Can't connect iPod classic to mac cause OS of iPod is 1.1.2 PC how to change the os without a pc?
is the sign "pc" in the name of os of ipod the reason of not connecting to mac, or there is other problem?...
Hey artemsolomonik,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your iPod may be formatted for Windows:
iPod: How to determine your iPod's disk format
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1335
While a Windows formatted iPod may work on a Mac, Apple supports this configuration only with iPod shuffle.
You may want to try restoring your iPod to factory settings:

Or enabling Disk Mode:

Thanks,

Help! Bought an IPod from a PC user, now I can't connect it to my Mac!
I bnought an IPod from a friend who was using it with a PC. I erased all of it's memory and then restored it using the IPod updater software I got from apple.com. Now, I can't connect it to my Mac, and the IPod screen goes from the "apple" display, to the unsmiling Mac man on a file folder. None of the suggestions on the Apple support page seem to work, any suggestions?
Put it in Disk Mode, connect it with your Mac again, open the disk utility and you will able to see your iPod icon there, hightlight it, and go to tab "Erase" and do a erase (format in Mac OS externded (Journaled)). Once it has been completed, do a eject and reset your iPod. Open the iPod Updater and plug your iPod back with your Mac, and click Restore.

some times my internet connection will say it has timed out and I can not connect. but my friends mac never has a problem. How can I fix this?
Just confirming, when you have the trouble, the wifi icon is grayed-out or has all bars showing? I believe you are saying that is is grayed-out - not connected to your wireless router.
I have a Mini that started to lose connection to the Internet after the 10.7.3 update but still showed the wireless as connected. If I pinged the wireless router, I would get a quarter of the packets failing to return. The router was a Netgear that supported 802.11N connections. As a test, I set it to 802.11G (54MBps) maximum and the Mini worked fine for a week - no dropouts. And for the other devices that did support 802.11N, while there was a noticeable delay with downloads and pages loading, they still worked.
As another test, I changed the Netgear router to a Billion 802.11N model and the Mini has not had a problems since. (It is still using 802.11g). So it could be your router that is causing trouble for your Mac.
Have a look at some of the More Like This postings in the right column. There has been a number of Mac owners experiencing wifi connection issues and some very good suggestions as to how to resolve their issue. -
The 'Shuffle' function on my iPod Classic no longer works on my iPod or in my vehicle (2012 Acura TL). It worked prior to syncing in iTunes using my MacbookPr .Now I can only play music sequentially. Can anyone assist?
Reset or restore the device.

I can not get my ipod classic to transfer photos from my ipod to my pc
You need a third-party program like the paid PhoneView or TouchCopy. The free iFunBox may work.
BTW this is the iPod touch forum. -
Can't connect my camera to mac
Hi,
I have a Nikon D40x and I can't connect it to my mac. I plug it in, but absolutely nothing happens. The camera says "connecting to PC." but no reaction even after 2 hours. Does anyone have an idea of what to do?HI,
If you have iPhoto installed, launch iPhoto. From the iPhoto Menu Bar, click iPhoto/Preferences and select the General tab. Where you see: Connecting camera opens; click the pop up menu and select iPhoto.
Also, check the Nikon vendor site here to make sure your camera is Mac OS X compatible.

What kind of mac would I need for Nexflix, basic search and email? Also, sounds silly, but can I connect an HDMI from Mac to tv?
Just an FYI. The Macs named PowerMac date from early 2006 and before. Use this tip to discover where to post once you get your Mac:
Site map of Communities and Categories
The cheapest Mac available new is a Mac Mini. It is no bigger than many an external hard drive. But the screen and keyboard and mouse must be purchased separately. They support USB and Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and pretty much any DVI, HDMI, or displayport display. Although the iMac is certainly an attractive option if all you want to deal with is deciding on a printer. I still recommend getting an Apple USB keyboard for the occasional times you may need to troubleshoot startup issues. Normally not a problem, but as it gets older some issues can be fixed at startup or diagnosed at startup. -
Don't know if this went through the first time. Cannon printer would not print black. bought a new Epson-800. Same problem. Can it be something in my Mac causing the problem. It's only the black that is not working.

Can you connect via thunderbolt a mac book air 13" (2013) and a imac 21" (2013) together, using the iMac 21" as a 2nd screen
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. As both have Thunderbolt, it's as simple as buying a Thunderbolt cable, connect them and press Command and F2 keys on the iMac, so the iMac will be used as an external display for the MacBook Air. If you want more information, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302 -
How do I download only selected audiobooks from iTunes to my iPod.? I don't want to download the whole library..i have an iPod classic and Mac laptop with the latest ios.
If you check songs, simply sync the entire library.
But I highly recommend (and it is far simpler) to create a playlist (or multiple playlists) and select only that playlist to sync.
Leave everything checked.
Then simply add/remove from these playlists and sync away. -
Why can't I sync my playlists from my Ipod Classic program over to my new Ipod touch?
I'm not able to sync the playlists from my older Ipod Classic program over to my new Ipod Touch. WHen I connect to the program and drag the playlist up to the Ipid Icon they simply disappear and do not sync with the Ipod Touch.
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Try syncing using the manual method

Last, backup the iPod to iTunes and restore from backup -
After following the instructions to reset my ipod classic i am confronted with a red cross. Does anyone know how to remove this?
Hello theplantman5,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
If your iPod only shows a circle and cross (or x) screen after resetting or restoring it, try placing it in Disk Mode and restoring it.
Restore iPod from Disk Mode
Disconnect iPod from your computer.
Manually put iPod into Disk Mode.
Open the latest version of iTunes and connect iPod.
Restore iPod.
If these steps don't work, or you've already completed them, your iPod may need service:
Setup Service for iPod
If you cannot force your iPod into disk mode and restore it, then your iPod may need service. Click one of the links below to setup an iPod Service Request online or make a reservation at the Genius Bar before visiting your local Apple Retail Store.

I have my iTunes on my PC and have an iPod Classic, I have just purchased an iPod touch and want to load all of my Itunes music onto it, how do I do this and not loose my library, I'm not very computer savvy.
You sync music the same way as on the Classic. What you sync to an iPod does not effect the iTunes library on your computer.

IPod classic is locked and wants a combination. Never set one. How do I unlock?
iPod classic is locked and wants a combination. Never set one. How do I unlock?
Is your iPad new in the sense of being brand new or is it the latest generation?
If you do not have very much on it you could connect it to iTunes on your computer (if you use one) and on the screen that pops up starting with the Summary tab click on the Restore button further down. Be sure to set it up as a new device? You will lose any saved data but at least it will unlock your device. Alternatively, you could could do it through Settings on your ipad. Either way, you my have to redownload your purchased apps again.
