Help! Can't get Windows to recognize Mac sync'd iPod

I have been using my 4G iPod with my iMac G5 to back up files. I'm on the road and urgently need some files and I'm no where near my iMac. I connected my iPod to my Windows laptop and put it in disk mode, but when I try to open it, I get an error message saying I the disk is not formatted. The iPod is also not coming up at all in iTunes. Am I doing something wrong? Besides trying to work between an iMac and a Windows computer!!
Thanks!

You need special software, such as MacDrive or Xplay to allow a Windows PC to read a Mac formatted iPod.

How can I get itunes to recognize my 7th gen. ipod nano

My wife bought me an ipod nano the other day and I am unable to get itunes to recognize it in the device menu. I have spent over 2 hrs attempting differnt suggestions with no results. I down loaded the newest version of itunes and when I plugged in my ipod nothing popped up and I was never given a chance to set it up. When I open the side bar there is no device option to sync music to the ipod, so what can I do?

Wile connected to your computer:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo should appear after a few seconds, then the Home screen should appear.
That is a reset and your nano should show up.

How can i get windows media player playlists on my ipod nano

I have all the songs I'll ever need for my ipod but do I really have to burn all my songs onto a disk and then transfer that to itunes then to my ipod? There has got to be some kind of way that can help me transfer my playlists on windows media player to itunes. Can anyone help me?

Why would you need to burn all your songs to CD? iTunes will import your MP3 files (and non-protected WMA). Playlists cannot, but can always be recreated.

Can't get a specific podcast to sync to ipod

I have many podcast subscriptions, and don't have any problems with downloading new episodes to my ipod touch except for 60 minutes. It downloads the latest episodes to my computer, but won't to my ipod. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the podcast to no avail.

Yes it plays in itunes.
I've deleted the podcast and then the subscription, and resubscribed to it. I also marked it as unplayed and it downloaded it again.
Yes, it worked before.
This is an audio podcast.
Thanks for your help, ebb.

Okay I use iPhoto 6 on an older mac and don't want to upgrade past 10.4.11. Can I upgrade iPhoto without the newer operating system? For the life of me I can't get iPhoto to recognize my camera reliably - although it does sometimes. Any advice, help?

That camera model has been supported since ACR 8.3 and it is most certainly supported by ACR 8.6 and ACR 8.7 (beta).
Either you have damaged, corrupt image files, or a faulty Photoshop and/or ACR installation.
If there are no privacy issues, you can post one of your files to the FTP service of your choice (such as Dropbox or yousendit.com), post the link to it, and someone here can take a look at it for you.

Help Mac-brothers: can't get Windows to install

Thanks for reading. No matter how I try, I just can't get Windows (either Vista or XP Pro) installed on my Macpro! I made a partition with Bootcamp, started the installationprocess, on asking where to put Windows I selected the Bootcamp-partition and reformatted it. No matter what I do, it keeps telling me that it can't install Windows becouse it does not see a suitable sytem volume. what am I doing wrong? It drives me mad. Any help is welcome. Thank in advance!

Vista x64 doesn't like the NTFS partition BootCamp creates, so you have to delete and format, then reboot off the Vista DVD again.
And sometimes it only works if OS X is nowhere to be found (removed).
I always put Windows Vista on its own hard drive. And pull my OS X drive.
Having four drive bays, very easy.
Never tried with Pro. And in fact, I only 'tested' BootCamp Assistant once or twice. I just format a drive as FAT and then let Vista format it. BCA isn't necessary, and you can install the Apple drivers later when Windows is fully installed, patched, updated, and running fine.

I have the Adobe Suite 5.5 for Windows. I have recently changed to a Mac. Can I get 5.5 for Mac?

I have the Adobe Suite 5.5 for Windows. I have recently changed to a Mac. Can I get 5.5 for Mac? I have plugins that I would like to keep in their current form.

burnttimber,
I am afraid the only (legal) way is to buy it second hand with a licence transfer through Adobe, from someone that has not used CS5.5 for any kind of upgrading (including a discount on CC).
Transfer an Adobe product license

If I use Bootcamp, can I get Windows viruses on my Mac?

I am using Mac OS X 10.8.3. I am about to install Windows 7 on my iMac with Bootcamp. Can I get Windows virus on my Mac because of Bootcamp?

If you do, it'll only affect the Windows partition of your hard drive.
If you feel really worried, I'd suggest running Windows in a virtual machine using Parallels or similar. You can set things up so that there's no access to your Mac from the virtual machine and, if the VM gets a problem, you can just delete it.

Try a different FW800 cable and also try doing a SMC reset. If neither work try another FW800 device to see if it's recognized, if it is then you know it's not the Mac it's probably the EHD.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

I can't get Window's Media Player to recognize my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution/, I can't get Window's Media Player to recognize my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution?

I can't get Window's Media Player to "recognize" my new ipod shuffle. Does anyone have a solution? When I pull the ipod shuffle up in Devices and Printers, it says it needs Troubleshooting, but the Troubleshooting provides no solution.

Windows Media Player? As far as I know, that won't work. You need to install iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
That will install the software you need to use your shuffle with your computer.

I have copied my music library from two different files from extewrnal hard drive into the Itunes folder. I tunes only recognizes some of the songs. I have reloaded 5 times and can't get intunes to recognize all my songs? HELP!

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

I have a form that has multiple fields but has 5 sections. I have used mail merge to insert information but I can't get Excel to recognize that I need different names and addresses for each section. Please help.

Thanks for your response. I do believe I have the information needed for each form on a separate line in Excel. There is a first name, middle name, last name, city, and zip column. And field is entered on a different line for all the information. I'm really stuck.

How can I get iPhoto on my Mac to recognize my new iPhone 6? (iTunes does recognize it!)

I got one of the new iPhone 6s (the smaller version) and it's been working great. I was able to restore an old backup from my 4S and transferred everything over. iTunes recognizes the new phone and I've had no problems bringing files within apps on the phone to the computer like before. HOWEVER, iPhoto doesn't even recognize the phone so I can't import new photos off the phone. How can I get iPhoto to recognize it? I tried searching for the phone as a drive via iPhoto and that didn't work either.

So says my computer. Honestly, I'm not tech-wavy in the least so I just take its word for things.

How do I get Windows to recognize the built-in Airport card?

I just installed Windows XP Media Center Edition SP3 and I can't get it to recognize my wireless card so I am unable to use the internet. If anyone has had this problem or can help out that would be great. Thank you!

I have a similar problem. But when I throw in my Mac OS X disc it says that I can do an update and it seems it will work but then another window pops up and says that an update file is missing. So I cant do the update and I can't use any of the built-in stuff like airport and speakers. Any suggestions?
