Ipod 5G with Windows 98

Can i use my ipod 5G with Windows 98
Thanks.

The iPod is designed to work with iTunes and there is no version of iTunes that works with Windows 98. There are alternative iPod managers for Windows such as Anapod, XPlay or EphPod but they do have a few major drawbacks. The iPod software updater is integrated into iTunes 7 so .....
1) You can't update the firmware on your iPod if a new version comes along
2) if there are any problems with the iPod you can't restore it's firmware to fix them.
3) If purchasing iTunes Music is something you wanted to do you won't be able to buy from the iTunes Music store.
Staying with 98/ME, you may also require drivers, there is a link in the Anapod page to suitable iPod/USB drivers

Is iPod compatible with windows media player 11?

Hello, is iPod compatible with windows mediaplayer 11?

No. iPods are to iTunes. Other PMPs are to WMP. You'll have to import your songs into iTunes to transfer them to the iPod. iTunes is better anyways, but thats only my opinion.

Ipod touch with windows vista

Hi,Im looking into geting the ipod touch,but I have read that the ipod touch does not work well with windows vista. I know the new itunes 7.5 just came out. Has that version fixed the problems with the ipod? Also what are the problems the ipod touch is haveing with vista. I have windows vista 32 bit OS. Thank you very much for your help.

Hey, yeah I have major problems syncing to Vista. The album artwork is assigned to the wrong songs or sometimes a chunk of the picture is not in the right place, some of my songs stop half way through the song then the iPod skips to the next song on the list. My movies periodically decide to crash and the only way to get past these spots is to skip ahead (which is very difficult on the iPod touch especially when the movie is long cause you dont want to miss too much) but yeah just letting you know that there ARE some issues with it not saying that yours will do the same but it might.

How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit

How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?

I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac. Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!
HELP!!!!!!

Hey guidoxy,
Thanks for the question. The iPod classic technical specifications include the minimum Windows system requirements, as long as your PC meets these requirements, your iPod classic should be compatible:
Apple - iPod classic - Technical Specifications
http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html
Windows system requirements
- PC with USB 2.0 port
- Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, or 32-bit editions of Windows 7
- iTunes 10.7 or later
Thanks,

Ipod use with windows

Ugh, don't berate me for this, but I had to buy a pc (dell inspiron 6000 with windows xp) for my new job. Already it is not as friendly as my ibook. Anyway I want to put my tunes from my ibook to my dell onto my new laptop. How can I transfer the songs, and how do I reset my ipod to be compatible with my windows based system. Thank you for your help!

I'd just move the music files to the PC like any other file (copy to CD, flash drive, etc.). Install iTunes on the PC; it should find the files automatically. If it doesn't, use Add to Library from iTunes File menu.
If you have music purchased from the iTunes Music Store, you'll want to deauthorize your iBook (if you're getting rid of it).
You'll have to install the Windows iPod software, too.
Good luck

Ipod problems with Windows

After upgrading Itunes to version 11.1.2.32 my Ipod Touch no longer works with Windows. I've tried removing and replacing the driver, I've tried removing and reinstalling Itunes. When I call up the driver in Device Manager the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver has a little exclamation mark next to it. When I try to update it Windows can't do it. I continue to get a message "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I've tried updating the software on the Ipod wirelessly and am told that the software is up to date.

HT1238 How would you reset a Ipod shuffle with windows 7

Attempting to give my old ipod shuffle away and want to set it to factory settings with windows 7, is there a way to do this.

Connect shuffle. Run iTunes. In the sidebar, select shuffle under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary or Settings tab (depends on shuffle model). There should be a Restore button. Click it to erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
When it start up and connects to iTunes, decline to do anything that syncs music to the shuffle. The new owner should be invited by iTunes on their computer to sync the shuffle to their computer's iTunes library, the first time it is connected.

TS1369 2nd generations Ipod Shuffle with Windows 8?

