Can you reformat mini from use from a MAC, to use on a windows PC?

Okay, here is the situation.
I got my iPod Mini (Gold) a couple months back. First month it ran fine, uploaded songs from iTunes onto it fine, than I have to upgrade iTunes and my Mini to 1.4 . So, I do that and my iPod is no longer recognized by iTunes, but is recognized as removeable storage by Windows. So, I try everything in Support and everything I have found in this forum. Never fixed the problem.
So, a while back I had the idea of using a cousins MAC computer since she has an iPod Mini also (except pink). So, music and everything upload to my iPod no sweat. So, than I take it back to my house a couple weeks later, very recent, to see if it will work with my Windows PC (I have XP). So, I try it and iTunes and Windows, as well as my iPod Updater, all recognize it. Than, I try and upload new songs onto it. I can't, because it says it can not read or write onto my iPod. So, I try to restore it to factory settings, but the Updater comes back with a "Firmware update failure. Disk write error". So, I start looking through Apple's iPod support, and see that if I format my iPod to a MAC, it will no longer be able to be read or written on by a Windows. At least, that's what I thought after reading it.
Is this true? Since I "guess", I formatted it to a MAC computer, I can't use it with my Windows PC? What the heck is that! Does anyone know how to reformat my iPod and be able to use it with my Windows PC?

Unfortunately, I can not do that.
I tried using my Windows (Latest and original iPod Updater), and see for youself what I got:
Original Updater:
and with the Newest Updater, I got:

  • HT5661 How can I unlock my iphone from Iusacel (Mexico) I moved to Canada and the Iusacel company told me they cannot do it. Can you tell me how? I want to keep using my iphone.

    How can I unlock my iphone from Iusacel (Mexico) I moved to Canada and the Iusacel company told me they cannot do it. Can you tell me how? I want to keep using my iphone.

    The normal process is to request the unlock with the carrier.  They process it and pass it on to Apple to be applied to the Apple's iPhone database.  The carrier would then inform you when Apple has provisioned the unlock, and you would restore your iPhone as a new device in iTunes to apply the unlock (you would get a message at the end of that restore as new in iTunes indicating the unlock was successfully applied).  You could then restore your iPhone from backup to get everything back as it was.
    However, for some carriers, you seem to beed to complete the iTunes restore from within the country where they provide service.  Regardless, have you tried restoring as new in iTunes to see if it processes any provisioned unlock request?  Just be sure to backup the iPhone first, before restoring as new.

  • HT1364 can you move an itunes library from pc to mac?

    Hi everyone,
    The days of my laptop are nearing the end and I'm strongly leaning towards purchasing a macbook. Can you transfer your media library from pc to mac?
    Can you export a copy your library onto an external drive as I don't know how much longer this laptop will last?
    Thanks for the help

    Sorry, I obviously wasn't clear. If you replicate the library from Computer 1 to Computer 2 by copying it, then all will be well. I routinely sync my iPhone and iPad both at home and at work using a single library that I migrate between the two locations via an external drive which is kept up do date using SyncToy.
    Backup the iPod touch on Computer 1.
    Copy the entire iTunes folder from Computer 1 to Computer 2, replacing any existing iTunes folder on Computer 2.
    Check that content is accessible in the migrated library. (Won't be a problem for a standard iTunes library where all the content is inside the iTunes Media folder which in turn is inside your iTunes folder).
    Connect iPod touch to Computer 2.
    Sync.
    In the unlikely event that something goes wrong (it won't) then you can connect the device back to Computer 1 to restore it.
    Note device backups are not stored within the iTunes library and stay on the machine on which they were created. It is theorectically possible to migrate them but there isn't really any point. Once you have synced the iPod with the copy of the library on Computer 2 then Computer 2 will make its own backup of the device.

  • How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

    How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

    That sounds great, but I'm lost.
    I followed these steps:
    1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
    2) Chose print
    The print/printer options pop-up will show.
    3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
    4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
    It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
    Am I missing anything?

  • Can you make an animated gif from edge animate?

    Can you make an animated gif from edge animate?

    not natively. edge exports html and javascript files, not video files, or frames.
    however, you could use a third-party program that has a video screenshot function and make one that way.

  • Can you create a .ics file from entries in a PDF?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anyone can help me: Can you create a .ics file from entries in PDF?
    Example:
    I'm wanting people to be able to choose a number of dates for some events within a PDF, then click a button that will then create a (or number of) .ics files so they can add those dates to the calendar of their choice. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Using the solution supplied by Leonia, and cited by Keith, you can do the same thing (flopping the Curve profiles) in LightRoom. So, it makes sense. Though I didn't know know it worked for Color Negatives.
    A friend of mine with a Nikon Coolscan is going to scan nearly 150 B&W rolls of 35mm negatives for me, and I want to import them all into Aperture, naming and keywording as I go. The objective is, of course, to have the convenience of a diigtal library. But also to have some made into large prints for framing.

  • Can you intercept an Oracle error from a "Process Row" process?

    Hi,
    Can you intercept an Oracle error from a "Process Row" process?
    Example:
    I have been just creating a validation process to check if I'm about to insert a duplicate record so I can give the user a "User friendly" error message.
    It would be awesome if in the error message you can select "PL/SQL function returning result" and have it pass it to the Notification area..
    I doubt there is a way but I thought I would ask..

    >
    I think everyone is waiting for a better exception-handling, but even 4.0 won't bring any improvements in this area.This is kind of what bugged me about 4.0. I feel that they put more effort into making it cool and flashy and ignored some pretty basic core issues like error handling. I mean sure the new jquery powered application builder is nice, but your users never see that - they do however see you not being able to hook into the error handling. There are several issues that have lingered for years that keep getting passed over for other things - i mean the Forms conversion release was such a waste in my opinion. They could have used that release to fix some bugs.
    Of course thats my 2 cents.

  • Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another?

    Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another computer?

    Yes. You have to deactivate it on one computer and then you can install it and activate it on another. Technically, your license allows you to have Photoshop CS6 installed and activated on two computers, you just can't use both at the same time.
