Anyone know how to reformat a Windows formatted ipod to Mac?

Just upgraded my PC to a shiny new MAC but can't for the life of me see how to reformat my Ipod to make it work with the new computer!
All I have suceeded in doing so far is restoring the factory settings and deleting everything that was on my ipod before but it still isn't recognised when I plug it into my Mac! Help!

"All I have suceeded in doing so far is restoring the factory settings"
Did you carry out this restore on a PC? To reformat for Mac the iPod has to be restored in iTunes For Mac. Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode, that may help computer recognise it:

  • CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    Hi Kglad.
    I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
    Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
    here is the new tutorial for CC -  my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

  • Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    If you need to write or modify documents made with Word, Excel, or Powerpoint, then you need Office. Otherwise, you don't. If you already have it then installation just involves double-clicking on the Office Installer's icon.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Anyone know how to synch music to an IPod through Bluetooth ?

    Anyone know how to synch music to an IPod through Bluetooth ?
    Welcome all advice and suggestions...I have an IPad but computer available....desperately trying to synch music to my iPod nano

    Tech support is giving you the official answer because Apple does not provide a transfer from ipod to computer except for items you purchased from the iTunes Store.
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Problem with windows formatted iPod on Mac

    I have a 20gb 4th gen iPod formatted for Windows. I just received a Mini Mac as a gift and now I want to use the iPod on it. When I connect the iPod and run iTunes it recognizes it and updates and does everything it's supposed to do, but if I try to click on any of the items in the menu on the left (Library, Playlists, etc.) iTunes quits completely and the iPod is ejected. I've tried restoring but that makes it quit, too. I've also tried completely erasing everything from the iPod manually (even the hidden files and folders) but that doesn't reformat it. Any suggestions?

    Senuti.
    It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
    As is Music Rescue.
    Both of these should work with a Windows formatted iPod because Macs can read and write to FAT32 formatted drives.

  • Does anyone know how to put 6 windows in premiere pro cc  for multi cameras,  for 6 cameras actually

    Does anyone know how to put 6 wndows in premiere pro cc for multi cameras, for 6 cameras actually.

    The workflow that Jim spelled out is for doing what's called a "multi-cam edit." This allows you to conveniently switch among different video clips, often from multiple cameras that shot the same performance or event. The end result is a segment where only one clip is visible at a time.
    The way I read your question, what you want to do is show six clips all at once, which is typically referred to "picture in picture." To do that, follow the first 3 steps Jim provided. (By the way, in Step 2, the key is to stack the clips on six different tracks, as opposed to lining them up head-to-tail.) Then select each clip in turn and use the Position and Scale controls in the Effect Controls Panel to shrink it and move it where you want within the frame. Here's a tutorial video on this workflow: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-beginner-classes-with-dennis-radeke/episode-7-adobe-premie re-pro-picture-in-picture/.

  • Does anyone knows how to highlight every other row in numbers mac

    Does anyone knows how to highlight every other row in numbers and are there any good tutorials out there???

    Hi Lee,
    Select a non-header cell in the table.
    Open the Inspector and choose the Table Inspector.
    Click to check the 'Alternating Row Color' box in the Cell Background section.
    Click the Color well beside the check box to open the Color pane.
    Choose a colour.
    The alternating colours are applied only to the non-header rows and non-header columns in your table.

  • Does anyone know how to upload footage from an SDHC to mac not using FCP or imovie?

    Does anyone know how to upload footage from an SDHC card on a mac that doesn't involve using Final Cut Pro or iMovie? Those don't have many options for import/encoding settings. They also upload the clips into an enormous file size. I always have to re-export them in MPEG streamclip or Compressor to lower the file size and it's getting annoying. HELP!

    Won't help the size methinks, but does Image Capture work?

  • Does anyone know how to transfer my photos fron iphone to mac

    i have 178 photos n my iphone4 but when i connect up to itunes i cant find the anywhere.  I can click on my phone and select photos but there is only 6 photos.  Does anyone know how to transfer my photos fron iphone to mac

    Use iPhoto. It should show your phone in the left hand column kinda like itunes. It should also give you the option to import your photos. Then it will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone or keep them on it. Whenever I plug my iphone4 into my iMac it automatically launches iPhoto. Sometimes it will not however and I just eject it and plug it in again and then it usually shows up in iPhoto.
