Mac iPod used as USB stick with Windows

I am using my iPod mini with Mac but would like to be able to transfer files between my Mac and Windows computers. Unfortunately I havn't had any luck there. Use of disc is enabled and when I connect my iPod to a PC it is recognized as connected - but still it is not possible to transfer any files?!

Hello,
I recently purchased my first Mac and reformatted my
20GB color iPod to sync with iTunes 7 on my Mac.
When I connect my iPod to my PC to obtain files, the
computer asks me to reformat the iPod so that it can
be used on Windows. It informed me that reformating
would erase the iPod. How can I transfer files
using my iPod without reformating? If I have to
reformat, will I still be able to auto-sync with
iTunes on my Mac? I don't know if this is a
question that has been asked a million times, I
tried searching the forums, but didn't find
specifically what I was looking for. I am not
technologically savvy and am still learning how to
use my Mac, so any help you provide would be
fabulous!
Thanks!
Hey, I have the same problem right now.Before when i had it formatted for my pc, i was able to mount as an harddrive on pc and mac(but it took a while on mac)and sync with iTunes on pc or mac. If i were you, back up everthing on your iPod, and format it for PC.
Good Luck!!

  • Can I install Windows 8.1 as Bootcamp partition from OSX Mountain Lion using a USB stick?

    I have the following:
    Bootable USB stick with Windows 8.1 - 64 bit
    MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 - it's probably 3-4 years old.
    The Bootcamp partition currently has Windows 7 installed.
    I want to know whether I can install Windows 8.1 from a USB stick into a Bootcamp partition. Apple's article on the topic refers to Bootcamp 5.1, but my OSX install has Bootcamp 5.0 - I am assuming 5.1 comes with the Mavericks version.  I don't want to upgrade to Mavericks because I am running out of space as it is on the OSX partition.
    Thus my question. So can I?

    Your laptop has a DVD drive, right? If so you need to burn your ISO to a disc, will not work off USB

  • How can I keep bootable partitions from showing when I want to use my usb stick without the option command at boot up?

    Im using a usb stick with bootable diagnostic partitions and a extra partition for diags that run in the OS. When i want to use diagnostics from this extra partition on a mac thats already booted, I have to wait for all the bootable partitions to mount as well as the one partition that I need. Is there a way to hide these bootable partitions when using the usb drive as a storage device to run diags in the OS?
    Thanks

    I think I may have to look into a redirect line in my htaccess file so that direct loads of my mp3's route through my website page.
    If you do this you may find iTunes won't read the files, so I should test carefully on one file first if possible.

  • USB compatible with Windows 7 and Mac OS X

    Hi everyone.
    I bought myself today a Datatraveler 32GB usb stick from Kingston. I do some computer fixing in my spare time.
    I want to put my personal tools on this stick. So when I go to people who have Windows I take the usb stick with me and I have all my tools on it. On the other side, when I go to people with a Mac, the usb stick has to be compatible with that too. So I thought, when I make 2 partitions on it and I format the first one with Mac OS X extented and the second with NTFS, then I got a usb stick that is compatible with both OSes. But when I format this in Disk Utility my Windows PC doesn't recognize the stick as compatible.

    Hi Joel,
    just as an idea: why not use FAT32 as file system ?
    It's compatible with both Windows 7 and Mac OSX.
    For your immenent problem:
    You have to use MBR (Master Boot Record) as partition scheme on the stick, then Windows 7 can format its partition with NTFS and OSX can format with MacOS Extended (Journaled) on its designated partition.
    Be aware of some stories that using MacOS Extended file system on an MBR partitioned drive/stick might lead to 'deteriorating' problems later on.
    Personally I use FAT32 for my USB-Sticks without any problems going back and forth between Windows and Mac OSX.
    Regards

  • I cant download new music to my ipod.  I am now using a new computer with Windows 8.

    I cant download new music to my ipod.  I am now using a new computer with Windows 8.  Itunes is now on the new computer.  New songs apear there and will play on the computer.

    I plugged my ipod into the computer, it "interacted" briefly, but when finished, the new songs were not on the ipod.  (It is an older ipod I have had for years).  I just read on a different post how to access the latest itunes program update.  I did that, then plugged the ipod into the computer again.  The ipod is now real busy interacting with the computer a lot longer.  Maybe that fixed it.  I will let you know after it is finished.  Thanks for the help!

  • Hi i bought a new 500gb hard drive on my 2011 macbook pro, it is a blank hardrive and i forgot to save my other files on an external hard drive , i have a usb stick with mavericks installed on it. can i just go ahead and do a straight install by using it?

    hi i have a macbook pro 2011 model, i decided to upgrade my hardrive and bought a 500gb blank hardrive, my query is because i wasnt able to save most of my files and my operating system to an external hard drive, i have a usb stick with a mavericks os installed on it. will i be able to do a straight install by just doing this method? i will be grateful for any tips or help u might offer, thanks.

    Is it just bootable or does it have the Mavericks installation files on it? If so, yes. If not, no. You might consider getting an external enclosure. Put your old drive in it and boot to its Recovery partition. You can install from there. As a matter of fact, you can run Migration Assistant and get all your stuff over too.

