IPod works with Windows but not iMac

I have an 80GB iPod Classic that works perfect on my computer running Windows Vista and iTunes 7. I have only ever used it with iTunes.
My iPod's format is FAT32 (Windows). And it's running software Version 1.1.2 and disk use is enabled.
When i try and plug it into an iMac (iMac G5) running OS X 10.3.9 it doesn't work. It doesn't come up as an external drive so I can't access it as an external disk and it fails to work in iTunes.
I have upgraded the Mac to the latest version of iTunes but this still doesn't solve the problem. I tunes gives me the following error "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted...". This is not the case, my iPod is not corrupted.
How can i get my iPod to work on the Mac?

I had the same problem. Your ipod is formated i believe for windows so it wont come up on your mac. to format it you need to plug it into the mac go onto itunes and if you click on the summary page of ipod the only options you will be able to edit on the ipod from the mac are restore or (i dont know exactly) but there should be a button explaining that you need to restore your ipod and format it for mac.
to do this you need to click the button on the summary page on itunes (if you click on your 80G ipod on the left side) but formating for mac deletes everything off the ipod. it wont be able to transfer music etc if you format for mac on your windows but it will now work on the mac.
i hope u understood because i didnt really make it very clear. but if you dont understand just ask and ill be happy to explain it for you.

New shuffle works with Windows but not with Mac

Just got a new 2nd gen shuffle. Initially it was formatted as Fat32 per Disk Utility on Mac. I reformatted to Mac OS (journaled). iTunes was recognizing the new shuffle on the mac and I created a playlist that showed it took up disk space in the "summary" tab. However nothing played on the shuffle when I disconnected it. I was trying to update the software but that function is greyed out. I tried to click "enable disc use" and when I applied it, it says it can't find the ipod. It wont let me update anything. The only thing I can do is create a playlist that the summary says is on the ipod but it doesnt play.
I then connected it to my Windows XP machine and it asked me to reformat the drive, which I did, then everything worked flawlessly. I would really prefer to download things to the shuffle from my Mac than Windows XP but it just won't let me. I tried using "iPod Updater" and the most recent one from the list was 03/2006 and that didn't help anyhting. "iPod Reset Utility" would not recognize the ipod to reset it even after I sucessfully set it to Mac OS journaled in Disk Utility.
I am very frustrated. This also happened to my Nano I purchased a few months ago and I have to organize it on the PC as well.
I am running iTunes 7.2

I have exactly the same problem with my two
computers, both of which are Macs. The shuffle is
recognised on one, but not the other.
Here's a screenshot of iTunes ->
http://www.simongbrown.com/blog/images/2007/shuffle-no
t-recognised.png
BTW, I also have an older white iPod in use on the
Mac that doesn't work.
I've tried a few things (including running iTunes
under a different user account, reinstalling iTunes)
but nothing seems to help. The only thing left to do
is reinstall the OS, but that sounds a little extreme!
That's way too extreme... Use the shuffle Reset Utility.

HT204387 BOSE Bluetooth wireless headphones work with iPhone but not iMac - Profile issue I assume - but why not!!!!

I have a great pair of BOSE wirless headphones that connect faultlessy to my iPhone. I'm very dissappointed however to find that I cannot use the same headphonse on my iMac or my MacBook Air. I assume it's a bluetooth profile issue but in product utility terms it makes no sense. Is anyone aware of a way of circumventing this resytiction (e.g. third-party product, mac setting,...etc)?

Yes. This has to be the 8.xx iOS.
I have experienced this since purchasing the 6+. Now, I attempting to pair the phone to Sync in my Ford F150, it
can't find the phone. I go through any number of attempts: rebooting the phone, finding a bluetooth device on Sync, etc.
Most of the time it shows a "cannot find bluetooth device". Or the Sync shows a pairing number to type in the phone in order
to pair, but the iPhone doesn't see Sync, so nothing can be done.
Sometimes, and I mean only sometime, the device is paired by itself. (On sync, "choose input: usb or bluetooth" and trying this
several times, Lo and Behold.....wait for it......the iPhone 6+ connects!
This is not what I had, an iPhone 4S, that one pairing, and always paired. (truck off, crank and instantly paired). The old days!
I have check Ford to look for an update. I have the latest from 2012. The final one for my truck model year.
This version of iOS needs works and must be updated again.
I don't know who to contact at Apple but the mods here don't say how to do that. It another Apple waiting and see.
If I find a solution, I will post it immediately. I hope you will post as well. Thanks for reading.

Can manually subscribe with Windows but not with Mac

For some reason I am able to manually subscribe to the below feed just fine with iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I get an error when trying with my iMac (OS X 10.5.8):
*http://feeds.feedburner.com/Metalspeak*
The error I'm getting with my iMac references "An unknown error occured (400)"
I was troubleshooting a different feed and am getting similar results: it works fine with the PC, but not with the iMac:
*http://feeds.feedburner.com/MetalsPeakPodcast*
The error I'm getting on this feed however states "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play"
Can anyone think of why these feeds work with Windows but not with Mac? Any advice is appreciated!

