Anapod Reinitializer is a free, lightweight utility for reformatting and reinitializing your iPod. Its function is equivalent to the Restore button in the Apple iPod Updater utility. Anapod Reinitializer runs on all versions of Windows, so it allows Windows 98/ME users (who cannot use Apple's software because it only runs on 2000/XP) to format their iPods.
Anapod Explorer 8.7.3
Anapod Explorer is hands-down the most advanced Windows software companion for your iPod. Anapod can copy and backup iPod music and playlists to your PC and integrates your iPod into Windows Explorer as a full-fledged device under My Computer, allowing you to transfer files to your iPod as well and use a familiar Explorer interface to manage on-board music, playlists, contacts, notes, and more. Also included are a built-in database called AnapodSQL and a one-of-a-kind web-based streaming interface to your iPod called Anapod Xtreamer.

  • When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch

    When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch?

    Nobody knows (except for apple of course). All it says on the ipod touch page that it ships in October so it could be any date. I predict that it is in the first two weeks of October but when it says buy it now instead of pre-order you know its about to come out.

  • Using 5th generation IPOD on two computers

    I just bought a new 30GB 5th generation Ipod.
    I travel for the government - one laptop I use at home, the other I use when traveling overseas. I use the same IPOD on both computers - or so I thought.
    Now I discover that when I try to use the same IPOD with my other computer, all the data is wiped out since I can only use my IPOD with one and one only computer.
    Is there any way I can get this adjusted? In my case it would be very difficult since my travel laptop only has a small hard drive and I can't keep all my music, etc there..but I can't take my big ipod with me.

  • How do I change the format of my 5th Generation iPod from Windows to Mac

    How do I change the format of my 5th Gen iPod from a Windows format to the Mac?

    But this will delete all the songs I have? I have a lot of them on my iPod classic
    Yes.
    I want to transfer (well copy) all my songs from the iPod to itunes on the mac - and then have the itunes library as being placed on the external drive. The last part I think I know, but I can't work out how to copy music from my iPod
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Can I use a 4th generation cable for a 5th generation iPod?

    I recently bought a video ipod because my 4th generation one died. Is it possible to use my 4th generation firewire cable and wall plug to charge my ipod in the wall? I would really like to not have to buy a USB wall plug.
    I figured I can't use this to sync my ipod - I read that the ipod is optimized for USB 2 now. Am I right about that?
    Please let me know. I'm curious. Thanks.

    You can indeed use the 4g with the new 5g but only for charging. I did it and it was fine.

  • What is the Best UK Hotspot Provider for using with the ipod Touch ?

    Just ordered my new ipod touch and can't wait to start using it. I just wondered whether anybody here in the UK had done any research regarding what Hotspot Provider to sign up with? I know there is the BT Openzone option or possibly a new company called 'The Cloud' that looks OK ... then there is the 'pay as you go' option or monthly contract choice to make? I know my ultimate choice might depend on what usuage I want or where I am most likely to want wifi? But any comments, observations or user experiences would be welcome.
    Thanks.
    Jon.

    The Cloud have an account specifically for iPod Touch users. I haven't set anything up on mine as I use my mobile for surfing when out and about - but I do check to see if there's free wi fi available before I use the mobile.

  • How do I go about setting up my new 5th generation IPod in Windows 7 Premium

    I'm trying to setup my iPod touch but having one problem one of the requirements is I need Service Pack 3. How do I go about upgrading to service pack 3 for windows 7?

    Go to the control panel.  YOu should see an option for windows update. If you don't see it that way, look for the security part of your menu (there are different views and I don't have a Win 7 computer handy at the moment to see the exact how)
    Go through the update process. Depending on your internet speed it could take a bit.
    Once it's done, make sure your iTunes is up to date. YOu will need 11.1 for your iPod, especially if your iPod already has iOS7 on it.
    Once your iTunes is up to date then you can connect your  iPod and go through the setup process.

  • 5th generation ipod games no longer supported???

    I have a 60 GB 5th generation iPod video. I had a hard drive crash and lost all of the games that I had downloaded from the itunes store. Now, iTunes has restored all of my purchased items, but my 5th generation games don't seem to have appeared during the download. And, when I go to the app store, I can't even seem to find the games available for download anymore. Does iTunes no longer support games for the 5th generation iPod????

    Hover the mouse over Apps, click the triangle which appears, and choose iPod Click Wheel games.

  • 5th Generation iPod Microphone

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a microphone that is available for the 5th generation ipods. I was told there would be one in January, then April then June. It is now nearly July and I can't find a thing. Any ideas?

    Still nothing available as far as I know. Seems the manufacturers of these keep putting the release dates back. The first one that was supposed to appear was this one.
    The Micro Memo.
    It's now been put back to August it seems.

  • What is the best system maintenance software to use for a MBP??

    Hello everyone, I was formerly using Mac Tune-up for my Macbook Pro and it did an okay job but I am not sure what Mac software I should be using to keep my system clean while keeping it running at optimal performance. Turns-out I can no longer use Mac Tune-Up since I upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Can anyone recommend to me the best system maintenance software to use for my MBP with Mavericks OS and where I can get it (a link or site URL)?  Thanks in advance!

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make two or more backups of all your files, keeping at least one off site at all times in case of disaster. One backup is not enough to be safe. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
    Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    It's not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole "utility" software industry for the Mac is a fraud on consumers. The most extreme examples are the "CleanMyMac" and “MacKeeper” scams, but there are many others.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
    Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction.  Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve. Do not rely on "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
    4. Don't install bad, conflicting, or unnecessary fonts. Whenever you install new fonts, use the validation feature of the built-in Font Book application to make sure the fonts aren't defective and don't conflict with each other or with others that you already have. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. Deactivate or remove fonts that you don't really need to speed up application launching.
    5. Avoid malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X was once so rare that it was hardly a concern, but malware is now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it—the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness—not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    6. Don't fill up your disk/SSD. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a startup failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
    While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
    7. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    To use a Mac effectively, you have to free yourself from the Windows mindset that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. A well-made computing device is not something you should have to think about much. It should be an almost transparent medium through which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a machine that needs a lot of attention, use a PC.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • Looking for a headphones solution for 5th generation iPod

    So my headphone jack no longer works (technical problem). As a result I need headphones that plug in via the dock connector instead.
    A little over a year ago I bought (what I think was) a remote/headphones combo device that solved my problem. The remote plugged into the iPod, and then the headphones plugged into the remote. Problem solved.
    I have now lost this device, and whenever I ask the Apple Store for something similar they have no idea what I'm talking about.
    Any help in either identifying the device I had before or coming up with a new solution would be greatly, greatly appreciated. I'm ready to pull out my hair at the moment. I refuse to replace a $300 dollar piece of equipment just because I'm having trouble finding something that used to be on the market.

    SpringFaery, you didn't say what specifically is wrong with the headphone jack, so I don't know if this will help you or not. I have a 5th generation iPod 30GB that just started having problems with the headphone jack. One of the earbuds was losing sound intermittently. I checked the headphones on other devices and they're fine. The same problem happens when I try other headphones on the iPod, so I assume the problem is the headphone jack.
    I found another thread about sound problems with 5th generation iPods in this forum that said that pressing on one corner of the iPod fixes that problem, so I tried doing that on my iPod and it works fine now. I used a 2-inch binder clip and put it on the right side of the iPod, in the upper corner under the headphone jack. I have a leather cover on the iPod, so the binder clip is over that. The sound is back to normal now so I'm happy with this "usermod" fix. If your problem is similar maybe this can help.
