Want to use my ipod for Mac @ home and PC @ work....

I have a Mac at home and have my ipod set up for the Mac I guess. So I brought the ipod to work today to hook it up to itunes here on my PC, but itunes says only Windows formatted ipods can be used and that I have to do a restore on my ipod to use it.
I thought you could use the ipod on multiple computers? I thought it didn't matter if it was set for Mac or PC because you could still use it on both.
Any help? I want to connect my ipod at work so I can get the music on this computer. Thanks!!

Windows computers cannot read the file format the iPods are in when they are formatted for Mac use. However, Macs can read the Fat32 file format that the iPods go in when they are formatted for Windows.
To use the iPod with both computers, you'll have to first restore the iPod on your Windows computer (putting the iPod into Windows format).
The only downside is if there is an iPod software update, you won't be able to install that to the iPod from the Mac, just from Windows computers.

I Have office for mac home and business 2011, can you install on both users on one iMac?

That's often a permissions problem. Try launching Disk Utility and running the Repair Permissions. That may fix the problem. Also confirm that the Office 2011 folder is in the Applications folder at the root of the hard drive, not a folder within your wife's Home folder.
If that doesn't help. post back with further details; your version of Mac OS X, whether you installed Office via a user account with admin privileges or not, and what happens when you try and launch Office from your account including error messages if any.
Hope this helps.

I am 63 yrs. old and I just want to use my iPod for music. As soon as I turn my iPod on, it connects to the internet. How can I have control over when I do or do not connect to the internet? (I have wifi)

Help! I have an iPod Touch 5th generation with iOS 8.1 that I just purchased two days ago. I am of the early 70's generation and this is all new to me. I have wifi at home because i have a laptop. I want to use my iPod mainly for creating playlists and then playing it through my stereo. When I turn my iPod on, it automatically connects to the internet. How can I control when I connect to the internet? I am not a kid wanting to use all the "gadgets" please help me so I don't feel that I've totally wasted all of this money on this purchase! Thank you so much for your help!.

Hey Evawantsin, turning off Wi-Fi as suggested by Illaass will do the trick, but how are you connecting to your stereo? If it uses Wi-Fi, then you need to turn the Wi-Fi on for music sessions. If through Bluetooth your fine, or do you use a physical connection like a dock, USB to lighting cable or do you just plug in through the headphone port with a patch cable? Also, you can down load the iPod Touch Users Guide for iOS 8 for free from iTunes. It will answer most questions, or at least point you in a direction. Hope this helps. Good luck, Cheers.

HT4864 I use Outlook 2011 for Mac. My @me works but the @ mac does not.

I use Outlook 2011 for Mac on a 2011 MacBook Pro. My @me mail works but my @mac mail does not.

I'm not familiar with your Bose but perhaps the phone is muting the music so you can hear the call.

I just want to use the iphone for music, internet and video.

Hello, I recently won an iphone.
Scenario 1
what do I need to do if I do not want to activate the phone portion and sign up with At&T, but do want to use all of the non-phone applications the iphone has to offer?
Scenario 2
I am currently under contract with AT&T and have a work sponsored blackberry. Let's say I did want to use the phone capabilities of the iphone but do not want to activate it and pay out of my own pocket. What can I do? I have read so many SIM related posts but have yet to find the one, single, clear answer.
Please help:-)

If you are a current ATT customer, you wont pay an activation fee for the iPhone. But you will have to add the iPhone data plan to your bill. I don't know what your paying now, but this may, or maynot affect your overall bill. I do know, that you will loose your corperate discount though.

Is it possible to use an external hard drive to use the music collection at home and at work?

I recently started using iTunes both on my home notebook as on my desktop computer at work. I also discovered it is not possible to download the songs I bought on both machines. It's a pitty, but I can understand Apple's point of view.
I was thinking of bying a small portable USB powered hard drive to store my music collection on but I'd like to know whether this is possible before I buy myself a USB drive only to find out it's a waste of time and money. I assume it is possible the USB drive is assigned a different letter on each machine, but I think I can work around that. But is there anything else I need to keep into account?

Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

Microsoft office for mac home and student 2011

I bought Microsoft Office package in Italy and all programs are on Italian.I am not Italian i understand English or Russian,so can i change language of this programs ?? and how ? please help me
p.s i have macbook air 13 (i have already installed programes ))

I think MS Office only comes in one language at a time, so you have to acquire a separate version in the language you want.
Also you can search/ask in the forums dedicated to those products:

Office 2008 for Mac - Home and Student Edition - English Version

Hi, i just had a pretty straightforward question, is the version i have referred to above the Equivalent of the 2004 Student/Teacher version? They are similar release prices so i'm guessing they are but they have different names. Thanks.

Actually the opposite is true. Office 2004 runs in Rosetta and the new version is Universal. Rosetta is Apple way of allowing older software that was developed before they (Apple) switched processors from the PPC architecture to Intel. That was a fairly significant switch and it needed someway to work on Intel processors even though it was never intended to work on them. Enter Rosetta. It works fairly well and I'm using Microsoft Office 2004 on both my iMac and MacBook and don't ever experience any fans ramping up or excessive CPU usage. You might try reinstalling it.
However that's not to say it's perfect and the new version is Universal which means it can run on either PPC or Intel processors (without using Rosetta to help it do so) which will enhance you experience.

My Outlook tasks disappeared, how do I recover? I am using MS Office for Mac 2011 and software is update.

My Outlook tasks have disappeared. Have update all software. How can I recover or fix?

Go to the "View" option at the top of the page and then move down to "Go to" and see if Task is an option there. If it is, then select it to see whare it takes you. It may repopulate your task view, but only the trial will tell.

TS2774 I have an unlocked at&t iphone 4 and I want to use this phone on straight talk and all works but the data package. what can I do to get it to work?

I need to know if apple makes it possible to change the apn on an unlocked at&t iphone....

Because somebody has been apparently living in a cave for the past 48-72 hours.... LOL :-)
Straight Talk now offers the iPhone (NOT the same as the SIM program that they have offered). It operates on the Verizon network. It went on sale this morning. http://iphone.straighttalk.com
And you are NOT correct. I know this for a fact - I'm actually a Straight Talk "BYOP" user. You must install a configuration profile. Period. There's no way around it - iPhone defaults to the AT&T carrier bundle (based on the ICCID number of the SIM card, which identifies itself as an AT&T SIM), which includes settings that will not work and will lock out the menus that are necessary to make changes to allow data to work.
The only way to make modifications to the APN settings (that Straight Talk includes in their package) is a configuration profile. Doesn't matter if the phone is locked or unlocked.

Attach it to your computer, open iTunes, and deselect syncing contacts and calendars. Syncing your iPod again with the mac will delete the unneeded content from the iPod.
