  • Changing ipod over from Windows to Mac

    I've been using my ipod with my PC for the last 2 years and I now want to change it over to my powerbook. I have all the music on an external drive and will only be selecting some of the music to go on the ipod as the collection is larger than the pod. I can't find option to only upload ticked songs to the ipod though.
    Also I was wondering is anyone could tell me the best way to format the ipod over to mac. shall I just plug it in an the computer will do the rest or do I need to have my ipod serial code or is there anything else I should know?
    Any help would be greaetly appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    Martin

    If you connect your iPod to iTunes, right click on it, select options, and from there you should be able to select "only update checked songs".
    You don't necessarily need to reformat your iPod since a Windows formatted iPod will work just fine on a Mac. (not the other way round though as a Mac formatted iPod cannot work on Windows)
    If you want to reformat it, use the iPod updater which can be found in your utilities folder, run the program, connect the iPod and choose restore. This will reformat the iPod for Mac.
    If you don't have the latest updater on your computer, you can download it here.

  • Change IPod Nano from PC to MAC

    We have been connecting my daughter's Nano to Itunes via PC. Recently the PC stopped recognizing the IPod. We have also purchased a new MAC mini and I now want to connect her Nano to the mac.
    The solution provide by support is to Restore the Nano, but now neither my PC or Mac recongnize the Nano.
    Is there any way to Restore the nano without connecting to a computer?

    Your iPod has to be seen by the computer in order to restore the iPod. There are two links here. The first link will show you how to troubleshoot the iPod not being seen in My Computer.

    The second is for an iPod not seen in iTunes or a Mac desktop.

  • When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?

    I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

    You should restore the the iPod to totally erase the iPod and add your own media to the iPod.

  • Hi...My IPod touch was recently stolen. I have an Itunes account..can I retreive the serial number of my IPod Touch from my Itunes account? If, so...how may I do this. If I have the serial number, the local police can check the serial numbers at pawn shop

    Hi...My Ipod Touch was recently stolen. In order to help the local police deptartment I need to supply a seria number for the Ipod. Of course, I did not wrtie down the serial number, but I have used he device on my Itunes account. My question: Is there a way to retreive the serial nuber of my Ipod touch from my Itunes account? Thanks you all....

    Yes. See bold below
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • How do i deactivate an ipod touch from my iTunes

    I know this should seem simple, but some how I am missing something.  I have tried searching and can't find anything on deactivating a device.
    I just need to deactivate an old iPod touch from my iTunes account that I am selling on Craigslist.
    Help?

    The consensus on the net would seem to be that only "Mac Computers" count as "Devices" for the purposes of Authorizing and Deauthorizing for iTunes purchases you are talking about. It is also implicit in the article mentioned below:
    Furthermore, on the "Deathorize All" feature, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420:
    " Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/)."
    I was NOT aware of that, and I just realized I'm at my stated limit of 5. Some people are saying that sometimes your mac may get counted twice (a bug somewhere in the chain). I didn't find a solution to this however, though I didn't look very hard since it is possible I reached the limit legitamitely.
    So apparently we can have as many iPod/phone/pad devices playing our purchases but only 5 macs, foolishly referred to in this instance by Apple as devices. This is obviously wording they should correct, as it has clearly mislead many people, including the both of us!
    roaminggnome (cute name), count against is exactly the phrase I used to search the net for an answer to this same question. A search that brought me here (same question, but yet unanswered), and other places. I'm surprised you couldn't  infer his/her meaning from context, you seem to strive for helpfulness (I see you're level 8). Some people use the phrase/s count toward(s) in the same manner, if that helps.

