How to use iPod to move purchased music between a Mac and a PC

I use a Mac at home and I work with a PC (unfortunately)
I want to use the new function that give you the opportunity to import in iTunes library the new purchased music from iPod.
In order to have both computer able to connect to the iPod I format iPod from PC (FAT32)...
But when I connect the iPod to my iMac, iTunes ask me if I want to format the iPod to be used with Mac.
If I reply NO, I can't see the iPod and then I can't import music.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

I suggest you post your question on an MS Office forum since it's their software you're having issues with.

How do I sync Tasks/To-Do List between a MAC and an iPhone

I am in the process of converting from a Windows PC to a MAC, and from a Blackberry to an iPhone. Today, I use the Outlook Tasks application extensively on my PC which syncs with my Blackberry. I am looking for an application that will provide this same functionality on the MAC and the iPhone. Can someone recommend an application that has a MAC client for Tasks/To-Do List that will sync with the iPhone? I have looked into the new Microsoft Office 11 home and business for the MAC which does provide the MAC client for task, but I have not been able to find an app for the iPhone that will sync the tasks to my iPhone.
Any recommendation would be helpful
Thank you

How to use Port to make a connection between Import Server and Source

Hi guys,
I wanna make a Import Server and Manager work with a MDM Repository and a Client System. I want the Import Server could listen the port, whenever the Client System want to sent some files to the Import Server, the Server could automatically import files.
I know how to import a file by hand, but how to make it automatical? Use Port in Type?
Regards
Wang Yu

Hi,
You can automate the Import or Syndication process using Ports.
Requirements:
1. Import Server need to be Installed.
2. Client Systems need to be defined for the repository.
3. Create the Port with type Inbound (for Import process). OutBound (for Syndication process)
4. Associate a predefined map with the Port.
Note:
Each port is associated with only one map.
While creating the ports, When you select the client system, it only populates the maps defined for that client system.
Make sure if you want to use the same client system for both import and syndication.
Specify the Client system type as "Inbound/Outbound"
Steps involved:
Using MDM Console, In the repository Admin section
1. Select Client Systems-> this is where you have to define the Client Systems , which you are going to use for the ports.
Make sure you have define the Import Maps for the specific repository,specific Client System using Import Manager.
2. Select Ports->This is where you create Port and other related information related to it.
Once the Port is created, You see a specific directory structure created in the MDM Server installation directory
<<MDM Server Install_Dir>> ->Distributions -> <<DBMSHOST_DBMS_TYPE>> -> <<Repository Name>> ->
<<Port Type>> -> <<Client System ID>> ->
<<Port Code>>
Under the above sturcture it will have the following directories
-> Ready
-> Archive
-> Status
-> Log
Ready Folder :
-> In Import Process the import Server will pick up the file from this directory based on the specifc interval you specify in mdis.ini file(This can be found in Import Server installation directory).
Archive Folder:
-> Once the file is picked by the Import Server from Ready folder and if it is processed then the file will be moved to this di
rectory with some date stamp suffixed.
Log Folder:
->Log information for that process
Status Folder:
->Status of process will be kept in this folder.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

Can I move project files between a mac and a pc?

I have a PC desktop, which I run Adobe Premiere CS4 and work mainly on. I am looking into buying a mac book pro to use in the field and for some work while traveling. I was wondering if I could start a project at home (I work on Firewire Portable Drives) then open it in the mac version then back to the PC when I get home? Or even the other way around... I just want to go back and forth between the machines seemlessly.
Thanks!

Other than the physical external formatting, you might want to plan your Assets, so that you have the greatest compatibility between the two platforms, also. Some .MOV CODEC's can cause PrPro problems on the PC side of the street, though in general I have few problems with the ones that I get from most Macs. Same can be true for .AVI's on the Mac side.
I've swapped Projects from Mac's to my PC with no issues to date. Only hangup was the FAT-32 format for the external, because of the Mac compatibility (what Curt pointed out). File sizes have to be kept down due to that. Do not know if the newer Mac OS's can read NTSF, but I do not think so. To overcome this, you should be able to get MacDrive for the PC and use a more efficient formatting than FAT-32. I'd check into this, as a 4GB file limit comes up quickly.
In my case, I just plugged the Mac's external and copied the whole Project & media, to my 2TB NTSF externals and didn't have any problems. Never even needed MacDrive.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I get home sharing to work between my Mac and a PC

I can see my families iTunes libraries on their PC's but I can't home share. The symbol I have by all of their libraries is a square with a music note in it. Between their PC's however they can share and their symbol is a house. It has to be something within the Mac not allowing me to share music. Any thoughts on settings within the Mac to allow the homesharing to happen?

and, last but not least, see this discussion concerning bonjour being the culprit.

Move purchased music from mac to pc

Hi all, not sure whether to post this under iTunes for Mac or iTunes for PC.
I want to move purchased music from a mac to a pc. I've read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329 and http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ but I'm still not sure of the best way. I've "authorised" the pc. Some hours of trying to get the mac & pc to connect to one another via lan got nowhere so I'd like to try going via external disk. Do you think I can just copy the iTunes track files to a (fat32) hd then plug that into the pc and somehow copy or import them into iTunes? The pc is brand new afaik w7; the "mac" is actually a bootable (ccc) dump of a mac which isn't working at present, with another mac booted from this. TIA for any advice - Terry.

+Some hours of trying to get the mac & pc to connect to one another via lan got nowhere+
That's too bad, it's uefull to have file sharing set up between the two. It was kind of a pain for me to set up, but I'm glad I got it going in the end.
I finally stumbled on the Mac setting in System Preferences > Network > Advanced > WINS to set the proper workgroup name.
Do you care about ratings, play counts, etc? If so it is a bit more work.
If not, yes, just put the purchases on the exHD while connected to the PC, then connect the exHD to the Mac and add them to your Mac itunes library.
Make sure the itunes preference > Advanced for "Copy files when adding..." is checked, so they will go to the Mac's hard drive.

Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music? I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music. My other computers are no longer working. Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?

Hi kimcinma!
Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

I want to use my iPad to purchase music for my iPod. Is it possible?

I have had a iPod classic for years, but the computer which I had synced it to is no longer working. I now have an iPad and want to use it to purchase new music and transfer it to my iPod. I no longer have a computer. Is this possible? How can I do it?
thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can use the device to purchase music, but your iPod needs a Mac or PC to transfer your songs

I bought a used ipod touch. The music on it was not my taste. I found a delete feature and now EVERYTHING is gone. No icons. Nothing. How do I get it back?

I bought a used ipod touch. The music on it was not my taste. I found a delete feature and EVERYTHING is gone. How do I get the icons back and start over?

If you did not yet connect with iTunes, you can place any music from your library back into your iPod from the computer. When set to automatically manage usic and videos, whatever iTunes finds changed in your music app will be reset to what is on your computer iTunes library.

Some video podcasts won't sync after using iPod to move music to new comput

Hi -
I used my iPod to move my music (and podcasts) to a new computer (from a PC laptop to a Mac Pro). Now when I try to resync it (on either computer) some video podcasts are not synched from iTunes to the iPod. In some cases, all podcasts from the same subscription fail to sync; in other cases, some podcasts synch and others from the same subscription don't. All of the podcasts that fail to synch are video podcasts.

yeah i'm having the exact same problem so thought i'd up this rather than start a new thread. for me, one particular video subscription won't sync at all, and another is fine apart from three videos. particularly annoying as it took an absolute age to actually download them, and now they won't sync.
anyone got any bright ideas?