The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. The one for the top episode is
http://www.metalspeak.com/episodes/MetalsPeak 10 - GenresPeak.mp3
This URL contains spaces, which are not allowed in a URL. Browsers - and from what you say iTunes in Windows - handles this by substituting the code %20 for each space when requesting the file; iTunes for Mac does not.
You need either to change the filename for each media file, removing the spaces or substituting something such as an underscore, and then amending the feed accordingly: or at the least to amend the feed by replacing each space with %20.
It's the same problem in the other feed.

TS1363 "iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes" Isn't working!

I've tried all of the things in the "iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes" but none of them work.
I'm on Windows 8 and those are the instrucations I've followed.
The only thing I haven't done is reset my computer to factory mode but that Isn't an option for me cause I got saved games that can't be backed up.
I've literaly tried everything in that help page and it doesn't work.
All I get is the iTouch charging, asking me to trust the computer, I say trust, nothing happens, I check the device manager and it doesn't shw the USB no matter what, I restart the ipod services and the apple software services, nothing happens, I completely take dwn my McAfee firewall and scanning system, it doesn't work, restarting it to make sure no viruses attack, uninstalled Razer Synapsis because it has been a pain in the butt before, that doesn't work, I emptied my Temp file and that didn't work, And in the end the iTouch is charging but not even being see by Itunes and no updates, restarts, reinstallations, uninstallations, checking, researching, and anything else I can do works.
Can someone please explain why apple tech is such a pain when it comes to Windows 8 and how I can fix this without losing 2 years worth of school and saved games?!?!?!?

Try a full teardown as in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates?
A recent poster to forum is suggesting uninstalling WMP from Windows?
Connect the device to a different compuer and back it up there. You should be able to copy off the library to a portable hard drive. See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I have a maginon film scanner bought from ALDI. It works with windows but with OSX Maverick software it keeps crashing as soon as I try and capture an image. I cannot find details of software updates anywhere.

Same question answered here : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5762314?tstart=0
I just popped in with using Mavericks (I got rid of my MBP about a year ago, and just got another one when I got an Air for my wife) and noticed that Mavericks is not working and playing well with a couple of programs I already owned (Paraellels, for example...yes, I spelled it wrong...). I looked for maginon.com and it didn't exist, nor was my google search directed to another location for them, so I postulate that the device may not be in production anymore, thus: no driver updates from the manufacturer.
From my mac-noob-layman's perspective: get some vmware, run windows and use the scanner in your virt machine to capture your images. Put the images in your mac side and work your mac magic on them there.
Peace

CS6 Plugin works on windows but not mac

Hi,
We have been developing a plugin for InDesign since CS3 and have recently ported it to CS6 (it was ported to all previous versions too, as they came out).
I followed the porting guide etc. and on windows it compiles and runs just ok - the plugin works correctly.
But when i compiled the same files on our mac machine and put the .indesignPlugin file in th plugins directory i can't see our plugin's context menu.
I can see that it is in fact loaded on startup (when i remove it ID loads 325 extensions, when i put it back - 326), but still it dosen't seem to work...
I initially thought that the versioning was off but our PluginVersion resource relies solemnly on SDKDef.h , i also tried putiing the file in CS5's plugin directory and got an error message that CS6 is required - so the version info is fine i guess.
We are using xCode 3.2.5 (because we have to support Mac OS 10.5 and 10.4) to build on mac and i've never had problems before - it worked on CS4, CS5 and CS5.5.
The changes i made when porting were minor and only in the code - so what has changed? and how come it works on windows but not on mac?
Any input is greatly appreciated, i've already spent days trying to understand this.
Thanks,
Dan.

Hi and thank you for replying.
The resources do get compiled correctly (i assume this because we do get a .indesign file at the end - which means the ODFRC ran ok). they are linked correctly in the mac project (i saw a file that determines the version - it's linked the same way against my win and mac projects and the win version works fine so i guess that's ok too).
the context menu is just another menu on the "menu bar" (don't know how to call it?) - i.e where the "file" and "edit" etc. menus are.
I can't seem to understand how come this works fine under windows but not under mac - they are essentially the same projects linked against the same resources (the difference being iCode vs VC10 projects).
can this be related to the fact we're using xCode 3.2.5?
Thank you.

