “Try Senuti!” (iTunes backwards, naturally). I finally got around to it last night. You download the application (there are also very handy little videos made for idiots like me who need to SEE what is happening – and have someone go: “See this little doohickey over here on the right hand corner? Click THAT”) – and then open up iTunes, but for the love of all that is holy, keep your finger on Control and Option the entire time – and plug in your iPod not letting go of Control and Option, sweet JesusmaryandJoseph, be careful – otherwise you are in danger of “syncing” your iPod up to the computer – which you do not want to do because the iTunes has nothing on it yet!! You’d erase your entire iPod. So I got through all that. Open up the application. There are all my songs. And you just click on each one and click the green “Transfer” button.

It worked. Like a charm.

I was totally impressed with the instructions, the simplicity of the program itself, and how well it has worked. I feel free now.

I’m really into The Puppini Sisters these days, if anyone cares.

I just have this strange relief at having solved the problem – by myself – and it all worked. That almost never happens in my universe. And while I did have a couple of starts and stops – it’s all done now.

I can toss the Millennium Falcon into the trash. FINALLY.

    As I was reading your little asterisk matter, I actually saw the words, “This advertisement for Senuti has been brought to you by the letter M. For free.”

    Weird little pre-K glitch in my head today…

    I held my breath through the whole /They said, “Try Senuti!”/ paragraph. Yay for you!
