IPOD and Windows ME

Hey everyone, quick question. Does anybody know if their are any drivers that I can download so that my Ipod Nano will work on my computer. I have Windows ME, and I guess Ipod isn't compatible with ME. Anyone know of any drivers?

Problems with Ipod and Windows Media Player PLEASE HELP

Ok i am not sure if this is the correct forum or not but i am having a problem. I have a Windows computer (Yes a windows computer please dont everyone yell at me) and i have a new ipod 30 gig video. Ok well when i put itunes on it changes all my music on my computer gets changed to AAC format and i cannot play music in windows media player. Ok well that is not my big issue. I make videos for church using windows movie maker and i cannot import music because nothing windows can recognize Itunes format which is AAC. well is there anyway so i can use itunes and still use WIndows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker... Any info will be greatly appreciated. THANKS ALL

I believe Quicktime Pro (which is available for Windoze) is capable of opening any WMP files and then you just export it as iPod format. That is how I get video onto the iPod. The Music and Videos all can be placed onto your iPod through iTunes.
So, if you are creating videos in your program, and want them on your iPod, then that is how you can do it.
Videos on your iPod have nothing to do with the formatting of your music. But, as the earlier post stated, change your prefs in iTunes to import as MP3. But, your videos HAVE to be in MP4 or M4V format to work on the iPod.
Good luck... and I'm a j3susfreak too

30gig 5th generation video ipod and windows vista

i've been reading alot of posts putting vista down in reguards to the video ipod . i just wanted to say that i have window's vista home premium and my first video ipod
30gig and i've not had a single problem related to vista.
any problems have been to me never having owned an ipod .
just thought i'd set the record straight for those who are thinking of getting a video ipod and already have vista .
you know , just fyi .
but i am wondering , how well does the ipod record notes ?
and anyone here in a band and tape their rehearsals ? was wondering how it sounds . thanks all !

after I watched them they dissappeared from my ipod,
Sounds like you have selected to only sync unwatched video content to your iPod.
This is a setting that you can change in your iTunes preferences.

30G Video IPod and Windows Vista - Help!

I just recently bought a new computer equipped with Windows Vista. I have a 12" G4 iBook that was my main computer from which I ran my 30G Video iPod, and now I am wanting to sync my iPod with my new Windows computer, and this will be the only system I use with my iPod.
I realize there are many problems with compatibility of iTunes/iPods with Windows Vista.
My question is, barring the problems with iTunes, I downloaded the latest iTunes anyways and tried to use Yamipod to bring my 1600+ songs onto my computer from my iPod by bypassing iTunes. Problem is, my computer doesn't even recognize the iPod at all. iTunes does, but when I cancel the box asking me to reformat my iPod to Windows format and try to use Yamipod, Yamipod doesn't even recognize an iPod existing. I thought maybe it was just the program, so I tried about 4 others, but nothing. I also used the cd that came with my iPod and put the drivers onto this computer, but the actual computer still doesn't even recognize it plugged in.
Any ideas? Also, because a lot of my songs are in m4a format, how will that work if I am able to put them on this computer? Will I have to convert them all to mp3?
Thank you for any help you can give.

And given that Vista has been available in Release
candidate version for ages and that the release date
has been known for ages, shouldn't apple have made
the effort to make itunes compatible with Vista?
After all, the vast majority of itunes users live in
Windows land.
perhaps you should familiarise yourself with the common usage and implications of the symbol string
but as you clearly aren't familiar with it, if i took your question seriously, which i don't, then the answer is no...
your argument is that being first and being in the majority rules
that'll be apple then won't it
i) i can't be bothered to check the itunes release date, certainly it was out in 2001, which is several years before microsoft even figured out what to call the os formerly known as longhorn, let alone finished sawing off the pieces it couldn't make work
ii) the majority of people with portable music players use ipod/itunes, so it is for microsoft to conform with the majority and not make changes that impair the products used by the majority
so, by your own argument, it is microsoft's responsibility to maintain compatibility

IPod and Windows x64 Professional?

Ok, This is the day i have waited for. Windows XP 64bit edition. I tried my new iPod and it could not read it for the life of me. So i reinstalled the old windows xp w/service pack 2 and all is well. Does iPod not work for windows xp 64bit edition?

