Should I wait to buy an ipod or just say forget it and do it.

I'm currently running a powerbook, and I want to buy an ipod..but I'd be using the ipod on windows as well.
Should I just say forget it, and wait until I decide on one machine or the other, or should I buy it anyways?
This is my first ipod I'd be buying myself so I'm not sure what to do.

Format the iPod on your Windows machine and set it up to Manually manage your music and you can use it on both machines. You will have to manually drag music from your libraries to the iPod and any software updates will need to be done on the Windows machine. Your Powerbook can read a Windows formatted iPod, but you need to be using iTunes 8.0.2 on each machine. You will also have to manually eject the iPod when you are through adding music.

  • Should I wait to buy the iPod Touch 6g or get the 5g now?

    My 4g lock and home buttons got stuck.

    The 6G wouldn't come out for a whole year and they may not even continue the touch line.  That would be too long and too much uncertainty for me to wait.  Maybe it is time for an iPhone?

    Should I wait to buy a a new Macbook until the Mountain Lion Software comes out?

    I wouldn't wait - you are eligible to get Mountain Lion download free if you buy a new MacBook now, and it'll tkae Apple a few days (longer if not purchased directly from the Apple Store) to update the image. You aren't missing anything placing the order now.

  • Hi! If I buy an ipod touch 5g from the US and I travel to another country, for example Philippines, will it function in that country without having to modify anything from the device?

    Yes, you can setup the iPod and redownload past iTunes purchases. You need a wifi connectin to the interent.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         

  • I buy a ipod touch a week a go and always is hot, that is normal?

    i buy a ipod touch a week a go and always is hot, that is normal?

    When gaming and other heavy use it is normal for the iPod to get quite warm. If you have a concern (since it is hard to determine how worm is too hot via this forum), make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Your balance should show to the left of account id at the top of the iTunes store page on your computer's iTunes. You can also check it by clicking on that id, or doing Store > View My Account, which should show your account balance and let you view your payment info

    My ipod classic just froze on me and will not even reset.  All I'm getting on the display is a read circle with a red x in the middle.  HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to restore it and instead get the red X symbol, it's a very good indication of a damaged hard drive inside of your iPod. This means you'll need to take or send your iPod in for repair or replacement.

  • I'm thinking about buying iPod Video, should i wait for a new iPod or?

    I was thinking about getting myself a Video iPod, but then i would hate it if i was to get one let's say this month and next month a new iPod will come out, so should i buy a Video or is there a new iPod coming out anytime soon?
    Thanks.

    Masna is someone who comes here to help out others with iPod problems and is to be applauded for that, not ridiculed.
    Unlike some people who come here to ask silly questions.
    And Marat Voznyuk, you've been here long enough to know that posting questions asking about future Apple hardware releases is against the forum terms of use. : )

  • Should I wait to buy ZEN Micro Ph

    I am getting a part-time job soon and want to buy the ZEN Micro, but the ZEN Micro Photo is coming out in Summer 2005, and that looks good, so should I get the ZEN Micro or wait for the Colour screen version?
    P.S I had my Muvo TX 256MB for 3 weeks and is great, though I should have waited and got the 52MB version it is only 70GBP at eBuyer now.

    I was in the same situation as you, wanting a Zen Micro but wondered if I should wait till the Zen Micro Photo came out. I decided that I didn't need the colour screen to show people photos and just wanted a small portable music player so I went with a Black Zen Micro and I am very happy that I did

  • Should I wait to buy a Macbook?

    I have read so many great things about the Mac. I've read superb reviews from sites like Cnet and PCMag. Now that I looked into wireless networking with the Mac, I am thinking about waiting to buy one. I have read a few posts about crashes and kernels when running wireless on the Mac because of update 10.4.10. Has there been a patch for this problem? Also, I already have my wireless setup on my PC. I have a Linksys WRT54G router with a Motorola Surfboard SB5101. If I buy a Mac, would I have to reinstall the router software on it? Thanks for the help...

    Like most things in life, it depends...
    I bought a 1.83 GHz core2 duo Macbook in July 2007. For the most part, the Macbook is a very nicely designed and manufactured machine.
    High points: nice keyboard, magsafe power connector, long battery life when running OSX, ability to run Windows XP or Vista natively, iLife software suite.
    Low points: WiFi disconnects in OSX 10.4.10, lackluster LG/Philips LCD has a relatively narrow viewing angle and "only" 262,000 (18 bits) of color resolution. No PC-X or PCMCIA card slot.
    I guess I'm biased because I bought a Macbook. I tend to run Vista on it more than OSX due to the WiFi issues in OSX (WiFi is OK in Vista). More importantly, I can run the current release of MS-Office in Vista. The Macbook is nice in that I can run either OS without 3rd party software or goofy emulators. I love tinkering with Garage Band in OSX for recreation. If you are planning to run Vista, upgrade to 2G of memory. The Macbook is nice for doing presentations, but you'll need a VGA or DVI pigtail adapter, each of which is a $20 accessory. Apple should've put a standard VGA socket on the Macbook, as VGA cords are the de facto video port in most every conference room.
    The main reason you might want to delay purchase would be to have Leopard pre-installed or at least qualify for a low cost Leopard upgrade.

  • I'm running 10.6.8. Should I wait to buy Mountain Lion or buy 10.7 now? now?

    I bought my MacBook Pro with 10.6.8 but it appears I need to buy the upgrade to 10.7 in order to use iCloud.  Can I upgrade to 10.7 for free? If not should I just wait to buy Mountain Lion this summer?

    You cannot upgrade to Lion for free...the cost is low, though.  Only $30 (US).  That will get you more than just iCloud, there are other features as well.
    Apple has announced some of the features of Mountain Lion on the website, are those features imporant to you?  If you can live without iCloud until ML is released, date of which has not been announced, then the decision to buy now or wait is up to you.  If you can make good use of iCloud now, then why wait?

  • Should i wait with buying a macbook pro for the mac os x lion software?

    Hi there,
    I've been saving up some money to buy myself a MacBook Pro 13", but I've been told to wait for the new lion upgrade.
    It's not that I need the macbook right now, I mean, I can wait, but I don't want to wait for a system that's not refined yet.
    I'm afraid the system might have bugs or issues or things...
    So my question: should I wait till June/July with buying, or buy one now and have a good working system?
    And do any of you guys know whether there'll be some kind of a grace period where they give you the new upgrade for free?
    Thanks in advance!

    My take is to buy it when you need it. If that's now then buy it now. You can always upgrade to Lion when it comes out.

    The only thing in that list that will eventaully be resolved are the applications. There will be a new CD released that works in Vista. Decoding of Dolby Digital and DTS is no longer supported at the driver level by Vista. You will need to use software that has the capability to do so. DVD-Audio will not be supported. DirectSound was removed from Vista, DirectSound EAX games require ALchemy to function properly and only certain games are supported. 6. Speaker mode is not supported in Vista.
