My iTunes library is 37.76 GB for 5768 songs which means that each song is 0.006546463245492GB in size, this means that your friends library contains approx 1833 items. I have Sentui and do actually use it quite regularly, it's worth the small amount it costs for the full version, however you could probably get the whole iPod off onto the iMac on the trial if you can be bothered to mess around a little. After that first sync, everything is back to normal and the world can carry onīut yes - you can move data file from a PC to a Mac, and you can move them from a Mac to a PC if you a) so wished and b) had the files on at least one of the machines in the first place! However, iTunes will STILL insist on wiping the iPod next time it's asked to sync with it, but since we will have the SAME songs in the library, what is wiped off the iPod will be sync'd "back" to it during iTunes first sync. Those files can then be put into iTunes to populate a library, a library that will be identical to that of the iPod. Hence why needing an application that can not only read the filestructure and metadata on an iPod and interface with it, but also copy the files to a folder location on the local hard drive of the computer/mac. And as we know, sync is a one way affair between iTunes and iPod you can sync TO the iPod, but not FROM it. So now the ONLY back up of this music is on his iPod. Problem is, as I said in my first post, my friend is a muppet and instead of putting his 12gb of music, that was on his PC, into a folder on his external hdd, then transferring it onto his iMac, instead he deleted it. If you have WiFi 6 adapters, there should be a small increase in throughput which should help you take better advantage of that gigabit internet connection.Files are files - you can move them from whatever computer to whatever computer however you like network transfer, on a CD/DVD, external hdd, flash stick (can't think of anymore ways? lol) Ubiquiti recently released their PoE and non-PoE versions of the Switch Lite, and also WiFi 6 APs (nothing available to the public yet with regards to WiFi 6e), so you can look into those. With regards to a firewall, the USG, UDM-Pro or EdgeRouter are very capable machines, but a pfSense box will give you finer controls and better performance for CPU-intensive tasks. If you’re a home user, I don’t quite see the need for paying annually it makes more sense for businesses who have to upgrade large volumes of hardware on a frequent basis. Brand alternatives usually include support with your subscription. Support directly from the company is limited, but you can get good support from the public online community. Of course, this comes with a few caveats. As a matter of fact, Ubiquiti still allows you to use a locally-hosted controller whereas many other brands do this in the cloud, hence the annual charges. Until now, you don’t have to pay a yearly license/subscription to use their equipment or controller. Ubiquiti provides something that is unique in this type of arena. I guess some day I could get a compatible box and run pfsense or ipfire, but further down the road. I’ve been happy with ubnt, I just wanted to get input to make sure I wasn’t overlooking other good options.
