iPod

Hey,
My mum has an iPod classic 160GB which has tons and tons of music on. I wish to put a video file onto it using my system. If I plug the iPod into my system and open iTunes, will it remove all her music or will it just add the video and be happy with that?

It will sync with your library, causing it to erase everything that's not in your iTunes library. So yes, it will erase all her music.

But isn't there a way to disable that?

It won't do anything because it's not registered to that system, and you can only go iTunes > iPod not the other way round (except for ratings and playcount which combine).

Enable disk use on your iPod and add it via My Computer. Alternatively you could use SharePod to get it off your iPod but I don't know if it works with video.
