can i connect my new ipod in my windows xp and download my songs then can i go to my new apple imac computer and connect my nano to that one as well and start downloading my songs i was told it will erase all my songs help!

The link Mitch posted explains how to use an iPod with more than one computer.
Now, because you use a Mac and your Mum uses Windows complicates matter slightly.
An iPod formatted for use on a Mac cannot be used on Windows without some additional software. This is because Windows is incapable or reading the file sytem that Macs use.
However, if you were to reformat the iPod on your Mum's Windows PC, then you could use it on both Mac and Windows computers.
Clearer now?

  • How can i connect to a LAN and external display at the same time using the mini-displayport?

    Hi all,
    At work i'm connected to the Lan via an adapter and the mini displayport. I want to use my external display at the same time, which use the same mini displayport. Are there any splitters available to use both at the same time? Are there any other alternatives?
    Thanks,
    Dennis

  • Will my mac mini connect to a display and a projector at the same time.

    I want to be able to use my LCD display while at the same time use a projector for slide presentations. Is there some adapter that will run off of the USB connector and connect to the projector cable (15 pin connector)? Thank you for suggestions.

  • Play Music and Apple TV at the same time?

    Is it possible to stream a movie to your TV via Apple TV as well as play music independently on your computer without interrupting the movie?
    - I bought my Apple TV last week and connected Home Sharing on my windows computer, TV and my iPhone, iPad and iPod
    - But when we were testing out playing a movie through the TV, I also tried to play a song from my iTunes on my computer, but it stopped the movie on the TV.

    Yes.
    Where are you starting the movie from, you need to start it on the Apple TV and start the music on your computer. You can't initiate multiple streams from the computer but multiple devices can initiate multiple streams when started from the device.
    We have a number of Apple TV's and often watch and listen to different content on each at the same time.

  • Windows 7 and OSx running at the same time

    I have both Windows 7 and OSx Lion installed on my macbook pro.
    If I run Windows 7 with VMware Fusion would i need more RAM so my laptop could run faster. or would the RAM not effect at all?

    Yes more RAM would always be better up to a Point. About 8GBs is the sweat spot.

  • Connecting to wireless network *and* another computer at the same time?

    Hi,
    I will be getting a new macbook soon and have an old powerbook with airport. I am wondering if it is possible to connect to my old powerbook via airport, while still being connected to a third-party wireless internet connection (from the macbook). The crucial point is that I cannot connect both computers to the wireless network, because subscription is based on the computer's hardware address and I don't want to pay for 2 computers (I don't need to have internet access on the old computer, just a connection between the two computers). Anyone knows?
    Thanks!

    What you are referring to is known as "Internet Sharing" for Macs, but it's typically restricted to sharing the Internet connection from one port (either AirPort or Ethernet) to the OTHER port...not AirPort-to-AirPort or Ethernet-to-Ethernet.

    why doesnt my 5th gen ipod nano not connect with windows 8?

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected.  We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black

    Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

  • My ipod has a black screen.  I have tried to hold the sleep/off button and menu button at the same time with no luck.   I connected to my computer and tried restore on itunes -  still with a black screen a voice said "screen locked'  code 542

    Is the iPad charged?  Plug it in with the charger/wall outlet for half an hour and try again to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.

  • HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.  While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained.  Whats wrong

    When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.  While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained.  Whats wrong?

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
    - If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
    - If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Problem connecting Firewire device and external HD at the same time

    Hi. I'm attempting to record digital audio through a Presonus Firepod A/D interface via a Firewire 400 to 800 cable connected to one of the Firewire 800 ports on a mid-2010 Mac Pro running Snow Leopard.
    The problem is that if I have an external HD connected to one of the other Firewire 800 ports on the computer and powered on at the same time, the connection to the Presonus Firewire device is not recognized by the Mac Pro. Not only that, performance of the Mac Pro is affected adversely and System Profiler is unable to list any Firewire devices. If I turn the external HD off, the Presonus device is recognized and listed in System Profiler and the machine runs fine. I'm able to connect two external hard drives via separate Firewire 800 ports on the Mac Pro and both drives mount w/ no problem. It's only when I try to connect one of the external HDs and the Presonus audio device at the same time that the problem occurs.
    I used this same arrangement on a PowerMac G5 running Tiger w/ no problems whatsoever. If the 400 to 800 cable is bad, I would think it wouldn't work at all, but it does when only the Presonus Firepod is connected and powered on. Any ideas?

    Have done more research and apparently this is not an uncommon problem: overloading the Firewire bus when connecting an audio device along with an additional device like an external hard drive. As I understand it now, audio signal is a bandwidth hog and the solution is to get a Firewire PCIe card which will have its own independent Firewire bus and which I'll use exclusively for my audio device.
