New Ipod and Windows ME

Hey guys,
I just bought the U2 Special Edition 20gb Ipod and I have an old (~5yrs.) HP pavilion that runs on Windows ME edition. Will I be able to transfer my songs to the Ipod without having to upgrade to Windows XP? I'd rather not upgrade because I am afraid that my computer will start crashing a lot. What about the iTunes that come with the iPod, will they work?
Thanks!

it doesnt work with ME
you need Win2K or better

  • New IPod and having trouble

    I just bought a new IPod and Windows will not reconize it and I am having trouble installing the software that came with it.
    Windows brings up a warning screen about the software is not digitally something or another.
    I tried the newest updater and it also can not install and I get the same warning screen.
    Anti-virus is turn off also!
    My IPod is a fifth generation 30GB.
    My windows is xp home with service 2 on it.
    Any ideas that can resolve this?
    TIA

    Did iTunes install?
    Does it run?

  • Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes?   Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere.  Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

  • IPod and Windows x64 Professional?

    Ok, This is the day i have waited for. Windows XP 64bit edition. I tried my new iPod and it could not read it for the life of me. So i reinstalled the old windows xp w/service pack 2 and all is well. Does iPod not work for windows xp 64bit edition?

    Just wouldn't read the iPod at all. In iTunes or in My Computer.
    hmmmm. okay, haven't heard this reported as a problem for 64-bit, but i don't think i've seen a case of someone using it with an ipod video before.
    just checking ... have you seen this document yet?

  • I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which died,when I open my iTunes it does not show the new iPod, and refuses to allow me to sync my existing library, the new iPod does not show in my computer only on devices, any suggestions ?

    Question: I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which "died" My computer does not recognize the new iPod and only shows it in devices and printers. I cannot sync my existing iTunes to the new iPod, there is no way I can do it. Any help please?

    Hey there longislandmacca,
    It sounds like your iPod is not recognized in either Explorer, or in iTunes on your PC. That can be frustrating, expecially when its a new device. I recommend you use the following article to help resolve that issue named:

  • How do I format my new ipod for windows?

    I already have itunes 7 on my computer. I have read that the ipods come formatted for a mac, and you need to format them for windows. I have read about opening the updater. The updated is not listed as a program on my computer. I also would not want to run the updater and accidentally update the firmware. Some posts have said you just need to plug in the new ipod and it works. I do not expect to be that lucky.

  • New Ipod and new computer-how to transfer

    I just got the new ipod video and had the 20gb. I now have a new computer and new ipod. How do I transfer my songs to my new ipod and computer?
    any help would be appreciated.

    If you transfer your library from the PC to the Mac, and then plug in your new ipod to the new Mac, a question will pop up asking you whether you want this computer's library to be transferred to the iPod. Click Yes, and it will start synching with whatever is in the library.
    You can also use some programs, like "Senuti" (for mac, freeware) to rip off the contents FROM your iPod TO your new Mac. I personally like Senuti since it has an iTunes-like interface except in reverse.

  • HT1695 I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little bit of information in the folder that came with it, all I can do is turn it on, but it just powers down after a few seconds.  How do I work this thing?

    I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little information that came with it, all I can do is turn it on.  Then in a few seconds it goes black, never having brought up a screen to do anything!  Help!  What do I do to get this thing going?

    You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.

  • If i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it as the option 'set up as new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos and ect?

    if i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it to the option 'set up as a new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and log into my apple ID so i can just restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos, contacts, ect. and then later i can add contacts that i need/want instead of them restoring them from icloud?
    The reason i asked this question is because i have been wondering this a lot ever since i got an exchange on this ipod (and ive only had it for a few weeks now) because my last ipod had a lot of problems. so after i restored my ipod with my computer/itunes, i downloaded apps that i wanted, and then when i went to the storage to see how much storage was left, it said 0 bytes. i was freaking out because i didnt know how that could be, i mean, cause like, that is impossible when i just 'purchased' it, that the space was full but i looked and all my pictures were on this ipod and i already put them on my computer so i dont need them anymore thats why i wanna reset it now so there is nothing on it so i can have more space for stuff to do and download on it.
    it is updated to iOS 8 but that happened when i purchased it, so i didnt have a choice to update it even though i didnt want to update to iOS 8...
    and i hope you understand my problem..
    i would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if someone could tell me a solution to my problem!!! thank you so much!

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • I used my apple ID for my daughters new iPod and now we have the same number! Please help

    I just started up my daughters new iPod and use my apple id and now we have the same number! How do I change this on my daughters iPod? I want her to be able to use my apple ID but I'd like her to have her own number... Is this possible?

    Create a new ID for her:
    On the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
    Continue to use the common ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

  • I have a new ipod and when I sign in to Words with Friends it says that user name is already in use. How can I continue using the same user name with a different ipod?

    I have a new ipod and added all my apps to it. When I sign in to Words with Friends it says that "user name is already in use" because it is linked to my old ipod. How can I use the same user name with my new ipod?

    Was the iPod setup via iTunes on this computer?
    Setup via wifi?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?           
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
