IPod nano - outlook contacts & mac iTunes?

I would like to be able to sync my iPod nano with iTunes on my Mac and with my Outlook contacts on my work PC.
Read that the first time you plug in the iPod nano to a PC or Mac, it formats for the proper system (PC or HFS+). Also concerned that the iPod will sync to only one computer.
Hoping there's a way to do this... sure I'm not the only user that would rather use a Mac for personal use and iTunes but have to use Outlook on a PC for employer.

I can't speak for the nano, but on other iPods, the Mac version of iTunes will sync to a Windows-formatted iPod. So if you format the nano as Windows, the Mac should be able to sync iTunes to it. I'm not sure how the Outlook sync works though on the PC. If it uses iTunes, you may be out of luck, since it'll probably try to sync the music too.

  • IPod Nano & Outlook Contacts - Error

    I keep getting an error when updating. I have it set to sync with all Outlook contacts but I get "iTunes cannot copy contacts to the iPod 'A.J.'s iPod'." Any body know a fix.....

    Hi A.J.
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Just to make sure before going any further, have you looked at Knowledge Base Document #302270? It goes into detail on how to sync contacts with Outlook. I just want to point out:
    "Outlook 2000 is not supported.
    Only the primary email address is synced for contacts in Microsoft Outlook Express.
    You must have Outlook Express or a full version of Microsoft Outlook to sync information (trial versions of Microsoft Outlook may not work)."

    I do not use a Windows computer. I just want to make sure you have seen some the reference documents.

  • My grandson loaded music to my Ipod nano with his Mac computer.  Now I'm trying to add music and I have a windows based computer.  Itunes is asking me to reformat my Ipod for windows.  Will that erase my music already added?

  • My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files. I am in the process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

    My ipod nano was synced by itunes and removed all of my music and game files, and replaced my music with my kids music that they have put into the current itunes library. My music is nowhere to be found on my computer, so now  I am in the long, forever process of adding my music back one cd at a time, but there is no history of tetris that I paid for from the itunes store. How can I get this game back for my ipod?

    Contact iTunes support and explain your situation to them.  They may let you redownload it at no cost.

    If they don't, I'm afraid you'll have to purchase it again.  Sorry.

    Hey there Antonio7,
    You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod nano to your computer with this article:
    Re-download or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad or iPod to a computer
    Transfer your purchases to your computer
    Before you transfer your purchases, make sure that your computer is authorized with the same Apple IDaccount you used to make the purchases. Learn how to authorize your computer using iTunes.
    If you bought the iTunes Store content on your device using multiple Apple ID accounts, you'll need to authorize the computer for each one.
    To transfer purchases from your device to a computer:
    Connect your device to the computer. Wait for its icon to appear in iTunes.
    Go to File > Devices. If you're using iTunes for Windows and can't see the menu bar, learn how to turn on iTunes menus in Windows.
    Choose Transfer Purchases from [device name].
    ​​This feature works only for content bought from the iTunes Store. Any items that you imported from audio CDs or received from other sources won't copy from your device to the iTunes library. However, all podcasts from your device's Podcasts app and copies of all PDFs and books from your device's iBooks app will transfer to the computer. Learn how to transfer media to your iTunes library.
    Then you can sync the music to your iPod touch in the same way you sync music to any device:

  • How do you dowload songs from iPod nano 7th generation to iTunes on another computer?

    I have iTunes on two computers. I bought a movie on one computer, but through a series of events had to erase my iPod on that computer and sync it to a different computer. Now, it will not sync the movie unless it is on the computer I bought the movie from. Because I erased my iPod on the computer I bought the movie, I have to download my iPod to the computer I bought the movie on in order to sync the movie to my iPod. How do you download everything on the Ipod nano 7th generation to iTunes on another computer?

  • HT1363 My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.

    My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.  I have the latest version of iTunes.  Windows has all the most recent updates too.  I can reset the iPod, but the message to Use iTunes to restore comes back and I am stuck.

    Already tried another USB port, still nothing.
    I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.
    It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.
    Please help

  • When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes, a lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this and how can I get rid of it to free up some space?

    When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes and click on my iPod, I can see a graph showing how much space is available on my iPod and what it is being taken up by.  A lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this? I have a big iTunes library, with about 2000 songs, so I don't want all this space taken up by something I don't know what it is. How can I get rid of it?

    OmniDiskSweeper is a good program to see what's taking up space: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/

  • My computer crashed.  How do I sync the songs on my iPod nano back to my iTunes account?

    My PC crashed and I need to sync my iPod nano back to my iTunes account.  How do I do that?

    This is a problem I've had before too, but it's fairly easy to fix without even using iTunes:
    Make sure in the folders options on your computer, you are able to view hidden files and folders.
    Then, go into your iPod with my Computer>iPod control>music. There will be folders called F00, F01, F02 etc. In them will be the music on your iPod (in mp3 or aac format). The file names will be weird, like DGFB or HRRE or whatever, but iTunes or Windows Media Player (if you have Windows 7) will recognise the media info.
    Basically, just copy the files out of the folders and back onto your computer and put them into iTunes like you normally do.
    If you do this right it will work because I have done this before when my computer got a really bad virus and I had to reset it, as I couldn't even log on properly.

  • How can I add the content from a iPod Nano to a new iTunes account

    how can I add the content from a iPod Nano to a new iTunes account

    On the computer in iTunes log into her Apple ID and then see if recent purchases are shown by clicking on her name in iTunes, entering her password and then selecting the option. If there is nothing there then she bought that music with a different Apple ID.
    You can use TouchCopy to move all the songs on the iPod to the computer. Then try to play one of the purchase songs and it should show the account used to purchase it and ask for the password.
