Can I use my iPod with a PC and a Mac?

I have a PC at work and a Mac at home, can I use both or do I have to choose?
Mac OS 10+ and PC Windows XP.

If your iPod was not originally set up on the PC, Restore the iPod on the PC, select the iPod under DEVICES, tick the box that says "Manually Manage..." and click Apply. Now highlight and drag the songs you want on the iPod from your iTunes library to your your iPod. You will have to manually eject the iPod. Repeat the manual syncing of songs on your Mac at home.
You will have to do any firmware updates on the PC at work.

  • Can we use our ipods with other music services?

    I have not been able to get into the music store for close to 3 weeks now, I have been round and round with these discussion boards and articles and unanswered emails to Apple... I want to leave and go with rhapsody or someone else, BUT can I use my ipod with these sites or does it HAVE to be Itunes??

    a service like itunes is subscripiton based is it not?
    No, the iTunes Music Store is not a subscription. It's a single-time pay; once you buy a track, you own it forever. Subscription sites are ones where you pay every month (or whatever) to listen to the tracks they make available. If you stop paying, you lose access to all the tracks.
    And if you pay for a song, why wouldnt you be able to burn it onto a cd, or do they just let you put it on your pc?
    It depends on the site. Not all allow you to burn audio CDs, even if you pay outright for the track. None of the subscription services allow burning to audio CD.
    And do you mean napster or bearshare sites?
    Napster yes. Bearshare is a Gnutella client which is just another P2P network like Limewire, and similarly consists mostly of pirated tracks, viruses, worms and trojans.
    helful as eveyone has been, none of these solutions has fixed the problem!
    Again, sorry, but as I said, you didn't answer the most important questions. For instance, you said you were using a corporate network, but you never said whether or not you'd addressed the issue with your network administrators, something that Toonz asked you two or three times. If your company's firewall is blocking the addresses and ports needed to connect to the iTMS, there's nothing you nor Apple can do to fix the problem.

    Macs will read Windows-formatted iPods, no problem.
    However, Windows PCs won't ready Mac-formatted iPods without extra software, such as xPlay (www.mediafour.com/products/xplay/). So if you want to continue to use the Mac as your iPod's 'home base' you'll need this extra software to use the iPod on both platforms.

  • Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time.

    Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time as either a backup for one and a seperate HD drive for two?

    Yes.
    From one viewpoint the Time Capsule is just NAS (Networked Attached Storage) and it supports the file sharing protocols necessary for both Windows and Macs.
    From the viewpoint of the Macs it can also be used by Time Machine for backups.
    As NAS it can be used for storing files, and there are many backup software packages that support NAS on both Windows and Macs.
    In addition from a networking point of view it can serve as a router, wireless access point etc.

  • Can I sync the same ipod with a PC and a Mac?

    I have been syncing with my MacBook, and now would like to sync also with my PC. Can this be done?

    You can't "sync" that is automatically update an iPod from multiple libraries or computers. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.

    If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats): How to determine your iPod's disk format
    Macs can read Windows drives so you could restore and reformat the iPod on your PC. iTunes will allow you to use an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac. Apple currently only fully supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac, in other words all future software updates for the iPod would have to be carried out in Windows to maintain the formatting. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews. It's a commercial program so you'll have to purchase a license to use it:: XPlay 2
    You can read another user's experience of using XPlay at this link: iPod on Mac and Windows
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Can i use my ipod with more than one computer?

    i synched my ipod with one computer, hooked it up to another and it says i can't sync with more than one library? it says i have to restore it but i dont want to delete my music off of my ipod, i just want to add the music from this other library

    I have two different iPods and two computers. I regularly use either iPod on either computer.
    First set the preferences so itunes will not automatically sync when ipod is connected.
    Then connect the ipod and set itunes to manually manage music.
    Drag and drop whatever content you want to the device showing on the left.
    If this was the default setup, there wouldn't be all these posts about people losing all their music when they connect their ipod.

  • Can I use my iPod with BOTH a Mac and PC???

    Might be an odd question and forgive me if it is an obvious answer. I just got a 30 gigger and connnected it up and charged it with my Mac mini at home last night. I have lots of music on my iTunes on my home Mac mini and I have some music on my work Dell Laptop(with iTunes). What would be the best way to sync up my two iTunes libraries (one on my Mac, the other on the Dell lapper) to the iPod, or is it even possible to use it interchangeably with both the Mac and PC??

    Yes, you can.
    Read through the following article, and make sure your iPod is Windows-formatted using the iPod Updater utility on Windows.

  • Can i use my ipod with this mac

    Sorry if this was asked before, but my problem and question may be slightly different.
    I have an old 20 gig ipod that I've had since 1995. I have downloaded many songs from i-tunes and from my own cd's to my pc running widows xp. There are about 1300 songs on the i-pod
    The pc was given away to a friend who transferred all my music to my macbook. The hard drive was removed. We did not deauthorize the pc---(I know-a mistake).
    I-tunes and everything works and plays ok on the Mac. Even new songs I've ordered or put in from cd's work & play ok. But note--in the "library" section not all the tunes have the little check in the box next to them. I do not know why this is. I have no problem synching from this Mac to my i-phone.
    So--my question is---can I now use (synch) the ipod with this Mac ?
    Can I just plug it in an keep using it to update my library ? I certainly do not want to erase all the tunes on it and not be able to replace them. What exactly do I have to do ?
    Any help and detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated----Thanks---Jerry

    I have a similar problem. I have a 60 GB old non video ipod. It connected to my old G5 with a firewire plug. Ihave been running it for eight or more years. When I upgraded to new IMAC and MacBook Pro 15 in. They do not have inputs for the end of the cradle. One end has the same wide flat connector now used by ipod touches. I have a new third gen IPOD touch. I was able to sync both ipods with both the two old computers and the two Snow Leopard macs. I must have accomplished by sharing in Itunes preferences.
    It has been awhile. Anyhow, now I am trying to sync the oldest IPOD. It doesn't show up on my new IMAC as a device. I suppose because it isn't pluged in. I tried disconnecting my 1 T external hard drive to see if I could use that input. But I don't see any port to connect my older IPOD? How do I add music from CD to new IMAC and sync it onto the old IPOD. I feel so lame. Please someone. I have read lots of books on IPOD touch and IMAC Portable, Snow Leopard. Maybe I need to check them out of library or buy one. Please advise. Spinning wheels.

  • Can I use my iPod to move photos and music from one computer to another?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to have photos and music on my iPod from one computer, and then copy those from my iPod to another computer? (like with an ordinary USB-unit)
    And another question: Is it possible to download movies onto my iPod? If yes, how? (owner of an iPod 30GB)
    Thanks!

    Did you set it to copy full-resolution photos??? If so, enable your iPod for disk use, open my computer, click on your iPod, and open the pictures folder. You can just drag them from there. If you didn't, use a program such a CopyPod Photo (google it) to copy photos from your iPod. Note that the files will only be the same resolution as your iPod screen (320x240) and not worth using for anything else. If you want to use it for sharing, definitely go with the full-res option. It is at the bottom of the photos pane in the iPod screen in iTunes.