  • I can't upgrade my iPod touch (from version 1.1.5)

    Hello there,
    Sorry for my english if it's bad.
    I have a problem with my very old ipod touch (i got about 2 years ago).
    Yesterday i decided that i wanted to download some games and applications to use on my Ipod touch, but after downloading one for free on the app store, i couldn't synch it on my ipod.
    I was told that i needed to upgrade my iPod. It had the 1.1.4 version.
    So i upgraded it, and it only upgraded it to the 1.1.5 version, which seems to be a very old version.
    I do have the latest version of iTunes (version 9.2) but next to the upgrade button, my iTunes tells me that the 1.1.5 version is the latest version, and that it will search for new versions only on the 18.07.2010.
    I would very much like to upgrade my ipod touch so that i can use some applications on it, but i just can't, apparently.
    Thank you so much for your help, i'm pretty bad with this stuff.
    ps: i have a macbook pro that i bought one year ago, so my computer isn't very old either...

    iPod Touch 2nd gen 32GB Mac OS 10.6.4
    Since I have upgraded to iOS4, I have run into the following problems:
    1: Safari crashes on many of my previously favorite websites. They start to load and whamo a back screen and then my home screen returns.
    2: Very slow to open most apps. Takes many times as long as previously.
    3: Slow wifi. I'm practically sitting on top of my modem and I am getting only one little rainbow bar showing. This happens at other wifi locations too, so it's not a modem incompatibility.
    I have erased all of my coockies, history and cache to little avail.
    I have restored my iPod from my Mac.
    I have erased and re bookmarked my sites.
    I'm only using up half of the RAM so its not that.
    What else can I do. I love the folders, but this isn't worth it.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Can I downgrade the software on my iPod touch from 4.2.1 to 4.1

    I recently upgraded the software on my 4th generation iPod touch from 4.1 to 4.2.1. Since then I can not use it in my car, the iPod is marked as unreadable. I wish to go back to my previous version of 4.1. Is this possible? I have sync'ed my iPod multiple times since then so I don't think that I have a backup that I can go back to.
    I would appreciate any help or suggestions that anybody could give.
    Thank you

    I'm sort of in the same position. My iPod been playing up today, so plugged it into my work computer running Windows 7, updated the software thinking this would fix the problem, little did I realise iTunes would wipe all my songs off it - no warning of such a thing, AND I took a back-up. Restored the back up and still nothing.
    So I plug the iPod into my personal laptop thats got all my music on, and now, because its on iOS 4.2, iTunes 9.2.1 on my Mac wont recognise the iPod. So, I go to update that version of iTunes to 10.1 - but 'cus I'm on Mac OS X 10.4.11 I cant have iTunes 10.1 - so basically I'm screwed.
    I've been trawling the net for about 2 hours now trying to find ways of downgrading the software, and all I seem to be able to find out is that there is no 'legal' way of doing so.
    I'm generally a big fan of Apple, but tonight has been an eye opener to their money spinning ways - the only option I can see right now, is to update my OS on my Mac - not looked yet, but I'm guessing not cheap.
    Any help on getting my software back to 4.1 greatly appreciated as I've got a fairly recent iPod backup file on my Mac (which should work so long as I can get iTunes 9.2.1 to recognise the iPod).

  • Is 3.0 included on all new ipod touch from now on? +itunes question

    Anyone know if 3.0 is included on all new ipod touch from now on? If so, does Apple have a history of giving you credit for the software update if say, you just got the ipod a couple days ago? I just bought my first mac and got the 2g ipod touch with it on Friday. Argh. If I had known I would've waited but I was so excited from the WWDC news of the 13" macbook I was stalking for so long that I just bought it! I would like to save that $10 if I could. Anyone know if Apple does such things?
    Also, I have a 1g iPod touch that was synced with my windows pc. I figured out how to transfer my paid apps and other apps to the new touch, but it says it can only be linked to one iTunes. Is there a way for me to set it up so I can sync the ipod from my new mac from now on? but keep the apps?
    THANKS!

    Suz, as long as iTunes on both computers are authorized, you should be able to start synching to both. But make sure you do a back-up on your old computer(the one you was synching to all along) before starting to sync your apps to the new one. If you're not sure whether your iTune has been authorized, you can click on 'Store' then go down to the last section where it should say 'View My Account (your e-mail)...'. If not then Authorize it again. Since you may not have all the music files from your previous computer, you should uncheck all sync categories check boxes until you've transfer them by other means to your new pc, otherwise it will erase them from your iPod. The first time you click the sync button(assuming you've already authorized both pcs), a message will pop up asking whether you will want to 'Erase data' or 'Transfer purchases', click on 'Transfer purchases' and iTune will automatically transfer all your iTune purchased songs and apps to your new iTune.