How do you get a 2nd generations Ipod Shuffle compatible with Windows 8? (it works on just fine in earlier versions)
If you plug it in through a USB connection it blinks orange/green really really fast. It is not recognized neither by Itunes or Windows (PC), Not recognized nor taking any charge.
I first thought it just came to the end of its life, but then plugging it in with my old laptom (Windows XP) and another laptop (Widows Vista) it worked just fine.
I have the newest version of all my software, so this has to be a driver compatibility issue, the question has Apple solved it yet?

I asked about the USB docking cable because some folks who also have a 3rd or 4th gen shuffle were trying to use the cable from those shuffles with a 2nd gen shuffle. Or they bought a replacement part that is for the 3rd or 4th gen shuffle. It fits, but the connector is different, so it does not work.
You have determined that the shuffle and its cable work properly when connected to a different computer. Since the Windows 8 computer is a new computer that was not used with this shuffle before, the cause could be related to the computer's hardware or software.
As a test, if you have another device that is similar to an iPod, such as a USB flash drive or a mini external hard drive that is powered by the USB port (not something low-power like a mouse or keyboard), connect it to the computer's USB port to confirm the port does generally work for other things.
If the USB port is confirmed to work for other devices, if you have a USB hub, as another test, connect the hub to the USB port. Perferably, the hub is the type that is self-powered (has its own power supply). Connect the shuffle to the hub to see if that makes any difference if the hub is between the iPod and the computer.

IPod used with windows, now bought Mac and want to transfer music

Gang:
First of all, I fell in love with apple products when I received an iPod for Christmas last year, loved it so much, i have turned around and bought an iMac G5 lol. Here is my dilema: I have been using my iPod w/ Windows, but now I want to quit using Windows, and use same iPod (with all its accumulated music) on my iMac. I made the mistake of connecting my iPod to the Mac it erased everything on my iPod (thank goodness I kept my Windows machine with the back ups) ... what do you suggest to transfer my music? Is there a way to use the iPod or do I have to buy 3rd party software as my brother has suggested ... thank you for your help! Cheers

Read through this. It explains how to use your iPod
to transfer the music...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
Also, as long as the iPod is formatted for use with
windows, it will work on both.

First of all, I want to thank you for your tip in the right direction; my iPod is now fully functioning with my iMac. This, however, is not the complete tale. I went to the document you referred, and began following the directions step for step. I got to a point where I was copying my iTunes folder onto my iPod when I encountered my first problem. Midway through the copy, I got an error to the effect of "cyclical redundency error," or something to that effect. Windows aborted the transfer and I was left scratching my head. To make matters worse, my iPod would no longer connect to either iTunes or the PC, it would just be in a constant state of "Do Not Disconnect." My windows explorer would show "e:/" was a removable drive, however it said it now needed to be formatted. I thought, "this is wicked annoying, but ok, lets use the iPod updater." No dice. It continued in its "Do Not Disconnect" state indefinetly. I tried resetting, etc., same ends. I tried formatting by totally removing iTunes, then the iPod program itself. The I tried reinstalling the iPod program as if it was the first time (remember, all you Windows users, when you first set the iPod up for use with Windows, you must format it), still that endless "Do Not Disconnect" (and if you put your ear to the iPod, you heard what I would call "click, click, whhrrr" over and over). Finally, I had it. I did a comand line format (c:\format e:) and that worked to reformat it. Then, I basically had an iPod in its "new" state and followed the above link tit for tat, no issues this time. All told, 5+ hours just so I could use my existing iPod ... I'd like to blame Windows for this one, but who knows.
None the less, it seems the ends justify the means in this case; so once again, thank you, everyone, for all your help.
Cheers

Synching old ipod nano with windows 8

I have a 5th generation iPod nano and just recently purchased a new laptop with windows 8. I was able to install the itunes program successfully and found all of my past music stored in the cloud. The new computer has been authorized to my existing itunes account. When I purchased new music and connected my nano, neither the computer nor the itunes software recognized the nano as being attached. It was as if the nano had never been connected. The nano doesn't even show up as another drive or a USB device connected. What could be the problem? I'd really like to get the song on the nano. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Many thanks!

Hi, bevelyn53.
I would recommend installing the Apple Mobile Device Support driver manually. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 in the article below.
