Can I use my nano with Mac & Windows?

I have a new nano, and was using it on my Mac until that crashed. I have alot of music on it and want to use it on my kid's pc (windows), but the PC is ignoring it. Shouldn't it work on both machines? help..............

Natively, a Mac can read Windows formatted iPod so a windows formatted iPod can be used on both Mac and Windows machined.
But natively a Windows machine can not read a Mac formatted iPod without $$$ 3rd party software. Therefore, a Mac formatted iPod can only be natively used on a Mac computer.

  • Can you use new Nano with iTunes 6?

    I'd like to get the new iPod Nano, but I have Mac OS 10.2.8, so I can't get iTunes 7. It says on the system requirements that I need 7, but is it really necessary? (i.e. is it possible to use the new iPod Nano with iTunes 6?)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    While I haven't tried, I would image the answer is no.
    Usually when iPods are released with a new iTunes version, they aren't made to be/are made not to be compatible with previous iTunes versions.
    It may work, but I can't be sure either way (someone else may have tested this).
    In the past, even if iTunes updated the iPod, there tended to be problems syncing.

  • Can I use my iMac with Mac mini?

    Can I use my iMac (PowerPC G5 2.1 GHz, Build 9L31a, Serial # W855104UTAR, VERSION 10.5.8) as a monitor with new Mac mini.

    YES!
    You either must use a monitor to initially set up the Mac Mini, or use Target Mode to boot into its hard disk, and create these settings, but:
    You turn on Screen Sharing in the Sharing panel in System Preferences in the Mac Mini.  In my case I also give my Mac Mini a fixed IP with DHCP with Manual Address in the Network panel.
    Then you boot your iMac and in the Finder in the GO menu to Connect to Server... and enter: "vnc://192.168.0.148" but replace 192.168.0.148 with your Manual Address for your Mac Mini.   You log in with your name and password for the Mac Mini and your Mac Mini will now appear in its own window.
    Go to Full Screen and now you can running your Mac Mini with your iMac's keyboard, mouse and monitor.
    I have been using my mid-2011 Mac Mini in this fashion since I purchased it. 
    As a backup, I have an HDMI cable connected from my Mac Mini to my HDTV to allow for "monitor viewing" when and if needed.
    I have an older Mac Mini running Snow Leopard as part of my home entertainment center, and with its own IP, I also control it in this fashion without a monitor (although I can "view" it on my HDTV through its component video input, when needed).
    This is known as a "headless" mac mini. 
    In my case, instead of an iMac, I use my MacBook Pro.

  • Can I use old drives with Mac Pro?

    Can I transfer the IDE drives from my Gigabit Ethernet G4 into empty bays on a new Mac Pro? If not, what would be the best way to continue to use them? I currently have 3 internal drives in the G4, including one 120G Seagate Barracuda.
    PowerPC G4 Gigabit Ethernet Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1.62 GB SDRAM, 1 GHz Sonnet Encore/ST PCI card, 120 GB ATA drive, ext. FW drive

    Hi,
    You can only add one ATA IDE drive in the free optical port under the dvd drive.
    I've done it with an old 5400 drive and it works fine. (I'm running windows on it).
    Beware though - as noted in other posts - the IDE cable is very short for the free bay - take an angle of 45• when reslotting it, and go gently, or you may scuff the cable. If it seems too tight back out and try again.

  • Can't use DL discs with mac mini!

    Just bought a 1.66 intel mac mini w/DL drive. I tried verbatim DVD+R DL and Maxell DVD+R DL and in each case, the computer ejects the disc, not allowing me to burn my data!
    Is there an exclusive club of discs that this paperweight will accept? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    BTW, tried to use disk utility also, and double checked the drive was a DL drive through system profiler. It's a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846.
    Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    these were brand new discs right out of the case into the mac. They came in 3 packs and I tried 2 of the 3 in each brand.

  • Trying to use a Nano with 10.2.8

    Alrigth, I just bought an iPod Nano. On the car ride home, I see that you need 10.3.4 to use it. I can't get that unless I buy a new computer... which isn't gonna happen. I have an iMac G3, 10.2.8,iTunes 6.0.1, and a highspeed 2.0 USB. Can I use the Nano with these settings? Do you know for sure?
    Please reply A.S.A.P!
    Thanks

    I'm using just this configuration. The only problem I have is the dreaded "Do not disconnect" message which never goes away. I wait to be sure all downloads are done, then eject the nano, and everything is OK.

  • Is it possible to have a phone line connected to a Mac Mini (OS X10.8.2) so you can use your computer with Parallels (Windows xp) to dial into a modem to download data being collected and stored at the remote location?

    Is it possible to have a phone line connected to a Mac Mini (OS X10.8.2) so you can use your computer with Parallels (Windows xp) to dial into a modem to download data being collected and stored at the remote location?

    Hi, do you mean a real Dial-up Modem as in the old days?
    As I recall, the Apple USB Modem won't work in 64 bit OSes, but there are others that will, I think this is one of them...

    Or is the Modem on the other end Cable/DSL/FiberOptic?

  • Can I use my shuffle with Windows and Mac?

    My shuffle works great with my computer running windows, but doesn't mount on my Apple, or recognized by iTunes (on my G4).
    Can I use the Shuffle on both computers?

    Yes you can. The iPod Shuffle always uses FAT32 so it's compatible with both OSes out of the box. With a dual 800 I'm guessing you've got USB 1.1 ports. You're also running 10.4.2 so you should be fine. I've used my shuffle with a Windows PC running XP via USB 2.0 and my upgraded Sawtooth running 10.3.9 via USB 1.1 (both direct port and via the keyboard).
    Note that there is no "manual" mode for the shuffle so iTunes won't show you what's on there unless you let it remove all the songs first.

  • I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?

    I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?

    First, you cannot do this if you have a Boot Camp partition.
    Second: Create a new partition.
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
    Third: Install Snow Leopard.
    Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD. Follow instructions for installation being sure that before you actually install Snow Leopard you have selected the new partition as your target destination.
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
      1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
          appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