  • BIOS Recovery using a USB stick for S10-3t

    im from south africa and am having trouble contacting my support center. 
    i tried to flash my bios and my netbook won't start up now, and i need to recover my bios manually.
    please help me with the following:
    1. procedure to use my usb stick as a recovery disk, what files need to be on it, and how to make it bootable from my s10-3t.
    2. how to use the usb stick to recover my bios and boot my netbook.
    please help :-)

    Hi thanks yigit.
    I managed to contact the service provider, but they have a lead time of about 4 weeks for a simple repair like flashing the bios...
    I have an estimate of around $70 from a reputable repair center to do the flashing, with a lead time of a few hours as they do the repair on-site.
    My question: does the warranty that comes with the s10-3t cover flashing the bios? If not, would it be wise for me to have the flashing done by the other repair center, and not your local service provider?
    (Its actually very inconvenient, as you only have the one company being a Lenovo partner in SA, with 2 branches. And they do not collect the device for repair...
    Maybe if I explained exactly what I did to land in my situation it would be best to get the best help:
    I wanted to use a PCI-E modem I had already, instead of purchasing a new one at around $200. My modem is a Sierra MC8755 with PID/VID of 1199:6804.
    I upgraded from Windows 7 Starter to Ultimate, updated bios from lenovo's site, then tried to install only to get the error message "Unauthorized device installed. Please shut down and remove device"
    I then found online forums saying to edit the bios.
    I edited my bios (24CN62WW) at MOD5100.ROM, adding my modem ID where the Ericsson F3607gw:  0BDB_1905 ID's were with Hex editor. I switched the values as required, ie "99 11 04 68"
    I flashed those successfully, but still got the error message.
    I then read a post that stated that you may edit the POST with the phoenix bios editor, by checking and unchecking certain sectors to stop the checking of whitelisted devices on startup. After doing this, the bios was created successfully, the system restarted but failed to boot. It starts up, and then stops after the LED's come on, and the processor light flashes once.

  • Can you boot a Mac Pro using a USB Pen Drive?

    Hello.
    Can you boot a Mac Pro using a USB Pen Drive? OS=Windows or Linux or BSD or MacOS... I know it is bios specific on a PC if the option is available. If this is possible, does anyone have a link to instructions?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Not to get in to an argument over semantics here, but by saying "Windows should boot if you have installed the requisite Boot Camp drivers," you are implying "that the Boot Camp drivers [are] needed for Windows to boot." I was just clarifying your post so people didn't get confused.
    As for booting a Mac Pro off a USB flash drive, if you have been successful in doing so, can you share with me your method? I've tried booting of an OCZ Rally2 4GB flash drive and it's never worked on my Mac Pro. It doesn't show up when I hold option down and if I try to boot through rEFIt, I get an error about my Mac's firmware not supporting USB booting (I have the latest firmware installed, too). I've tried GPT and MBR partitions, both to no avail. Booting off USB hard disk drives is no problem though. And I can boot off this flash drive on a Core Duo iMac.
    Any ideas?

  • How can I use a USB camera with cRIO 9022. Please see my strange problem.

    Hi,
            I would like to use a USB camera with NI cRIO 9022. I used the same USB camera with NI USB 6216 DAQ device and developed a VI(within a PROJECT and outside it). So, It is working fine with NI USB 6216 device when I use the Vision Assistant Express VI and gets detected in its Initialization Window.  Please see JPEG File 3 where I get NO ERROR.
            I am facing a problem when I want to use it with NI cRIO 9022. What exactly I am doing in this case is:
    1) Create a NEW PROJECT
    2) Add Targets and Devices(NI cRIO 9022)
    3) Use the Scan Interface mode
    4) Create a NEW VI under the cRIO 9022 device 
    5) Use a Timed Loop(Synchronized with Scan Engine) for continuous Data Acquisition and Sending from the Analog I/O modules.
    6) Use the Vision Assistant available through the NI Vision Acquisition 2010 Module(I get STUCK HERE! The Express VI opens the Initialization Window, but I don't see the USB camera like in JPEG File 3)
    I am facing difficulties with this HOST COMPUTER, cRIO implementation differences. On my host computer I have the software packages as shown in JPEG File 1, and on my cRIO 9022 as shown in JPEG File 2.
    Can someone guide me how to overcome this and get the USB camera detected when I am using NI cRIO 9022?
    NOTE: If this is a problem with software mismatches on HOST and NI cRIO 9022 device, please see JPEG Files 1 and 2 for available software and Host and cRIO 9022.
    Thanks.
    Amar.

  • I wish to use Premeier Elements 13 with Windows XP. Is this possible?

    I use Premier Elements 10 on a PC with Windows XP. I wish to use Premeier Elements 13 with Windows XP. Is this possible?

    Manstandvd
    Just a just in case mention if you try to download and install Premiere Elements 13 to your Windows XP 32 bit or 64 bit computer....
    I was able to download the Adobe tryout for Premiere Elements 13 to my Windows 7 64 bit computer, but it would not install as per Adobe's statement that Premiere Elements 13 on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OSX 10.7 is not supported.
    If Window XP is your only computer, then you probably will be able to download the Premiere Elements 13 tryout but not install it.
    Do you have Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer as well as the XP?

  • Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
    Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
    A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.
