How to Reimage a Macintosh Computer (6 Steps)

Attach an external hard drive to your Macintosh that has at least as much storage capacity as the space used on the drive you are imaging. You can skip this step if you already have a second drive with enough free space.
Launch the Disk Utility application from the Applications/Utilities folder.
Select the drive you wish to image by name in the list on the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window. This list will also include drives by their serial number. You should usually ignore these in favor of the named drives; however, select the drive by serial number if you want to create a single image of a drive with two or more partitions.
Choose 'File' > 'New' > 'New Disk Image from...', which will display the name of the drive you have selected.
Select the external drive in the Save dialog. If you wish, select a compression format and encryption method. Compression will create a much smaller disk image which still contains all the information on your original drive. Encryption will require a password before the disk image can be opened; if you lose this password, you will not be able to access the contents of the disk image.
Click 'Save' to create the disk image. Disk imaging can take a long time, especially if you are creating a compressed or encrypted disk image. You can continue to use your Macintosh during this time, but it will run more slowly due to the disk access required by the imaging.

How to Download Songs From a Mac Pro to an iPod

Start your computer and open your iTunes software. The main interface presents you with three main sections. There is a bar on the top that has playback controls, a display window and a search field. Directly below this is the largest window, which contains your music library. It displays the title, artist, album and other song information. On the far left is a navigation window that allows you to switch libraries (say, from music to video), view external devices and organize your playlists.
Plug in your iPod using the USB cable. In a few seconds it should show up in the window on the left under “Devices” as an icon of the iPod.
To place a song from the library on your computer to the iPod, click on the song you want and hold. Then, drag it from the library window to the icon of your iPod. A plus symbol will appear over the iPod. Let go of the mouse button. An arrow rotating in a circle will appear beside the iPod letting you know that the song is being transferred.
To transfer multiple songs, click to highlight any song you want. Then, hold the “?” key and click on the other songs you want. They will all become highlighted. Drag and drop any one of the selected songs. They will all transfer to the iPod. If all the songs are grouped together in the library, you can select the first then hold “Shift” and click on the last. This will highlight and allow you to drag and drop all of the songs at once.
To place all of your music on your iPod, first make sure it has enough space. Look at the bar on the bottom of the iTunes window. In the center it will display the amount of memory your songs take up. Then, click to select your iPod and select the “Music” tab. Your iPod’s available memory will appear on the bottom of the window. If your iPod has enough free space, click the “Sync music” box then click “Sync” in the bottom-right corner. This will erase all the music on your iPod and replace it with the library on your computer (See Reference 1).