Just wouldn't read the iPod at all. In iTunes or in My Computer.
hmmmm. okay, haven't heard this reported as a problem for 64-bit, but i don't think i've seen a case of someone using it with an ipod video before.
just checking ... have you seen this document yet?

Is there something wrong with ipod and Windows XP? ipod not found at all?

here's a bit here's what microsotft says:
To resolve this problem, delete the UpperFilters registry value and the LowerFilters registry value. These values may cause access problems. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit , and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the UpperFilters registry value. This value is located in the following registry subkey:

3. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.

my computer would crash, sometimes it'd just sync a couple random songs, sometimes i'd get error -50, somtimes a different message that said the disk could not be read or written to.....
it worked perfectly for me!make sure to follow the directions. it's easy and resolves many Windows XP problems related to ipods. for more info try microsoft help and support and just serch for ipod. it list a bit more info there. it doesn't say anything about reinstalling the apple software, but just to be thorough i unistalled itunes and quicktime before anything just to start with a clean slate, then reinstalled them from my ipod disk after the restart. then i downloaded all the updates from apple. my ipod has never worked better. good luck. theres no link to the page just search for ipod in windows help and support for exact text...

i am not a computer wiz...like our boys at apple i am asing a question and saying what i've tried, i dont understand why it works but, sweet, it worked for me and there must be a reason. it solved every problem i've posted in
,i would like to i would ike to know why i susspect uncompatible programs, from our faves, thats why i think tie discripition is humble, do you have to have multiple, random problems for this Microsoft fix to meet your ipod (formally) my ipod workked for a long time, amidst udates, and experimentation, i became a box topper for my unused tech...cords,cell phones, even a gameboy slept next to my 5th g there is not try theres only do, so someone do something and adrees my question, i'ts very detailed and if will help you i'll say i use the fast usb required, i deleated (claeared it all out before i even attempted to mess with the registry , i'd like mac user opinons, but what i'm really looking for is Windows XP users, Apple might fix this problem but i got a 30 gig the newest "obsolete" ipod there are many problems on pc that mac users may not have expieriencind, (because of different software?), so don't be quick to judge, i read a trusted support, i had nothing to lose, so i tried this registry edit and it was like a miracle fix...."

Photos on my iPod and Windows/Mac issue

A friend of a friend is selling . . .
APPLE iPOD Video 30Gb (5th generation)
So, two questions: if it has been used in conjunction with a Windows-based PC is this likely to give me grief if I wish to use it with my Mac?
or will it need reformatting and is this likely to cause problems?
Secondly, can I view photos and store on it?

"is this likely to give me grief if I wish to use it with my Mac?
or will it need reformatting and is this likely to cause problems?"
It won't necessarily need reformatting becuase Macs can read and write to Windows formatted iPods. However, you would then need to make any future software updates to the iPod on Windows. Much better to reformat it for your Mac when you get it.
"can I view photos and store on it?"
Yes you can.

New Ipod and Windows ME

Hey guys,
I just bought the U2 Special Edition 20gb Ipod and I have an old (~5yrs.) HP pavilion that runs on Windows ME edition. Will I be able to transfer my songs to the Ipod without having to upgrade to Windows XP? I'd rather not upgrade because I am afraid that my computer will start crashing a lot. What about the iTunes that come with the iPod, will they work?
Thanks!

it doesnt work with ME
you need Win2K or better

5G iPod and Windows 2000 (SP4)

I have successfully installed various iPod models to a number of Windows XP-based computers, but I am having problems installing my new 5G iPod to my Windows 2000 (SP4)-based machine.
Upon connecting the iPod to a USB 2.0 port (self-powered hub, 500 mA per port) on my machine, Windows 2000 finds the iPod and lists it in Device Manager as "? Other devices/ ? iPod" and calls for a computer restart. On restarting the computer, Windows 2000 finds the iPod, loads iTunes, and updates the iPod. However, Windows 2000 doesn't list the iPod as an "Other device" at this point, although it does show up under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" as a "USB Mass Storage Device." So far so good. But then, after a few minutes (remaining connected to the computer all the while, with iTunes running), the iPod turns itself off. iTunes still shows that the iPod is connected, but if I instruct iTunes to "Update the iPod," iTunes can't locate it and I get a "System Settings Change (new device)" window from Windows 2000 instructing me to restart my computer. Also, the iPod does not charge when connected to a USB 2.0 port unless Windows 2000 has found the iPod, listed it as an "? Other devices/? iPod" and is waiting for a restart. In this case, it charges just fine.
Is the 5G iPod truly compatible with Windows 2000 as advertised? Is there a fix for the problem that I am having? I have tried ALL recommended trouble-shooting steps several times, to no avail.

