My iPod is formatted for Mac and can not get Windows iTunes to recognize it. How do I format it for Windows?
I need serious help! I can not seem to restore my iPod to Windows as it is in MAC format. The windows computer "dings" when plugged in, but is not recognized in iTunes or computer. I have no problem when it is plugged into my MAC!!! PLEASE HELP, this is frustrating!
Hey KitKattz44,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
iPod: How to determine your iPod's disk format
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1335
You cannot use an iPod whose disk is configured for Macintosh on a Windows-compatible computer. However, you can restore the iPod disk to use it with a Windows-compatible computer. To do this, see "Restoring iPod to factory settings." While a Windows formatted iPod may work on a Mac, Apple supports this configuration only with iPod shuffle.
Thanks,
Matt M.

How can I get itunes to download on my PC. I just got an ipod classic for Christmas and can not get Itunes to download. Website goes to downloaded page but i never get a downloading popup. I even turned off my popup blocker.
Make an appointment at the genius bar.
If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away. -
i have tried this 6+ times to "How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" on my wifes mac and can not get it to work!! On my PC no problem but on the MAC it will not work, follow the instructions to the T but no go????
It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.

I have tried since Chrismas to use my Ipod touch and have not been able to! I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes more often then I care to admit! I called support and when I found out there is a charge ($59.95) I declined and hung up. I now can't even download itunes! I guess I find that a little fishy. I was so happy with this gift and now I am so frustrated I am about to return it and never purchase another apple product again! I have gotten nothing but the run around when trying to get assistance for a very expensive music player! HELP PLEASE

L,
If you are asking about your iOS device, you might get a better response in the iOS IWork discussion area. This is the Mac area.
Chances are your document is still somewhere on your device, it's just a matter of where to look. Have you tried using the global Search feature. On a Mac you would use either Spotlight or Finder.

When I hook my ipod up to my mac I used to get the Itunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupted error message. It would then sync all my song to the ipod but when I ejected it, none of the songs would be on the ipod. Now I hook it up and I get the Mac OS X can't repair the disk error message. Then the spinning colored pinwheel pops up and I can't use iTunes. Please HELP!!!!!!
Sounds like your iPod is broken. Take it to Apple or someone else who repairs iPods and see if you can get it fixed, or get it replaced.

I am trying to transfer songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. I also want to transfer the songs I have back in to iTunes. My hard drive went out on my computer and I lost all of my songs, except for on my iPod. I have an iPhone as well and did an update and it wiped out all of my songs. Someone please help me.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion. use your backup copy to put everything back. -
I have an ipod nano 7th generation and can not get it recognised by my Windows 8.1 laptop (it appears briefly on My computer, then disappears). This happened after I updated iTunes to the latest version. Does that have something to do with it?

I am trying to pair my phone to my 2011 Toyota kluger KX-R. I have turned bluetooth on my phone but it keeps searching for devices and can not find any, including my computer.
No worries. Often after iTunes updates you have to reconnect your device in order for iTunes to see it. Happens to me all the time!

I updated from windows xp to windows 7 and can not get into my itunes account. I get the notice that I am only allowed 5 devices and this isn't a new device just an updated one. How do I get to my itunes?
Take a look at Apple's document for authorizations -> iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization.
You can deauthorize all computers from iTunes. All you have to do is click iTunes Store, click your account name in the upper right corner of iTunes, then deauthorize all.
