HT1727 Can I connect my iPod (mac version) to my windows desktop and download my itunes music to it?

I have an older iPod (15GB) and have successfully downloaded music from my Dad's old G4 (from his iTunes on that computer) and would now like to download my music from MY iTunes account on my PC. How can I do this? The iPod will connect,  but is not "formatted" for pc??

You should transfer all the content from your dad's old G4 to itunes on your laptop
here is a link to how to transfer music between computers.

Although just copying to a USB stick and then importing into your windows PC will probably work
Then connect the iPod to your laptop computer and it will prompt you to Erase and sync which is fine. The sync the content you want onto the iPod.
iPod are ios based and are not formatted for Mac or windows

  • Can't connect my iPod classic 5th gen to Windows Vista

    I bought an iPod Classic 30gb off of Ebay and I can't get it to connect to my computer. My Computer runs off Windows Vista and I've tryed everything. I tryed reinstalling my Itunes with the newist verson. Even tryed puting it in disc mode. The Ipod and cord works fine and the iPod is formatted for windows. It dosen't show up on the computer any were, not even as a unknown USB or anything like that. I know the cord work cause the Ipod charges when I plug it in. I even tried to get the iPod to work on my bother's windows XP but it still didn't connect. Please Help! If need any more info ask.

    Most likley, why the person is trying to ge rid of it.
    Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont solve your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
    For others reading this I would also suggest getting the HDSmartdata before buying any pre-owned iPod Classic.

    Connect it to your computer and in iTunes you will need to Restore it.

    Hi there Rlong50,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    I found I had the same problem so I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Application Support and then redownloaded the latest version of iTunes which reinstalled everything I uninstalled and I was able to sync my 1st Gen iPad and my 3rd Generation Nano with iTunes 11.1

    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.

  • Can't connect my iPod Touch! :(

    I can't connect my iPod touch to my iTunes. I updated to a newer version (10.0), but everytime I try to hook up my iPod it tells me I need version 8.0 or later. How do I get an older version? Or update my iPOd?

    been here for 2 and a half hours now trying all the crap that emanates from this support site and nothing works. I have re-installed itunes 3 times including 2 complete clean outs as per this sites directions. THe ipod touch with 4.0 software will not sync with itunes 10. THe windows system recognises the ipod but itunes doesnt. I get a message when I connect the ipod that it needs software re-installing which i have tried to no avail. The system worked fine till the last update of the itunes software. THere is no USB link showing on the computer to an ipod in the services stuff deep within windows and right now I would happily take this stuff and bin it were it not for my daughter wishing to have just one thing from apple that for once worked.

    The Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4 — allowing you to connect to an external DVI monitor. It can also be used in combination with the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to support older Apple flat panel Studio or Cinema Displays.

    Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
    Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
    Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

  • I don't know which Apple ID I used to register my Ipod Nano. I had to restore my Computer and now I can't connect my iPod to iTunes again. I have my serial number and ECID

    Hi, I don't know which Apple ID I used to register my Ipod Nano. I had to restore my Computer and now I can't connect my iPod to iTunes again. I have my serial number and ECID. I'm using Windows, BTW, sorry!

    Search your email for the word Logic (and set the search to All) and you should find the receipt (so long as you didn't delete it)
    Other than that.. simply contact Apple directly and ask.. Make sure you have your transaction details ready for them as they will need it...

  • Can i connect my ipod classic to my car radio via bluetooth so that I can listen whilst driving?

    Can I connect my Ipod Classic to my car radio using bluetooth (or any other way) so that I can listen through my radio whilst driving?

    Yes, get an iFM transitter from eBay or Amazon.
    Search for Griffin or Monster or just iPod Classic FM transmitter and charger, they are inexpensive less than US$30.
    Get one with charger or else you iPod might run out of battery faster.
