IPod setup on Mac now needed for PC with Vista

I have had my iPod setup on a Mac and now am using a PC with Vista. I installed iTunes 8.x and when I connected my iPod I was informed that it had to be reformatted for use with Windows.
This iPod is packed with music. Is there any way to salvage the content on this iPod?
Any help greatly appreciated!

You might be able to do something with a 3rd-party ipod manager, but I suspect they are also either Mac or Windows-based, as in either/or and not "works with both". Here is a good page to start researching it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodmanagers
I would steer clear of the free ones. Also, and contact the company who sells whichever one you choose to make sure it can do what you want.
And you could see if any of your friends have a Mac, just to get the music files off the iPod and then put back on after you've Windows-formatted it.

Originally formatted for Mac, now need to use with Windows....

I have a 1st Gen iPod Mini that I had formatted and used (rarely) with my Mac. I now want to wipe it clean and sync it to my iTunes for Windows (7.0.1.8). I am using a brand new Apple Dock Connector to USB 2.0 since my PC isn't able to handle the Firewire cable the Mini came with.
I connected my Mini to my PC (new Dell laptop) and it pops up a dialogue box stating that the iPod appears corrupted and advised Restoring and/or disconnecting and reconnecting. I reconnected and that did not fix. I then tried to Restore and got this error: "Problem downloading software; requested resource not found".
I CAN see my iPod in iTunes. I've read a number of different links but I'm at a loss. I think that what I need to do is reformat my Mini to use iTunes for Windows but can't seem to get that far. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is...suprise...supposed to be a holiday gift for someone!Thanks.

1. I have an Ipod universal dock, but now need adapters. how can I order 16 to 20 adapters only?
2. Does apple has a lead which has iphone pin on one end and HDMI on the other so that I can connect my universal apple dock to my BOSE V-30 for better sound quality than a composite cable?

2.
something like this?

Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted.

Palm 130 software needed for new windows vista

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
Please visit the Windows Hotsync board, where you will find many threads about synchronizing older Palm devices like the m130 to a Vista computer, including this one which is stickied near the top of that board.
You'll need to use Palm Desktop 6.2.2 and a free utility from www.pimlicosoftware.com called PalmHotsyncSetup. Note, this will only work for 32-bit Vista. There are no 64-bit USB drivers. If your desktop is Vista 64-bit, you will be limited to IR (infrared beam) sync, which will also require an IR adapter for your computer.
While I'm at it, I will relocate this thread to the Windows Hotsync board.

Is there any internet security needed for use with the ipad 2??

is there any internet security needed for the ipad 2? I.e. For when you're shopping online etc?

You don't have to purchase a mouse. You already have one, it's wireless and the only one that will work on an iPad.

Which version packages do I need for T530 with Windows 7 x64?

- Power Management Driver:
This version http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032258

This version http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS028929

Access privileges for Podcasts with VIsta

I'm having problems when attempting to "get" Podcasts that I've subscribed to. The error message states " There was a problem downloading 'name of podcast'. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation". These are all free podcasts, not requiring account set up or anything other than subcribing.
This only happens on my Wintel machine running Vista--on the Mac side I'm able to get the same episodes without a hitch. I've dug through the defender and administrator settings, but haven't found the solution.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Have you tried using Disk Utility's Repair
Permissions function?
Just tried. Both the "Verify..." and "Repair..."
buttons are greyed out.
Also, I noticed that, in this same Disk Utility
window, that next to "Owners Enabled:" it says "NO".
Is this part of the problem...that the Mac doesn't
see the iPod as "owned" by anyone? For what it's
worth, when I "Get Info" on the iPod, the user (my
wife) shows up, and is shown as being able to Read &
Write. So, according to that, it seems that someone
does "own" it.
Still baffled, but thanks for the tip, 0Ari0. We
might be getting somewhere...?
Yeah... it seems like YOU'RE not the owner...

No support for dv1000 with vista?

I upgraded (?) from XP to vista ultimate and now have no audio. "no audio device installed" it tells me. When I attempt to repair this, HP informs me that there isn't any support for this laptop running vista. What's up with that? There used to be sticker on it saying it was designed for XP but vista ready.
There is one more possible cause.... When I installed the vista, I did so on a samsung 320 gig hd that I purchased from a friend. It came for a Dell XPS something and I still have a problem or two from that.
Now my dvd writter has vanished. I am about to attempt to reinstall that....

nevermind found my answer here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090114155845AAzvnYB
which basically states you need to go to summary and select Manual Library Management

Updating Zen Sleek for use with Vista?

Hello,I've just bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium. It is recognising my player but is requesting I download drivers and the installation cd does not work. I have been searching for a solution to this and believe there is a way of updating my player using a computer with XP.Could someone please tell me how to do this Will I lose all stored music if I do update the firmware
Thank you!

Yes,you will lose all the music files when updating the firmware. What firmware is on the device now? You will need to do the update on XP SP2 with Windows Media Player 0 & no WMP components.

After 10.6 install, double-press now needed for f9, f10?

I have a MBP 2.4 GHx Intel Core 2 Duo, and finally upgraded to 10.6 (and 4GB of ram). I used to be able to press F9 (and F10) to enable expose kfor all open windows (and all application-specific open windows). Now when I press F9 (once) it looks like it it performs the function and immediately resets itself to the original window as if I had pressed the F9 button twice. However, when I actually do press F9 twice, it does the quick function/reset then function again and stays on the screen. F10 has the same problem. Why do I need to press F9 twice in order for the function result to remain on the screen?
F11 and F12 work just fine ... no double-press needed.

