Apple "fixed" my ipod and returned it Windows formatted

Apple "fixed" my ipod and returned it Windows formatted - is there any way to get it back to Mac formatted so it can get updates?

Restore it on your Mac. Restoring will erase and reformat the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Will Apple fix my iPods broken screen?

No. See the following:
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:

Does apple fix an ipod under warranty if the inside screen was slightly cracked even though you cant feel the crack because its on the inside.do they fix that????

ONLY Apple could answer this.
If they determine that the ipod is defective, then warranty will cover it.
If they determine that it is damaged, then the warranty will not cover it.

HELP!!! My iPod is configured in Windows format !!!

Hi all
it is two months I am struggling with making my iPod video to work properly
It can be used to play and sync music, but not videos and photos
I have recently found out that
My iPod is configured in Windows format !!!
When I change the settings it complains that the settings cannot be changed because the software version is too old, but it is not !!
It seems like I am in the middle of a Mac-Microsoft battle.
And it is me paying the consequence for that
Can anybody help???

If it's really a Windows formatted iPod.
AS soon as you connect you iPod on Mac, it really wants to restore you iPod, because a windows formatted iPod will not work with iTunes on Mac.
But if that is not the case, there are other way to restore it, but you will surely lose everything on it.
If you don't mind and really want an Mac Formatted iPod, follow these steps (again, I did it this way and it worked it's up to you to do it)..
1. Connect iPod to you windows PC.
2. Formatted the iPod (in my computer right click on you iPod format).
3. Eject, and connect it to you MAC PC.
4. Open itunes, iTunes will tell you that you iPod might be corrupted or damage, and will want to restore So let it restore (by doing this you will lose everything on your iPod). After it's restored you will have a mac formatted iPod, which WILL not work in a windows PC
thanks

How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format??

How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format?? My Imac is not working at the moment, but I want to use my Ipod on my PC. How do I get my Ipod(mac formated) to get work on my PC??

Use iTunes on the PC to restore the iPod, or install XPlay on the PC without changing the format. Restoring the iPod will erase everything on it.

Apple broke my iPod and refused to fix it, What should I do?

Sometime around the end of September, I downloaded iTunes version 5.0 (I believe). The first time I opened it, it told me I needed to download the software updater for my iPod mini. So I downloaded the Software Updater, then the problems started.
This was two months ago, so I don't remember exactly everything that happened.
I clicked "Update" from the choices, and it was updating my iPod. Then the program froze. I eventually closed it, and my iPod had that file folder icon with the ! on the display. I ran the Updater again, and it froze again. I went to the website, and tried everything, even selecting "Refresh" from the software updater, and it froze again.
The software updater broke my iPod.
So I sent it in for service one month later. I would have sent it in sooner, but when I saw they were going to charge me $30 for shipping to fix their mistake, I was outraged, and sent them an e-mail. They never replied.
So I sent my iPod, and they sent it back unfixed. Over the course of three weeks, I sent them maybe four e-mails, and it took them that long to reply. They told me they have the right to refuse service on any iPod.
And if that wasn't bad enough...
I can't uninstall iTunes off my computer. I want everything Apple-related off my computer, but they did something so I can never get rid of iTunes, I know it.
I'm a young college student. I can't afford to buy another MP3 player. I think Apple, a multi-billion dollar company, can pay to fix my iPod that their program broke.
I just don't get it...

SO you waited a month, got more ticked off and then decided to send it in for $30?
Yes. I know that sounds stupid, but they didn't reply to my e-mail, so I eventually succumbed to their wicked practices and sent it in with a service request.
Do you meanit didn't work or did they tell you they did nothing to it?
There was a letter saying they didn't fix it, and to call a phone number if I had questions. The phone number was just a recording of the letter they sent.
They told you the warranty was void because of something you did to the iPod?
I sent it in for the ! file folder problem, and they didn't fix that. I don't know why.
Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs
Yeah, no kidding.
I've tried that a few times, and the Uninstall program never comes up.
So I downloaded the new version of iTunes, figuring I would try to uninstall the new version. But I can't install the new version. Error #1627 or something.
Have you tried all the links on the iPod Service and Support page?
Yes. When I first got the file folder icon, I did everything on the site. Tried resetting it, and nothing happened. Tried putting it in disk mode, but nothing happened. Left it plugged in for hours. Did it while it was plugged in, nothing. Unplugged it and tried again, nothing.
It's been unused for nearly 2 months now.
I just want them to fix it. Is that so much to ask? Their program caused the stupid ! folder icon to come up and keep my iPod from working. Yet they refuse to help me. It took them 3 weeks to answer my e-mail, and all they did was send me the same form letter I got with my returned iPod, and on the phone.
I swear, I am never buying another Apple product as long as I live. Awful awful customer service. You can't even get a human response out of anyone.

