chapter 2: the ipod sync connection 55
iPod-to-Computer
Copying
Once you have installed TinkerTool on your Mac, you’ll see an icon for it in System
Preferences. Click TinkerTool; in the box that pops up, turn on “Show hidden and
system files, and then click the Relaunch Finder button. Figure 2-14 shows the way.
When the Finder restarts, you see all the formerly secret invisible system files right
there on your screen, as though someone had spilled paint on the Invisible Man.
You see a lot of .DS_Stores all over the place, but step over them and connect your
iPod to the Mac. (Make sure you’ve turned on its FireWire disk feature as described
in Chapter 11.)
Double-click the iPod’s icon to see all the files that live on it, including the
iPod_Control folder that holds all of your music files (Figure 2-14, bottom). You
can click through the folders from iPod_ControlMusicF00 (all the iPod’s mu-
sic folders are named F-something) and drag the files you wish to copy to your
Mac’s own hard drive.
Figure 2-14:
Top: Turn on the box in the
Finder options to show
hidden and system files in the
TinkerTool Finder preferences
box, and you’ll see a lot more
on your iPod after you
relaunch the Finder.
Bottom: With the hidden files
out in the open courtesy of
TinkerTool, you can browse
the iPod’s contents like any
other hard drive.
