How do I connect my iPod to Windows??

I Have this problem and I don´t know if this is the right place to ask. Anyway, I had My ipod formated on a Mac, but since in my school all they have are PCs i figured that I could sync, Charge and even listen there (I have the manually manage songs option cheked), I installed my ipod CD and when i conected it, it said that it didn´t have format or something like that so I can´t even take my files with it...
How can I solve this??
Because a friend of mine also has and ipod (formated on a PC) and when conected to my Mac everything seems to work just fine (meaning: it cherges and it can be listen)
Hopefully I´ll find my answer, Thanks!!
(Hope I made myself understood, I´m not and English speaker)

Macs can natively read/write to a Windows-formatted iPod, but the reverse is not the case.
Windows cannot read/write to a Mac-formatted iPod without the use of third party software.
If you want to use your iPod on both platforms, your best bet is to use the iPod Updater utility on a Windows PC, and Restore your iPod.
This will format it for Windows, and it will work on a Mac as well.

    You do not. The iPod will only sync to iTunes.

  • How do I reprogram my ipod from Windows to Mac?

    How do I reprogram my ipod from Windows to Mac?

    Connect the iPod.  Decline any offers from iTunes to sync it, if this is the first time the iPod has been connected to the Mac.  When the iPod appears in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES, select it there.  Over to the right, on the Summary tab, there is a Restore button.  Click it.  Follow the prompts.
    Restore will erase the iPod and install the latest software, using default settings.  If it is connected to a Mac when you do the Restore, it will use Mac formatting during the erase.  That's basically the only difference.  The software is the same, so it is not really "reprogrammed."

  • How do I connect an IPod Touch (4th Generation) to media player to sync a music playlist?

    How do I connect an IPod Touch (4th Generation) to Windows media player to sync a music playlist? It is not listed in the listing of compatible devices for Windows Media Player. And it does not recognize my IPod. It does recognize my IPod as a camera perhaps because it has pictures in it. Thank you!

    No. You can only sync an iPod from media in your iTunes library.
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device> and follow the instructions.

    Copy all the content that is currently on your iPod to your new laptop first. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    How do you connect an iPod touch to your Vista computer without using any Apple products

    There is no other legit way to sync your iPod than using iTunes. There is 3rd party software to transfer content from the iPod to your computer, but not from the computer to your iPod.
    Disk mode is not supported.

    Make sure you've got the latest version of iTunes. Other than that, you should be able to just connect both iPods at the same time, if you want.

    how can i format my ipod in windows?

    iPods are generally formatted in the universal, Microsoft-developed file system FAT32. However since Apple are idiotic they decided to use their proprietary file format (HFS+) for iPods formatted on Macs for no reason whatsoever. Fortunetely newer iPods do not do this. All you need to do is restore it.
