Formatting the Nano for Windows

I originally had a mac, however I've just bought a PC, and am wondering how I reformat my nano so that it's compatable with my PC. I tried just plugging it in and it didn't work. Is there something I can download?
Thanks

You reformat by restoring the iPod.

Boot camp does not format the partition for Windows 7

I recently purchased a copy of windows 7. This is the full version. I downloaded the drivers to a usb drive then placed the windows 7 disk in my apple optical drive to partition to disk. After portioning the iMac restarts and gives the a blank screen with _ blinking. It seems as though the windows partition has not been formatted. I cannot enter a dos command such as format or anything else. If I start up the mac again with the windows 7 disk in the optical drive I will be prompted to insert a bootable disk. I understand that after the partitioning takes place that bootcamp should start the installation process. By the way after working on this for quite a long time I decided it might be the copy of windows so I returned it and got another. Same resuts. I hope someone can help.
Thanks

Read the instructions and it is pretty clear that you format to NTFS where you see the BOOTCAMP partition.

Problems formatting the partition in Windows XP

I'm trying to install Windows XP Pro (SP2, OEM version) through bootcamp. I partition the hard drive (115gb) using the assistant and then start the installation. I get the screen that asks me to select the correct partition and I choose "C: Partition 3 <BOOTCAMP> [FAT32]". However, according to the bootcamp installation guide, I should then see a screen that allows me to format the partition for Windows XP where I can select "NTFS (Quick)". The problem is, I'm not getting this screen. After I choose "C: Partition 3..." it jumps straight into the install and I never have the opportunity to format the partition. Any ideas on whats going wrong?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
with newer Windows CDs/DVDs there seems to be sometimes a problem with the needed re-formatting during installation.
Here's a solution for such problem comes up: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9771900#9771900

Systemupdate40-2009-10-19 -- Where is the support for Windows 7?

I am about to rebuild my X201 Laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I downloaded systemupdate40-2009-10-19.exe and systemupdate40-2009-10-19.txt. The txt file is extremely poorly formatted for notepad. It is one long line.
Also, from what I can make out in the description at the begining of the file it only has support for XP, 2000 and Vista:
"ThinkVantage System Updatefor Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista"
Where is the updater for Windows 7?
Solved!

You must use the Windows formatter to format your Windows partition NTFS. Please be sure you select the Windows partition otherwise you might end up formatting your OS X partition NTFS.

How to change the icon for 'windows group' in Java 1.6 [Windows XP] ?

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a possibility to change the icon for 'windows group' in Java 1.6...
I'm using Windows XP SP2. Now the windows from my Java 1.6 application are grouped with the standard Sun icon [screen below] on the group.
http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/8995/iconbl1.png
I would like to change the icon for my own. Is there a way to do that ?
Please help.

Whichever icon I use for the main frame (I tried few), after grouping the main frame and other sub-frames the icon is changed to standard 'Java Sun' icon as you can see in the screenshot from my first post. The problem occurs only when frames are grouped, when the are separated in the task bar their titles and icons are ok...
So how can I change the icon/title for the group only (for Java 1.6 in Windows XP) ?

What you can download via Safari on the iPad is very limited - you can only download apps from the iTunes app store on your computer to sync to the iPad, or from the App Store app directly on the iPad

then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

I have been trying to install window 7 operating system through booth camp assistant, i will finish all the stages for window to complete installation it will hook. the installation cannot be able to complete and i really install windows on it, please i need an assistance on how to go about it.

Right now I have 6 different systems installed. Windows XP, 7, and 8 plus Linux Mint, Commodore, and OS X Snow Leopard (for old times sake), all running on Mountain Lion.
I recommend reading the user manual as it greatly helps getting through the steps, however an intuitive person should pick it up fairly easily.
Thanks to BobTheFisherman for the link.
There are other ways to get Windows on a Mac but I'm a big fan of open-source software.
Give it a try. You might like it or it may not be your cup of tea.

I running snow leopard on my MBP- where can I find the drivers for windows XP if I install them via bootcamp? Thanks!

You won't find them until you are in Windows.
Helps to read even print the guide.
If you have auto run enabled, which is a security risk, the Apple setup.exe will run.
Otherwise, just run that.
Either use your OS X DVD, or use the drivers downloaded by Boot Camp Assistant.
Two different ways to get them.