Quoted from elsewhere on the web (link): See the note at the bottom as relates specifically to your query...
Short version:
In the Security pane of System Preferences, click the Advanced button in the Snow Leopard Firewall tab to get to the rest of the options found in the Leopard Firewall tab.
Longer version:
When Leopard arrived, Apple changed the interface to the Mac OS X firewall and caught a fair amount of flak as a result for the confusing way the options were offered. (It also made things worse by deciding to turn the firewall off by default.) In Snow Leopard, it has retained the application-based part of firewall services but has tried to simplify the presentation. The tab now opens with a note of whether the firewall is on or off, a Start/Stop button, and at the bottom, an Advanced button.
The Advanced button opens a sheet that present basically the same options as those found in Leopard. But Snow Leopard replaces Leopard's three confusing radio button options (Allow all incoming connections, Allow only essential services, and Set access for specific services and applications) with a single straightforward checkbox "Block all incoming connections." Below that is a scrolling list, carried over from Leopard, that shows which services have been made available (through the Sharing pane) and which specific applications have been either allowed or denied incoming access. As in Leopard, "essential services" (Bonjour, DHCP, and IPsec) are always allowed to accept incoming connections regardless of user settings, but you can now block access to File Sharing and other services.
Note: If you install Snow Leopard over an existing Leopard system, it will pick up your basic firewall settings (along with many other settings). However, if you do a clean install to a blank or erased disk, Snow Leopard will set the firewall to OFF by default, just as Leopard did.

Syncing a previous iPod connected to Mac now with Windows 7 PC

I have been using my iPod with my Mac ongoing....
now I am traveling and will be taking a netbook/Windows 7. I'll be downloading iTunes into the netbook PC and then putting selected music folders from the Mac into the netbook iTunes.
My question is:
when I plug the iPod into the now-loaded netbookPC iTunes, will it cause problems of syncing the two together(not work properly, losing existing iPod music, reading song files properly,re-writing music files, etc.).
When it asks me the 1st time if I want to Sync with the netbook iTunes, how do I handle this with the least amount of potential problems ?
Thanks

So you have stuff on your iPod that right now does not also exist on the computer? If so, you need a way to move the stuff off the iPod onto the computer, correct?
If so...

Setup a Mac mini server for small business

Im trying to come up with a solution for a families small business.
theres two of them that operate it out of their home and need something central to access all the company data and documents.
one travels and one stays back, so the one traveling all they do is forward an email and thats the current documentation they have is in email, no database or file archiving.
we also want to get their old files and documents scanned in and accessible too, instead of digging through boxes of stuff.
they also would like remote access while on the road to access their data, i presume they may use macbooks and possibly iOS devices.
I was thinking a mac mini, and an airport/time capsule for backup purposes and remote accessibility.
any suggestions on file management and remote access?
thank you!

Thanks for those suggestions.
They need file sharing on the road, away from the home office. I think I understand the concept, but aside from my own personal set-up of OS X server and back to my mac type things, its not really business-y in my opinion to offer them.
Unless they believe it will good enough.
So how would i set-up dyDNS? i have a test system i can work with if there are steps you'd recommend?
I just want to offer them a way to access their documents while traveling to sites through the Apple ecosystem.
BackBlaze, i hear about this, my only concern is if this company disappears then what? yknow. Crash plan is a nice alternative, but I'm looking for inside the Apple box methods here if possible.
i really appreciate the ideas.

What MAC Is Needed For App Development

I need to purchase a Mac to develop apps on for college. What is the minimum I can purchase to build, test, and debug my apps before release. Should I purchase a new computer or will a used one be good to start with. This will be my first mac, so any assistance will be helpful.

Hey TechArtist, like you i reccently invested in my first ever mac. I got the standard macbook pro retina 13' late 2013 model. I have to tell you its a beauty. It is very light, thin, fast and perfect for xcode and other IDE's(such as eclipse, android studio and dreamweaver etc.). The screen is so AMAZING and it makes the code look so neat and crisp. My friend has the 2012 13' macbook pro so i know which one i like the most. Compared to mine his is slower then the newer model, not that light and as seeing you are a college student you might would want something light and thin. But seeing as you would like a cd drive unless you wont be using it often you might want to go for the 2012 one. There is a noticable difference in speed but its not a big gap. It really does come down to personal preference to be honest. Just go to the apple store and use each macbook for around 10-20 mins and see which one you'd like. Also i would reccommend not to get the macbook air as its not that great for developing (friend also has a macbook air).

Mac Drivers Needed for LaserJet 1020 - Product# Q5911A

Does anyone know of an HP Driver that will work with the LaseJEt 1020 and either of these operating systems?

Hi,
The specific model is not compatible with Mac OS X and therefore the issues:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-LaserJet-1020-Printer-series/439423/model/439428/document/c01...

Ensure the printer is powered on and connected to your Mac.
Open System Preferences > Print & Scan.
Click the plus sign and select the listed 1020 printer.
Clcik the Use drop down and click on Select Printer Software, locate the HP Laserjet 1022 and add the printer.
Now try printing using the created print queue.
Hope that work,