Strange on - Wake on LAN (WOL) works with Win2K3, but not Windows 7

Hi,
I have a PC that I originally had Windows 2003 on. With Win2K3, I can send a wakeonlan (magic) packet (WOL) and get it to power on remotely from my home network/LAN.
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, in a dual-boot configuration, i.e., so I can boot the machine to either Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit or Win2K3.
As mentioned, I can power the machine up remotely (from my home network/LAN), but if I've LAST booted into Win7, then shutdown, it doesn't respond to the WOL packet.
I've confirmed that if I boot into Win2K3, then shutdown, the WOL works fine.
I have another PC that has both Win2K3 and Windows 7 (also dual boot), and that works fine with WOL.
One difference between the one that doesn't work vs. the one that works is that the one that works is a machine that I just built a couple of weeks ago, which uses an MSI 880gm-E43 motherboard.
The one that doesn't work also has an MSI motherboard, but it's an older one, an MSI K9NBPM2-FID.
I've cross-checked the various Windows power management settings between the one that works, and the one that doesn't work, but I just can't get WOL to work with Win7 on that older machine. I've even turned the Windows Firewall off completely on the machine where WOL isn't working, but no matter what I've tried thus far, no joy :(...
The only thing that I can think of is that the network card driver (it's the MS one, from the Win7 distribution) might not work with WOL, but I've checked, and it's the latest driver from MS (Nvidia Nforce Networking Controller - 10/17/2008 - 1.0.1.211), and MSI doesn't have a specific Win7 64-bit driver for this motherboard.
So, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about this?
Is there some registry setting or something that might allow WOL to work?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi,
Unbelievable!
Just for the record, I got WOL working with the older machine, JUST after I posted the original msg.
Here's what I did:
- I was in Device Manager, and did Update Driver, but
- I selected to let me choose, and then I checked the "Show Compatible devices" checkbox
Then, a 2nd, older (10/6/2006 - 6.2.0.127) driver appeared, so I figured, "what the heck?" and tried that. I then shut the machine down, and sent a WOL packet to it, and kind of forgot about it (machines in a different room), but a few minutes later "bing!", the machine had powered up and booted into Win7!!
Anyway, as I said, for the record, and hope that this helps someone in the future.
Jim

ShowDocument works on Windows but not Mac

     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
          String command = ae.getActionCommand();
          if(command.equals("save"))
               String insertHTML = getDocumentText();
               showDoc("ProcessPage.asp?BodyCopy='Test'","_blank");
     //Shows a document (htm,asp,..) in a frame
     private void showDoc(String urlstr, String frameName) {
          int pos = getDocumentBase().toString().lastIndexOf("/");
          String DocBase = getDocumentBase().toString().substring(0, pos+1);
          System.out.println("openURL: "+DocBase + urlstr);
          try
          {     URL url = new URL(DocBase + urlstr);
               AppletContext j = getAppletContext();
               j.showDocument(url, frameName); }
          catch (MalformedURLException e) // new URL() failed
          {     System.out.println("new URL() failed for: "+ DocBase + urlstr); }
          catch (IOException e) // openConnection() failed
          {     System.out.println("openConnection() failed for: "+ DocBase + urlstr); }
I am trying to open up a new web page from an applet using showDocument. This works fine on Windows but not on Mac. The applet I am working with extends JApplet. Does anybody have any suggestions?

This is not working for me either. After issuing the showDocument(url, target) command I never see the request come into my webserver log. Although, it only seems to not work when the Mac is setup as Japanese. I know this doesn't make any sense.

Image.source in ItemRenderer works in Windows but not Mac

I have a Flex (AIR) application that is giving me problems on
the Mac. In one of the
Datagrids, I am using an ItemRenderer with an image control.
Some code in the
"set data(value:Object)" function assigns a file path as the
source of the image
control as follows.
imgThumb.source =
File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("pdqtemp").nativePath +
"/" + data.strJPGFileName;
This works correctly in Windows , but not on the Mac.
In this case, the path resolves to the following on the Mac.
/Users/brian/Documents/pdqtemp/artist_01t.jpg
I have verified that the file is in the right place and when
using the path in
the command line console, it correctly addresses that
directory and file. I
don't normally develop apps for the Mac so I am sure there is
something I am
missing.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Jed,
Thanks for responding
That is the exact path assigned to the Source of the Image
control. However, it isn't exactly a trace of the Image.Source
property.
The code in question is attached
The alert shows the path I originally posted and shows that
the fileImgThumb.exists returns False.
As I mentioned, this works perfectly in Windows. There is
some code elsewhere in the app that creates the thumbnail. That
does work on the Mac as the thumbnail image is created and saved
where expected.
I am not sure what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks for your help,
Sid

Ichat works with wireless, but not ethernet

Just moved into new office and bought new iMac. I can get internet with ethernet or wireless, but iChat works only over wireless. This is true with my intel Macbook as well. Is this a port or firewall problem, and if so, why would wireless work, but not ethernet?

Who is supplying the wireless internet connection?
Who is supplying the wired internet connection? If
it's two different entities, the IT Secret Police may
be blocking ports on the wired side.
TimeWarner comes in from the outside, but a private contractor is involved in the setup of the wireless which is connected to the TW modem. But if the wireless goes into the TW cable, why does it work as wireless, but not directly plugged in? It is as if converting the signal to wireless cures the problem.

When I click on pictures on eBay and Facebook...it will not show pictures/enlargements...just blanks....will work with IE. NOT ff

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
