Using ipod with windows millenium

Hi
I am having problems with installing ipod mini with my computer. Aparantly ipod requires min of windows 2000 or XP however my computer has windows millenium as operating system.
Having tried to upgrade to XP this resulted in my computer crashing and me having to use the computer recovery disc.
I am scared of trying to upgrade my computer. Is there any way that ipod mini can be used with windows millenium.
Hoping for Help
Shane

It can be done, Shane, but it's not easy.
iTunes won't work under ME, so you'll need a replacement. The iPod Updater, also required to prepare the iPod for Windows use, won't work either under ME. You'll need to install and run the iPod Updater on a computer with Windows XP to get your mini ready.

  • 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?

    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.

  • IPod with Windows

    First thing, I hate the fact that I bought an iPod instead of a Zune. I just realized it too late to get my money back. I really miss the user-friendly functions I'm used to with Windows.
    1. I have about 5700 tracks on iTunes, but I can't get it to do a mass update for the song titles and other information.
    2. It didn't import all the music from the Media Player so I've been doing it 1 CD at a time and still have about 1000 more tracks to go. I also can't even set up a queue to import. It's 1 CD and wait, 1 CD and wait...
    3. I want the ability to sort by album but it sorts by album artist.
    4. I can't get my iPod to use the 'Contacts' or 'Notes' options.
    5. I can't sort my songs once they're on my iPod. (I don't think I'm supposed to be able to, but that just seems stupid to me)
    6. I want to be able to use the 'Shuffle' function, but only in songs within 'My Top Rated'. It shuffles, but it's from the whole playlist.
    The only advise I've gotten so far was from an iPod service rep. They suggested I buy a Mac laptop. Like I'm going to buy a $1200 laptop to make my $350 iPod work. I hope that's not the only option available.

    I guess I am still confused by what you want for sort. So pretend I am a moron (because I am) and start from the beginning. You are talking about while within the main library area of iTunes? And if so, when you click on the heading of "Album", does it then sort your library by album name? If so, it that what we are talking about?
    As to your other questions...
    "1. I have about 5700 tracks on iTunes, but I can't get it to do a mass update for the song titles and other information."
    iTunes can only look up information for full albums at a time that haven't been changed (track order is correct, nothing added or deleted, etc.) since the Gracenotes look up database works off the table of contents of full albums as a fingerprint to identify which album it is then fills in the track information.
    Individual tracks do not have any sort of identifier that can be used to look up what those tracks are.
    "2. It didn't import all the music from the Media Player so I've been doing it 1 CD at a time and still have about 1000 more tracks to go. I also can't even set up a queue to import. It's 1 CD and wait, 1 CD and wait..."
    What's the question?
    "4. I can't get my iPod to use the 'Contacts' or 'Notes' options."
    In Notes, on the iPod, there should be a note telling you how to add notes to your iPod. Did you see that one yet?
    I think contacs can be synced from Outlook or you can export vcards from an application then drop those vcards into the contacts folder of the iPod (you need to enable disk mode on the iPod to get into the drive of the iPod).
    "5. I can't sort my songs once they're on my iPod. (I don't think I'm supposed to be able to, but that just seems stupid to me)"
    Ya I think they are always in a set sort. For "by songs" they are alphabetical. If you instead go into Artist, they are in album order. Same with by album I think.
    "6. I want to be able to use the 'Shuffle' function, but only in songs within 'My Top Rated'. It shuffles, but it's from the whole playlist."
    To shuffle in playlists, artists, albums, etc. you have to set the iPod to shuffle. Main menu -> Settings -> Shuffle -> Songs. Now when you play a playlist or something it will shuffle that playlist or something. Unfortunately, unlike iTunes where you can set the shuffle individually for playlists, on the iPod the setting is all or nothing. So to then play, for example, an album without shuffling, you have to reset that option to OFF.

  • Using ipod on windows after using it first on mac

    Alright, i really hope someone can help me. When i bought my ipod i first used it at the store with friends and got lots of songs and vids from the apple computers at the store. Little did I know that once you use apple first, you can't just go to windows. Does anyone know how i can start using windows without having to format my ipod????
    I've got both senuti and ipod copy but itunes wont recognize it unless its formatted first??...WHAT DO I DO?

    If you want to continue to use a Mac-formatted iPod with Windows, then you need to install third-party software on the Windows machine to allow it to read an HFS+ volume.
    MacDrive would do the trick.

  • 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?

    I am using Iphone with windows. I have draged photos from my computer into Iphone in the past, but cant seem to do it now. How do I move photos from my pc to my iphone without deleting photos that are on the phone.

    You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone.  This has never been a feature of iphone.
    You sync them as you would anything esle.
    You select photos from the photos tab.  Whatever is selected will be on your iphone.  Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

  • Using Photoshop6 with Windows 8.1

    I was forced to change my hard drive and since then have been unable to use/install Photoshop 6. An error message says the Serial Number is incorrect. It is not. I previously had this version working before I changed the hard drive. Adobe chat tells me that I cannot use it with Windows 8.1 but I know it did before. Can anyone help?

    My desktop IMac OSX 10.6.8 : IMovie '11: Trying to upload a home movie clip from my Panosonic camera model PV-DV203D. I've had this camera several years, and used it with Windows desktop. Now trying to work with my Mac. I have a USB cable, both ends fit, but iMovie '11 does not recognize it. Is there a driver fix for this?

    What kind of Mac to you have?  This camera is a tape based DV one that connects best with firewire and I cannot tell if your Mac has firewire.  If your mac *does* have firewire, get a camcorder firewire cable and try again.
    ETA:  Oops, I am pretty sure that all the "desktop iMacs" have firewire, so you should be good to go.  You will probably need a cord that goes from FW800 to your camcorder.

    Unable to view external webcam content.  I'm using IE11 with Windows 7 64 bit.  I've tried deactivating Activex control, tried different browsers etc, tweeked the tools for trusted sites etc, but am totally stuck. I know the cams are working as i can view them on mobile phone via puffin browser.  I can play Youtube videos etc just fine. So why not the webcam?

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.
