54 ipod & itunes: the missing manual
iPod-to-Computer
Copying
Once you install iPod Viewer, open the program with your iPod attached to the
Mac; click your Poddy little pal in the list. The programs preferences let you arrange
your songs in the order you want. Then, when you click the Import From iPod but-
ton at the top of the iPod Viewer window (Figure 2-12), the program pulls in the list
of everything on the iPod.
OmniWeb
Yes, OmniWeb is a Web browser. But in addition to surfing the Net with it, you can
also surf the hidden contents of your iPod and copy songs back to your computer.
The OmniWeb browser sells for $30, but you can download a trial copy from the
“Missing CD page at www.missingmanuals.com. (Although paying for a Web browser
may seem like a bizarre idea, OmniWeb has some wonderful features like spell-check-
ing, ad-blocking, and automatic bookmark-updating.)
To use OmniWeb to browse the iPod, drag the iPod icon off your desktop and into
the browser window. (See Chapter 11 for details on making the iPod appear on your
desktop.)
A list of all the files on the iPod appears, including the elusive iPod_Control folder.
Double-click iPod_Control, and then the folder within it titled Music, shown in
Figure 2-13. You see a list of folders, all starting with F. Within these folders lie your
songs. Double-click the songs you want to copy to the Mac; OmniWeb does the rest.
TinkerTool
You know how in those Invisible Man movies, people could only see him if he had a
hat or a coat or a mask on, or spilled something on his invisible self? It was all about
revealing the hidden aspects.
You can do the same thing with your invisible iPod files with the aid of some helpful
freeware by way of Germany. TinkerTool, available on the “Missing CD page at
www.missingmanuals.com, is a system utility for Mac OS X that can make hidden
files visible.
Figure 2-13:
After you drag the
desktop iPod icon
onto the OmniWeb
browser window,
the program clearly
displays the secret
iPod_Control folder.
Inside iPod_Control
is the Music folder
and the iPod’s secret
stash of songs.