Fix for "iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes"

This is a possible fix for those with the "iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes" problem. This also fixes those have the update/restore problem (ipod disconnects after clicking update/restore in itunes)
SOLUTION
SOLUTION
I had the exact same problems before, iTunes doesn’t recognize iPod after connecting it, I had to use the restart iPod Service method to get it working.
I tried this on my second computer and it worked perfectly, iTunes recognizes iPod every time I plug it in.
I compared the process/services opened in both computers, and I turned on some services which were previously on disable(excluding iPod Service). Unfortunately I forgot which services it was, so I took some screenshots and compare these with your services.
After modifying the services, I tried plug and unplug the iPod several times without closing iTunes, iPod was instantly recognized by iTunes every time!
I attached the links to screenshots of my automatic services and manual services, ignore the service if its not on your list!
For those don’t know how to open Services, Start -> Run -> “services.msc”

How I fixed my iPod not seen in windows problem

This seems to be a recurring question. I was having lockup problems when trying to either update or attach iTunes to my 60 GB iPod photo. I have a windows pc running XP Pro with all the latest updates. I had the problems on iTunes 5 and the latest 6.0. I also have the latest system software (1.2) on the iPod. I observed that the problems seem to occur as soon as I had put a substantial number of songs on the iPod. I have antivirus software but determined that was not the problem since excluding the iPod for scanning and totally disabling the software did not help. I am using USB 2.0 ports for my iPod and not FireWire.
What I did that seems to have fixed the problem was to disable the power save option for the USB ports in windows. I suspect that while iTunes is cranking away trying to figure out what to do with the thousands of songs in my library, the USB port is unused enough to put it into power save mode. I could be wrong but when I disabled this feature in windows I found it immediately fixed the problem and I have not had any problems with my iPod on this computer since. Here is what to do on XP:
Go to the control panel and pull up the System control.
Get into the Hardware panel.
Go to Device Manager.
Find the Universal Serial Bus Controllers device and open it up.
You will see devices called USB root hub 2.0 and USB root hub.
Double click on them to open up the devices and get to the Power Management tab.
Disable the power save feature for them and press OK.
That should be all you need to do.
One other useful thing in power management is to see the total current drain of each of the devices on the USB ports in use. Make sure that you don't have devices on there that exceed the 500 mA that the ports can source. One iPod alone is not going to be a problem but it is worth checking if you have multiple devices on there. The power management screen on the PC will tell you what the load is from each device.
The other critical thing I found was to make sure that your iPod is charged up before you try a big update. The battery can drain in the middle of a large sync and that causes havoc because the USB port is not a battery charger even though it supplies power to the iPod.
I hope this helps. It sure helped me.

This is a good point. USB ports are very limited in the amount of power they can supply to a device. Since the iPod is charging a rather large battery from this power, it's well worth the trouble to give the iPod it's own USB connection, one that is not shared with any other devices. Really, this isn't iPod specific, it goes for anything that's charging from the USB port.

Will apple fix broken ipods?

will apple fix a broken 60 gig ipod 5th Generation

The dent would suggest physical damage which won't be covered under warranty. Try leaving the device on charge overnight, toggle the hold switch on and off a few times, then attempt to reset it by pressing the menu and select buttons together for at least six seconds. If you get any sign of life out of it at all the post Corrupt iPod classic may help troubleshoot the device further.

How do I transfer my photos and music from windows format iPod to my new iMac

I have just purchased a new imac and want to transfer my photo's and music from my windows formatted ipod to the imac, can you help? is there a download that can do this transfer?

Fortunately, you are going from Windows to Mac. Macs can use the Windows disk format, so your iMac can read data off of your Windows-formatted iPod. The reverse would not be true, because a Windows PC cannot read data off of a Mac-formatted iPod.
However, iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod. You cannot use iTunes to sync song files from iPod to computer. But there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the songs files are on your iMac's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.
NOTE: Ideally, you should transfer your complete iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer. If that is possible (you still have access to your old computer with its iTunes library intact), and want to try that (instead of using your iPod as the data source), you can post back.
Photos are different. When iTunes syncs photos to the iPod, they are optimized for the iPod's small screen and stored in a single database file (to save storage space in iPod). Therefore, the images are at lower resolution on the iPod, and there is no way to extract individual photos from the database using software on your iMac. The only exception is IF you had a setting enabled in iTunes when you synced the photos to the iPod. That setting is on the iPod's Photos screen in iTunes (where you set up syncing for photos) for Include full resolution photos when syncing. If that option was checked, you can enable disk use for the iPod and look in the Photos folder using Finder to retrieve the photos.
NOTE: There may be third-party software that can extract individual photos from the iPod's database file. But they will still be the lower res versions of the original photos.
