Syncing iPod with Windows

I am wondering if I am able to connect my configured MAC ipod with the windows itunes?

If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. If the iPod is going to be used permanently on a PC or on both Windows and OS X then it would be best to restore and reformat the iPod in iTunes for Windows. Macs can read Windows drives so you can reload the songs from your Mac and use it on both platforms. Once it's restored for Windows any future software updates will have to be done on the PC to maintain the formatting. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews: XPlay 2iPod on Mac and Windows

  • Sync iPod with Windows Live Mail Calender

    I know that it is possible to sync a calender with Outlook however I was wondering whether it is possible to do it with Windows Live Mail as it simply does not give me the option.
    Thanks

    Hi Cnoc,
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Just to clarify, how did you synchronize your Windows Live Contacts with your BlackBerry?
    Windows Live is not a supported organizer to sync with using the Blackberry Desktop Software. This is why its not appearing as an option when you're setting up synchronization. http://bbry.lv/lZWDzG

  • Can not sync ipod with window 8

    In attempting to sync my iPod using Windows 8 I get stuck in a loop.  "Computer no longer authorized for purchased items".  And, "Computer already authorized".  Which takes me back to the first message.  How do I get out of this loop and sync my iPod?

  • Photo sync problem with Windows Vista?

    I did some searching and was wondering if there is a solution to the photo sync problem with Windows Vista. I have gone the route of changing some of my photos to bitmap files but this is was way too much work just to view on ipod. I like to email Apple but could not find a link to do so. As far as I know I have all updates but still the iPod does not sync photos. Is there an update to this that I am missing or am I stuck changing all my photos to .bmp files?
    Thanks,
    Dean.

    I checked out the article and not much help, thanks anyway.
    Would it make a difference if I purchased Adobe Photo Album or would I still be stuck with changing and saving files to .bmp extensions? I have Adobe Photoshop album starter but still have to change file extensions.
    If someone has a solution to this problem I would really be greatfull. I did contact Dell as this is a brand new computer and that was a wash. They did give me a number for Apple but of course I bought the iPod off of ebay and has no warranty on it so unless I pay a fee I'm not calling. It just blows my mind that Microsoft and Apple can't or won't come up with a fix. But I guess when Microsoft wants you to buy the Zune or Apple wants you to buy the overpriced Macintosh why would they waste time on having there products compatible with each other.
    Thanks.

  • HT1369 cannot csync my ipod with windows 8.

    cannot sync my ipod with windows 8, previously used it on windows 7

    Did you import the CD using the iTunes import feature? Using that feature gets them in a format compatible with the iPod.
    What is the format of the songs?
    Do they play in iTunes?
    Does other music sync to the iPod?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Using an iPod with Windows Me

    As far as I know, you can't use iTunes with Windows Me. I knew that when I bought my iPod, but I figured surely I'd be able to use it without iTunes--with a different program, maybe, like Winamp. Apparently not: my computer wouldn't recognize the iPod as anything but a removable drive, which was fine, except I couldn't play anything on it that way. Tried the installation software that came with the iPod and was told it wouldn't work on anything but a Windows 2000 or XP either.
    So then I thought, hey, I've got a semi-functioning Mac OS X at work; I'll just use that to put everything on my iPod, even if I can't use iTunes at home. Great, except it doesn't have the right version of iTunes, won't go online to upgrade, and demands a password to install from the CD. Again using it as an external hard drive, I stick something on it anyway and try to bring it home, whereupon my Windows Me tells me that the iPod needs to be formatted.
    This is all making me crazy, because I paid good money for that iPod and I'd really love to, you know, use it. Is there any possible way I can use this iPod with Windows Me, with or without iTunes? Some kind of plug-in I can download, maybe?

    groans
    I finally figured I had nothing to lose--I'd just downloaded a new version of Real Player, which supposedly will work with iPods and Windows Me--and I let my computer format the iPod, hoping that would let it work with Windows again. Apparently not. Now it won't turn on--it's giving me the folder-and-exclamation-point icon. Resetting it didn't help, and I can't restore it because I can't install the software to my computer in the first place.
    I suppose the only thing to do is borrow a friend's computer or something.

    Hi gemret, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    To be able to sync your information across your Apple devices and your Windows computer, you will need the iCloud for Windows 4.0 control panel. Please use the following Apple link for information and download link for the control panel.

