My iPod which works on windows iTunes is not recognized by Mac iTunes

My original iPod was synced to iTunes via a Windows machine. That machine is gone and I now use a Mac, latest OS version. My Mac iTunes will not recognize the IPod. How do I restore so that I can use the iPod on my Mac ITunes?

Since your iPod is in windows format, you have to turn it into mac format, then your mac iTuens can recognize it.

  • Does the iPod Mini Work with Windows?

    I am thinking of buying an iPod mini but I don't have an Apple computer. Does the iPod mini work with Windows efficiently? Thanks....

    Hello Ian,
    Can you be really specific about the necessary Windows XP updates needed? I run XP Pro on a rather new computer and just got an IPOD mini. I'm ready to tear my hair out because iTunes seems to crash my computer every time I change one CD for another. iTunes runs REALLY, REALLY slow for me. Also read on the board that iTunes 6.0 and the mini don't work well together. True or not true?
    Thanks - Genevieve

  • Will my ipod classic work with windows 8

    I am finally updating my Windows XP desktop to a Windows 8 laptop.  Will my ipod classic work with Windows 8?  I've seen a ton of problems from other users with regard to compatibility.

    Do yourself a big favor. Switch to Windows 7. (Or buy a Mac.)

  • Will Ipod Touch work with Windows 8

    Will IPod Touch work with Windows 8?  Why is that not even a listed option in the help feature?

    Apple has just not got around to revising the documentation to reflect Win 8. Just use instructions for Win 7

    iPod is stuck in recovery mode, and not recognized by iTunes.
    Tried all of the recommended resets and combinations mentioned, but the ipod is still not recognized.  Genius at apple said it may be a hardware error, "The button is broke" but all of the buttons and cords work and i proved it to him. He then said he doesnt know, ma Now what?

    If it does not work on other computers then I agree with the Genius

  • HT1339 I have tried all the troubleshooting tips online but my Classic ipod doesnt work. My Itunes keeps telling me that it cannot restore the ipod because the ipod is busy. What can I do?

    Have you tried rebooting for the Mac and iPod to see if that helps? To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    It wouldn't hurt to also try plugging the iPod into another USB port and use a different USB sync cable.

    Did it work with previous ii.x version?
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Did you do everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Including
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • IPod Classic works and connects but does not synchronise

    Hi! I have a 2007 160gb iPod Classic and I know at 8 years old you'd expect things to be falling apart, but I'm not ready for Bryan the iPod to die just yet and if I can fix him I'd very much like to
    So the iPod has the standard age related issues of jumping a bit in songs and making loud whirring noises but I'm cool with that - it's characterful haha. The main issue at the moment is that the iPod won't synchronise on any software. I've tried to synchronise on several computers with both iTunes and Spotify and when I press the sync button this happens:
    iTunes / Spotify does nothing
    The iPod makes some noises and shows the 'Synchronising' screen for about 4 seconds
    The iPod goes back to the 'connected' screen
    iTunes sometimes freezes, or still does nothing
    I've tried resetting the iPod, which was hard because iTunes kept freezing - but I did it! Made no difference.
    The iPod is recognised by the computer/software and shows up in My Computer
    It's fully charged
    I'm using Windows 8 and the most recent iTunes
    Help me if you can! Please! Thanks

    Hi Brendan,

    Tried restoring it etc, it managed to transfer my latest music but delete my old ones and it wouldn't sync with my itunes library.
    Please advise..
    Thanks

  • Ipod nano (both 6th and 7th gen) not recognized by itunes

    Ipod nano (both 6th and 7th gen) not recognized by itunes. Before you send me to the help pages, i have followed EVERY STEP you provided, from uninstalling, removing temp files... you name it. I was recently upgraded to windows 8.1.

    For anyone else having this problem, I found this solution to work. Try this first:
    a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
        - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
        - connect your USB device
        - if ITunes loads, close it.
    b) File explorer:
    Open File explorer and browse to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
    right click on the one ending in "INF"
    Select Install.  It's very quick.
    remove the USB device
    c) Restart the computer.
    When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.
    d)If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    f) If still not works, try re-install iTunes. Go into the Unstall Programs (in Control Panel) and uninstall everything that says Apple, and uninstall Bonjour. With the fresh install of iTunes, everything came back and is should work. Hope it helps.

  • HT6001 the version 11.1.4 of iTunes not working good because it's not recognizing my iPhone and I can't do anything.

    the version 11.1.4 of iTunes not working good because it's not recognizing my iPhone and I can't do anything.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Windows 8.1 not recognizing Webcams

    Has this problem of Windows 8.1 not recognizing webcams been fixed yet?
    I updated to 8.1 and my webcam was not recognised (Microsoft Lifecam Cinema) I thought my cam may be faulty so bought a new com (Logitech C270) same problem.
    So finally I reinstalled Windows 8 at the cost of losing every thing on my hard drive. I want update as I liked most of 8.1 but will not until I can use my webcams.
    I went through all the rigmarole of reinstaling drivers etc. So please dont give be the stock answer of installation as its already been done.
    All I need to know is if Microsoft has fixed this problem or not.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    With so many brands of webcams and cameras available, there are many reasons why something might not work. Each brand is different, so it's a good idea to check the manufacture's website for user guides and troubleshooting help.
    I checked Windows Compatibility Center, found Logitech C270 Webcam is compatible with Windows 8.1. However, some people still had problem with Windows 8.1.
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/ProductDetailsViewer?Name=Logitech%20C270%20Webcam&vendor=Logitech&Locale=1033%2C2057%2C3081%2C4105%2C16393&ModelOrVersion=V-U0018&BreadCrumbPath=Logitech%20C270&LastSearchTerm=Logitech%2BC270&Type=Hardware&tempOsid=Windows%208.1
    If you have any problem with Webcam in Windows 8.1. You can provide as more as details about your problem, then we can work together to resolve this problem.
