Changing iPod Settings so it recognizes I now have a Mac ...

Does anyone know how to change these settings? My iPod believes that I have some kind of Windows OS, which I used to, but now I have an iBook G4. I think this would be nice in terms of updating / charging iPod at the same time.
Any help most welcome.
I have a 3rd generation iPod.
S.
iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

To reformat the iPod, just restore it to factory settings. Be aware that this erases the contents of the iPod.

    Hi,
    my ipod is formatted to Windows, but I now have a mac. Is there a way to change it, and what difference does it make?
    Any help would be appreciated x

    You can do it by restoring the iPod in iTunes. If you need some help getting the music over to the mac, here is an article that might help.

    If you have all your music on an external hard drive, the process will be a breeze.

    While you're in itunes, with the leftside window open, click on Apps. Then, look across the top middle of your itunes screen. You will see several choices: All, Iphone/iPad Touch, Ipad, Ipod Games, List, and Updates. 
    Clicking on each of these gives you a different view. 
    When you select ALL you will see all of your apps. When you select Updates you sill see only the apps that need to be updated. When you are in Updates you will see the Update button in the lower right corner.
    Hope this helps.

    Platform changes are only supported for the newest versions of applications.  If you still have your Windows machine don't retire it.

  • Had a pc now have a mac and my downloaded cds do not show up on mac.   help

    I had a pc and now have a mac computer.  Itunes does not show any downloaded cds in the library.  Idon't know what to do.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have to add them to iTunes. To do it, if you have your songs in an external drive or in the internal disk, open iTunes, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Add to Library, and search the songs. Another way is to drag the songs to your iTunes window

  • Had PSE 8 installed on PC Windows 7 with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If I install PSE 12 or Lightroom on this Mac can I use the cat. backup from Windows or must I start from scratch

    Had pse 8 on a Windows 7 PC with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If install pse 12 or Lightroom on the Mac will I be able to use the old catalog backup or must I start from scratch.

    If you made a full catalog backup using the organizer's backup command, and you did it to a removable drive, yes, you can restore it to the mac. A backup made on discs will not work, though.

  • I purchased Lr3 (disc) and never installed. I now have a Mac laptop, no disc drive. Can I install just using the serial

    I purchased Lr3 (disc) and never installed. I now have a Mac laptop, no disc drive. Can I install it just using the serial #? If so how?

    You can get a download for Mac at this link and then validate it with your serial number.

    Note that LR3 was designed for OSX 10.5 or 10.6. It will run on 10.9 (Mavericks) but there may be some appearance differences to the sliders. But why not give the download a try. Otherwise you may be best to upgrade to LR5 or wait for LR6.

    Serial numbers for older versions do not work across platforms.
    At one time, when the product was current, you could get Adobe to switch you to the other platform, but I don't know whether Adobe will do that for old versions.  I do know it's not going to work if you try to use your Windows license for a Mac installation.

  • Please help me.ı delete mac os on my harddisk and ı format it ntfs.now ı have a mac os x install dvd but not working.ı think it is not working because of my hard disk format is ntfs.what can ı do?????

    ı delete mac os x lion on my hard disk and ı format it ntfs.ı install windows xp.now ı have a mac os x snow leopard install dvd but it isn't working. ı think it's not working because of my harddisk format is ntfs.what can ı do for install mac os x ?thanks

    The HD must be partitioned with GUID partition map and Mac OS extended (journalled) file system. Do not partition the drive into two. When you have a working OS X system, use Boot Camp to create the Windows partition and install Windows.
    If you're trying to install Snow Leopard on a Mac that was delivered with Lion installed =
    1. It may not be possible at all depending on the Mac.
    2. If it is possible, it cannot be done with the retail SL disc which is 10.6.3
    3. The only way it can be done is to obtain the original grey discs which would have come with the Mac if it hadn't had Lion installed in the supply chain. They will be at least 10.6.6 and more likely 10.6.7 or .8. You can try to obtain those from Apple Customer Services.

  • I have had CS3 on a windows desktop that has died and now have a mac can the licence be used to down load it in mac format or have I got to purchase it again.?

    I Have had CS3 on a windows desktop that has died and I now have a mac, will my licence allow me to download a mac version of
    CS3 or do I have to buy a new package and licence?

    Unfortunately your CS3 license is Windows only.
    There is a platform transfer process available from Adobe but that only applies to CS6.
    Order product | Platform, language swap
    Your options now are either to buy superseded CS6 for Mac or join the Cloud and get the latest versions, provided your hardware and operating system meets the system requirements.
    With the Cloud you can install on both Mac and/or Windows for no extra cost with no complicated platform swap processes. On both Mac and Windows you just sign in with your Adobe ID then download the Cloud apps.

  • "Unkown Error (-50)" when trying to change iPod settings via iTunes

    Hello everyone.
    I got an 5.5 iPod Video (30gb) for christmas and I can't update the name of the Ipod nor change the settings for music, TV shows, movies, podcasts, pictures or even reset it!
    I can however sync music, tv shows, movies and pocasts (not pictures).
    So I called Apple the other day and told them about my problem. The guy I was talking to told me that the only option avaible was to send the iPod to Apple and have them repair it. And so I did. It came back today with 1.2 update installed, instead of 1.2.1 which I used before I had the iPod sent for repair. The enclosed papers said that they (Apple) could not find any problems on the iPod itself and it's batterys and that "it met Apples specifications for acceptable performance, usablity and/or functionality."
    Yeah well... It doesnt. I'm using a PC with Windows XP, Service Pack 2 and I have USB 2.0. I have the latest version of iTunes and I had the latest firmwire update for my Ipod (1.2.1) and it didn't work.
    When I first plugged the iPod in today when it had version 1.2 installed it worked, but the next time I plugged it in.. well, it didnt work. So right now I'm using 1.2.
    I've tried re-installing iTunes and restoring the iPod via both iTunes and on the iPod itself. Nothing works. Can someone here help me out?
    Btw. I'm using an iPod dock.

    Edit: I am able to change settings WHILE my library is beeing synced...

  • Changing iPod settings on iTunes when iPod is not connected

    I got an iPod nano 2GB and would like to change the settings on iTunes without connecting my iPod to it. I don't want iTunes to open when I connect the iPod and want to be able to use it as a disc. When the iPod is not connected there is no option showing on the iTunes screen to make the changes. Can anyone help please?

    You have to connect the iPod to change it's settings. If your iPod is set to update automatically you can use a keyboard command to prevent it syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
