Sorry, but Windows is not compatible with the Mac file format.
You can use iTunes on the Windows computer to Restore the iPod and then it will work with Windows computers.

  • Re-fromatting Window's iPod for Mac

    I recently purchased a new iMac. My 80 gig iPod will sync on my new iMac but it does so as a Window's iPod and cannot be updated because it is not a Mac-formatted iPod. Is it possible to reformat the iPod for Mac? How do I do this? Please help.
    Thanks,
    Randy

  • Reformatting an iPod for Windows with a Mac

    I have a 4G iPod that I'd like to use as a portable HD. My school only has Windows machines, so it obviously needs to be Windows formatted. Unfortunately (heh) I only have access to Macs at home, and cannot use the school's PCs for this. Is there any way I can use my Mac to format my iPod for Windows?

    No.
    You either need to reformat the iPod for Windows (using a Windows computer) as you previously stated or use some 3rd party software (which is not free) like MacDrive or XPlay2 that allow Mac formatted iPods to be used on the Windows platform.
    Neither of these options would appear suitable given your circumstances.

  • My grandson loaded music to my Ipod nano with his Mac computer.  Now I'm trying to add music and I have a windows based computer.  Itunes is asking me to reformat my Ipod for windows.  Will that erase my music already added?

  • Connect Ipod to Mac and Windows

    I started to connect my Ipod to my Windows computer. Now I bought an Imac. I want to connect my Ipod to my mac without loose all the songs I have loaded to my Ipod from my Windows pc.
    Is that possible ?
    Thanks in advance for help.

    Strictly speaking using a Windows formatted iPod on a Mac isn't supported however many people use one without any issue. iTunes will allow you to use an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac but Apple currently only supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac. This means you will have to make sure that any time there is a software update available you do this on a PC. If you updated the software while the iPod was connected to the Mac you would end up erasing and formatting the iPod for Mac.
    If you only intend using the iPod on the Mac from now on, you could transfer your songs to the computer and then Restore the iPod on your Mac. Restoring will erase and reformat the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7
    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7 A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others as well, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • Simple Question : iPod for Mac Software Updater

    I cant seem to find the "iPod for Mac Software Updater" can someone provide a link?
    From the FAQ : "You can convert an iPod formatted for Windows into an iPod for Mac by using the iPod for Mac Software Updater on the Apple website. Note that once it is reformatted, it will only work with Macs. You need Mac OS 9.2 or Mac OS X 10.1 or later to reformat an iPod for Windows into an iPod for Mac."
    Thank you!

    One link as requested at the bottom of the page you just select your operating system and press the download button: iPod Updater

  • Formatting 3rd Gen ipod from Mac to Windows

    Hello.
    I need to format a 3rd Gen iPod from Mac to windows for my Father in Law.
    So please can anyone tell what the process is?
    Many thanks,

    The iPod is formatted for both PC and Mac, I used to use mine with a PC, bought a Mac, plugged it in and it worked with the Mac no problem. I'm not sure that this works both ways though, if you're having problems you could try this link for help: http://ipod.about.com/od/restoreandreformatipod/a/ipod_reformat.htmhttp://

  • How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format??

    How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format?? My Imac is not working at the moment, but I want to use my Ipod on my PC. How do I get my Ipod(mac formated) to get work on my PC??

    Use iTunes on the PC to restore the iPod, or install XPlay on the PC without changing the format. Restoring the iPod will erase everything on it.

  • How to install "turbotaxdeluxe2010"for mac or window on linux?

    I bought "turbotaxddeluxe2010" for Mac or Windows by mistake and would like to insstall it in"ubuntu"(linux}. Is it possible?
    turbotax2020 website said it could be done if it is downloaded online from mozilla fire fox

    Download MS Office for Mac 2011 from Microsoft, use it for 30 days, and if you like it purchase a product key. Alternately you can buy a disc with the activation code from Amazon, MacMall, or a number of other online retailers (generally for $30-50 less than what Microsoft charges).

    I have a Samsung Chromebook; which do I download -- for Mac or Windows?

    From what I have read, you can use neither of those option.  Google Chrome OS is a completely different animal and you would need to check on the chrome website for apps that are available for use with it.
