My Ipod 30G Video shows that it is setup for Windows, How can I change that

I am new to ipods but not to itunes.. I have a Power Mac G5 and am running itunes 605.
I opened my new ipod and knew that I would have to charge it for quite a few hours before I could play!
My wife was using my preciouls Mac, so i had to resort to getting my Work laptop (PC junk) out of the bag.
I plugged the new ipod into the USB port and was prompted top register my new Ipod, which I did. I then left my new ipod charging overnight.
This evening when I returned home from work I plugged my new ipod into my Mac and a prompt told me that the software needed upgrading.
I downloaded the ipod SW updater and opened it.
To my horror I see that Mac is greyed out and my ipod is configured for Windowzzzzzzzz
HORROR!!!.. what can I do?
Please help, I'm anxiouls to download the SW update and update my new ipod with my itunes on my Mac!!
Thanks!
Steve

Thanks for the help, I did this and my upadter now says that my ipod is configured for a Mac.
One more question.. the SW update button is greyed out. Does this mean that my ipod has the latest SW and doesn't need updating? or is something wrong?
I used the latest updater!
Thanks Again!
Steve

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and tap the Apple ID, select logout. Then login with your new ID

  • I reorganised my music organisation totally in iTunes on my Mac (Lion). iTunes does not sync this new artist organisation to the iPod and many albums are divided over several artists. How can I change this?

    I've called the Apple helpline. The only way to organise music on the iPod classic, is to use playlists. They themselves can be organised in playlist folders.

  • I'm trying to update the software but on the app store the software is showing with a random app id. How can I change this?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to export a movie from Final Cut Pro X. But this option is not opening when I click it to export. So I read some foruns and people having the same problem as I'm having now. They solved this problem buy updating the software, so I went to do the same thing, but on the app store app, when I click to update, it gives me a random apple ID and I can not change it to my one.
    Has any one experience this problem before?

    I see! That's the thing, I'm just afraid to lose the edit that I have at the moment.
    As Final Cut Pro X does not give me the option to save it, it saves automatically. I don't really know how to back up. Do you have any particular method?

  • My daughter has a ipod when i set it up i used my info how can i change her ipod

    how do i change an ipod email

    The easiest way is to restore the device to factory settings and set it up as a new device, and then use her e-mail (you can get her a free e-mail account on either Google G-Mail, or Yahoo,) and her Apple ID.  You can get her an ID without using a credit card...  See  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534  READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE BEFORE YOU START!!!!!

  • IPhone 5 Sprint shows wrong number in All Contacts. How can I change it in iOS 7.1?

    I bought an iPhone 5 16GB for sprint on eBay. When I swapped phone it wouldn't let me call out or text. My data worked but everything else didn't. I switched from a galaxy s3. Now the weird part is that Under All Contacts it doesn't show my number. Same thing under Setting>Phone. Both were wrong and I don't know what to do
    I called sprint and best buy. I did the ##update# numerous times. What can I do to fix this? It's on IOS 7.1. Any advice?
    I would greatly appreciate it.

    iMessage and FaceTime work with iCloud. Change your Apple I.D in iCloud as well as in iMessage (SETTINGS - MESSAGES). Either turn off and on again iMessage and it would ask you to sign in with your Apple I.D or change it at "Receive at" by clicking on "Apple I.D" (Sign out and sign in with your new Apple I.D.)

  • I visit the app store to refresh my CAD WS. However, when i click the button below the brand to refresh, the ID certification turns up and it doesn't show my ID but other's. How can I change this ID into mine?

    I have passed the ID certification in app store in the settings though . I just can't download the programme as the ID certification doesn't show my ID.

    Nothing can be better if you can read Chinese below.

  • My ipod 5th gen is connected to an old ip address, how can i change it?

    By the way: everyone elses phones are connected to the same wifi but all have a different ip address then mine.

    What do you mean by reset the router?
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • The apple id that comes up on my i phone is not mine and i do not have the password for it how can i change it back to mine ?

    How do i change apple id without password . I have tried to change it but the email gets sent to a generic address. Can anyone please help ?
    Thank you !
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them originally, regardless of whether or not you are still using this ID for iTunes.  If these apps were purchased with your former husband's ID you won't be able to update them without providing the password for this ID.  You will have to delete them from your phone and your iTunes library and re-purchase them using your current ID in order to stop this.

  • IPod 30g video photo storage question

    Can I use iPod 30g video as my iPhoto backup? My question is, does it store original photo full size? Do I have to resize my photos before I send them to my iPod? I only need less than 10g for my music, the rest I plan to use for photos. Thanks Alex

    You are correct, the iPod does NOT come with a charger, most of us here are disappointed with that, that would be an extra $30 out of your pocket to get. Yes USB is the cable it uses. You can charge it through the computer or (if you have the adapter) through an outlet, via usb. As far as the iPod mini connection, I think it may be different, but I could be wrong, never owned one I'll look into that.
    Actually I don't want to say anything, I really don't know, lol, and you are welcome Alex good luck with your iPod and enjoy .

  • I can no longer sync music to any of my ipods.  It shows that it is syncing,but it is stuck and won't go past the "syncing to ipod' state

    I can no longer sync music to any of my ipods.  It shows that it is syncing, but it doesn't.  It worked fine a few weeks ago.  Any suggestions?

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Unfortunately, I don't think it solved the problem. I believed the new iPod thing solved the weird behavior problem, but after that the button stopped working.
    Do you know how to contact Genius? Because I don't think I can find a store in my area, when I tried to.
