Window's formatted iPod Mini and an iMac G5

I've read somewhere once before that you can transfer your legally downloaded iTunes songs from your iPod to iTunes on another computer regardless of formatting. I can't seem to find this. I've hit the Sync button but get the message saying that everything in iTunes will erase whatever I have saved in my iPod. I have 235 songs on my iPod and don't want to lose them because the original computer that was used to download them was in Iraq (and probably since destroyed).
Is there anyway to take what's on my Window's Formatted iPod Mini and transfer it to my iMac?

  • Windows formatted iPod Mini

    Hey everyone,
    Basically, i came on here looking for info on how to change my windows formatted iPod Mini to Mac... and found how to do it! But I have one main concern, will a Mac formatted Mini still show up on a Windows machine? I know that my mini shows up on my mac at the moment formatted as windows, but still, will it work the other way round i wonder :S.

    An iPod formatted for Mac 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. However here are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance: XPlay 2

  • Mac Formatted iPod Mini, want to use on PC then back to Mac?

    I want to use my Mac formatted iPod Mini on a PC when I'm away for Christmas, but when I return home I want to use it on my Mac again. Is formatting the iPod to a PC required to do this? I don't want to lose all my music when I'm away because there will be no way to get it back till I return home. And, if I must format for a PC, what will happen when I plug it back into a Mac? Do I have to reformat again? Has anybody accomplished this successfully?

    An iPod formatted with Windows will work with Windows or Mac.
    An iPod formatted with Mac will not work on Windows. WIndopws cannot read Mac.
    If you format with Windows, you will not need to reformat with Mac.

  • Windows Vista User: iPod Mini found but driver not...

    Hi There,
    I have a 2 year old iPod mini and I have been using iTunes on Vista for a while now. Upon connecting the iPod to the laptop though I have hit a major problem - Window's finds the hardware but not the driver and so it won't work. I've tried everything which the 'support' section has suggested but it just won't work!!
    Please help!

  • Formatted ipod mini - PLEASE HELP

    I formatted my ipod mini and now the only thing I get on the screen is a picture of a "folder" with a "hazzard" sign and the url: www.apple.com/support/ipod. A lot of good that's done me.
    So now in essence it's acting like a removable HDD and nothing more.
    I don't need to update the ipod because the updater tells me i have the latest software (1.4) on the ipod and when i try to restore the ipod i get the message "Firmware update failure. Disk write error"
    I did manage to get the ipod up in itunes and uploaded a few songs onto the ipod but as soon as it was disconnected the picture of a "folder" with a "hazzard" sign and the url: www.apple.com/support/ipod came back up on screen and it still won't restore the ipod.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciacted.

  • I just got a new Ipod mini and it won't stop reformatting!

    I just got my Ipod mini, and put in the installation disc. I got to the screen where it says to connect your ipod (so i did) and to see if it needs reformatting. well, it did, so I am now waiting for it to stop reformatting so i can finished installing itunes and the rest. it has now been on the same screen for over an hour. is this normal? and if not, what should i do? should i "continue without connecting my ipod" as one checkbox asks?

    If you are stuck in the formatting/Restore process, click on the little 'x' in the top corner. It may take you to the next stage in the process. Sometimes it gets hung up.
    If this doesn’t work:
    - Shut down the computer
    - Disconnect the iPod
    - Restart the computer
    - Run the updater again
    - Connect the iPod when prompted.
    Post back with results, or a bit more detail on where you are in the process.

  • Ipod mini and ihome clock radio

    I've been searching this forum for info on problems using my iHome with my ipod mini, and others seem to be having the same problems, but are assuming it's a glitch with the mini, not the iHome.
    I used my mini with my iHome for a few days with no problems. Suddenly, when I docked my mini, it showed nothing but the apple icon, and was frozen. I checked the connection, tried using the mini by itself, still frozen. I followed the mini instructions for resetting, and got it working again. Docked it in the iHome, played 5 seconds of a song, and it froze up again. Reset again, and mini is working fine, but this happens every time I try it in the iHome. Computer recognizes mini just fine, iTunes working ok, battery fine.
    Anyone else found a problem with the iHome? I think I've explored all the obvious causes, but let me know if I'm missing something. I'm going to return the iHome and try again with another one, but I'm afraid I might damage my mini! Any suggestions are much appreciated.

  • Sudden issue with ipod mini and itunes

    Hi
    Up until yesterday I have never had a problem with my iPod then I connected to iTunes (again never had any issue with this) and iTunes said that the iPod was in recovery state. After some messing about which didn't lead to the issue resolving itself I hit restore. The restore seemed to be fine and iTunes then recognised the iPod.
    However everytime I now connect my iPod at the top of iTunes it says 'Updating iPod' for a few seconds and then switches to 'OK to disconnect'. I can't copy anything onto it using iTunes so am stuck with an empty iPod now.
    Any ideas on how to resolve?
    Thanks,

    I'm not certain I understand the problem: have you re-installed iTunes 6 and now are unable to purchase iTunes Store music?
    I have an iPod Mini and have used it flawlessly with iTunes 7 on both a G5 iMac and a G4 Cube under 10.4.7, so "incompatibility" is not the issue here.
    iTunes 6.0.5 indeed does continue to allow iTunes Store music purchases...if your problem persists, get back to us here with more info!

  • Can I Use my Ipod Mini and Nano 2gen on same computer?

    I have an Ipod mini and have just purchased an Ipod Nano 2gen. Can I just install the Nano without changing anything that is on my computer for my Mini?
    Thanks for any help.

    You may need to update iTunes to work with the second generation nano; updating iTunes will not erase anything from your library, and it will continue to work with the iPod mini.

  • I have an ipod mini and now a ipod video, how do I get my itunes to work wi

    I just got my ipod video, and i have already a ipod mini and i want to keep it. How do I use the same itunes for both? Do i have to register both and how?

    use the CD you got with your new ipod and register it etc.
    then make sure you have itunes 6 with video, podcasts etc.
    (free download at apple.ca)
    your ipod mini will work on here too, it just wont be able to upload any of the videos/photos
    and your new ipod should work too (once you have the new software)
    you can share itunes with both of these and it'll work

  • IPod Mini and iTunes 7

    I have an iPod Mini and I recently downloaded iTunes 7.0.1. For some reason, my podcasts won't import to the podcasts folder on my iPod. Is there any way to work around this, or will I just have to listen to them under songs instead?
    Dean

    First, I have to say that video potcast won't be synced to a iPod without the video feature. Okay,... If that isn't the problem then plug in your iPod and open iTunes. Click the iPod icon on your source list. Click the "Podcast" tab on the top and check sync all podcasts. If that is already selected, then you should select "selected podcasts" and check everyone of them.

  • Ipod mini and ipod on same itunes?

    I've had an ipod for a while and used it with my iTunes succesfully. I just got an ipod mini and for some reason the iTunes won't recognize it even though my computer does. It is up to date on updates but it just won't get recognized while my iPod is still being recognized. What do i do?

    You may also want to try other usb ports, and also try resetting the iPod whilst it's connected.