  • Sync iCloud with windows contacts

    I am upgrading from MobileMe to iCloud in windows 7, w/ MobileMe I sync with my Windows contacts not with Outlook contacts (I can't stand bloated outlook app).  I don't see this option in iCloud - does this mean Apple is not supporting syncing iCloud with Windows Contacts?  If so I am very disappointed in Apple.
    thanks,

    You're correct, Outlook is the only supported client for Windows, and I agree with your assesment of Outlook. There is an usupported alternative in eMClient, which does look a lot like Outlook but is simpler and snappier.
    Setup is manual, mail is easy as are contacts and calendars, if you want to try it post back and I'll look for the server address information.

  • IPhone 3GS SYnc problems with Windows 7 64 Bit

    I am having sync problems with windows 7 64 Bit.
    The iPhone syncs a few tracks then hangs, a few minutes later itunes tells me the iphone has timed out.
    Anyone have any ideas about this. I have tried different USB ports, cleaned the apple USB cable contacts with Servisol, restored the iPhone and reinstalled itunes.
    iPhone and iTunes are latest versions.

    "Try this connect the iPhone, let the mtp driver installation fail, then go into the device manager and uninstall the unknown mtp device. If you then scan for new hardware from the device manager it should recognize the iPhone & update the driver."
    Ok here's what I did:
    1) Connect the iPhone (iTunes had been installed)
    2) No MTP driver installation is happening as Windows detects iPhone successfully
    3) Open Device Manager
    4) There seems to be 2 drivers for iPhone that are active now, although I still can't see which one is the MPT driver you're referring to.
    One of them sits under Portable Devices: "Apple iPhone". If I view the details of this driver, it lists the following files:
    - C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\UMDF\WpdMtpDr.dll
    - C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\winusb.sys
    - C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\WUDFRd.sys
    - C:\Windows\system32\WpdMtp.dll
    - C:\Windows\system32\WpdMtpUS.dll
    The other one sits under Universal Serial Bus controllers: "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". And as indicated by Joe above, it lists the following files when I view the Details:
    - C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\usbaapl64.sys
    - C:\Windows\system32\usbaaplrc.dll

  • Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes

    Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod.  How can I get them back on ipod??  They are showing in music library on itunes still.

    If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
    Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
    And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
    No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database.

  • Ipod sync issues with Windows 7

    I just purchased a new computer with the Windows 7 operating softeware and now I cannot sync my Ipod Touch (3rd generation) but I do not experience this issue with my old computer with Windows Vista.  When I need to update my Ipod I have to connect it to my old computer.  Help.  I do not want to pay Apple for support when I see countless post about this issue.

    Are you set to manually manage on both computers? If not, an auto sync on one of them will erase the iPod and place that computer's library on it.
    No that wouldn't be it. The manual vs. Auto sync setting is stored on the iPod, not on iTunes. So if you take a manually managed iPod and plug it into an iTunes it has never connected to before, the new iTunes will still recognize the iPod as manually managed and not do anything bad to it (in theory).

  • Unable to sync 30GB Ipod with Windows Vista

    Hi! I just got a new laptop today - it has 64 bit Vista on it. I downloaded the 64 bit version of Itunes and was able to transfer my music to the computer into itunes. But it will not sync. The ipod is formatted with FAT 32 which is what I think maybe the problem but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any idea how to make this sync? Thanks!

    This seems to be a really common problem with Vista. I have been trying for weeks to get it to work; sometimes it syncs a little, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it appears in the Devices list, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it appears for a few seconds and then disappears. I find that, if I disable the Ipod Service and the ItunesHelper service and then restarts Itunes, I get a better, albeit still unreliable, connection but still rarely will it sync.
    Tried it with Windows Firewall on, off and all points in between in terms of opening the requisite ports. Tried it with iTunes 7.2 and still no better. Tried resetting the Apple TV numerous times at various stages of this marathon.
    What I have NOT tried yet is to completely remove iTunes 7.1.1 AND Quicktime and then reinstall everything and that will be tonight's exercise.
    I am currently connecting and syncing quite happily from my girlfriend's Toshiba laptop so there is definitely no problem with the Apple TV.
    I will post the results of my iTunes reinstallation attempt once I have it.
    Has anyone got a working Vista implementation that we can discuss?