Your version of Windows is not compatible with iTunes 7.4 or the third generation iPod nano.

IPod and Windows Vista

Hi,
if i connect my iPod to my Windows Vista PC teh CPU usage goes up to 100%. The process svchost take nearly all the processortime.
iTunes and iPod are up to date.
I getting mad about that. With Win XP i don not have these probs.
Any ideas about that ?
Greetings Admiral

I take it that you're a developer.
It is likely that your iPod may not work with Windows Vista (hasn't it still not been properly been released?) - anyway, Try the Microsoft Forums aswell.
hmmmmm
You don't really need a driver to use a driver to get a Windows XP computer to work with an iPod. Same goes probably for the Windows Vista.
So, try getting the iPod Updater.
Restore & Update your iPod, then try it with iTunes.
Has your iPod been used with any other operating systems? e.g. Windows XP??? or is it just Windows Vista?

Trouble with itunes ipod and windows vista

I just got a new computer with windows vista home premium (32bit) and i am having trouble syncing my ipod with itunes.
when i connect the ipod it asks me if i want to scan and fix the drive, if i click continue without scanning it sometimes wont let me sync, and if it does it only gets about half my music on there before saying it is unable to write to it (unknown error 53)

I have a similar problem, with my new iPod Touch crashing an XP Professional setup. It's worth noting that the Apple article also talks about potential USB conflicts with other devices on the system that might have bad drivers. They say the solution, if that is the fault, is to make sure all your USB drivers are good. I'll try that, by a process of elimination, before re-installing iTunes (as I thought I had the latest version and I don't have Vista). I'll come back here later to report the outcome.
(serious if your iPod crashed your PC - can't even charge its battery ! )

Ipod and Windows 98

Hi
I have an Ipod shuffle and a laptop with Windows 98 on it. I have had the Ipod software on before but have lost the disc and need to reload it back on. The software on the apple site will not let me load it onto my computer. Does anyone know of anywhere i can get an older version of the ipod software???

To copy CDs to your computer you'll need a program designed to Rip them. One that I like a lot for Windows, that does a great job, and is totaly Free, is CDex. Once you get them onto the computer, you can use drag and drop via XPlay to put them on the iPod, but it has a lot more power than that, so I'd recommend reading through the help manual for XPlay to get a better idea of what all you can do with it.

IPod and Windows Partition

Hello,
I've recently purchased the latest generation MacBook with a 4th generation iPod Nano. A couple of weeks ago I had my iPod connected to the MacBook while it was running Boot Camp (on Windows XP Service Pack 2) and soon after this I noticed that my iPod said that it had no songs. I opened iTunes (on the Mac partition) to find that all the data that was once songs is now listed as "Other". After no luck with getting it to work, I chose to restore the iPod back to factory settings, but the problem still persisted. Whenever I added a song to the iPod, it would show up in iTunes on the iPod as a song, but as soon as I disconnected, the iPod would say that it had no songs, and when I reconnected, iTunes couldn't detect any songs on it.
Since then, I have tried reverting iTunes to an earlier version (as I installed iTunes 8.1 around the same time as this and thought that this may have been the problem), restoring the iPod multiple times, and eventually used Disk Utility to erase the iPod to see if that would help. I've also been looking on many forums where users have had some similar problems and tried their fixes, but none have worked.
I came across this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493) today which suggested changing the Drive Letter on the Windows side, which I did and changed the iPod from 'E' to 'I', and then my flash drive which was listed as the 'G' drive is no longer detected on either the Mac or Windows partition. I also ran a "Hotfix" .exe file from the Microsoft site that the support article was linking to, which didn't appear to help either. As far as I know, there is no other device that has an 'I' Drive letter (sorry I don't know much about Windows as I've been using Mac all my life).
So if someone could help me out or point me to a relevant link, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much

...Anyone have any ideas at all?
