Windowed iPod, but now cannot download mac songs on it

Hi, My sister downloaded some music for me when I got my iPod. She uploaded some music for me from the windows version of iTunes.
When I tried to download stuff from music files from my iMac itunes, it says, it cannot, because it has windows stuff on ipod. What do I do now? It says, I have to do a reboot and lose all my files!

hi
welcome to the discussions
I had a similar problem a while back and the advice i got that is a windows formatted pod cant accept songs from a mac, where a mac formatted pod can accept songs from both os x and windows.
so i'd format it to your mac, put your songs on, then put the songs on from your sisters pc and that should work fine.

  • I changed my Apple ID and password on my IPad but now cannot download apps because it wants my old ID and password which are no longer linked to ITunes.

    I Cash angled the Apple ID and password on my IPad but now cannot download any apps because it wants my old ID and password. It does not recognise the change of ID.

    Have you tapped on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app - when you do that you should get a popup with options for 'View Apple ID',' Sign Out', 'iForgot' and 'Cancel'. Tap on the 'Sign Out' option and log out and then log back in

  • HT1688 I have an iPhone 5 16 GB.. It keeps popping up "storage almost full." I have a lot of music, but I've had to get rid of all my apps and pictures. I now cannot download new songs either, becuase I do not have enough storage. Do I have to buy a 32gb?

    My iPhone 5 is a 16GB. The storage is almost full. Is there a way to add more storage, or do I have to buy a 32GB phone? I've had to delete my pictures and apps. I also cannot download any new music, update apps, or purchase new apps.

    Upgrading phones is between you and the carrier if you are wanting them to subsidize the phone. Otherwise you would have to purchase the phone at full price.
    Transferring purchases from the phone to iTunes is done with the device is connected to the computer, and in iTunes selecting transfer purchases. Yes, that will yield more storage on the phone when doing that.

  • Yesterday I could not download my podcasts, then I happened to download to version 5.1 and then podcasts downloaded, BUT my music had no sound ! Today, I RESET my IPOD and got music with sound, but now cannot download my podcasts anymore. What is going on

    Yesterday I could not download my podcasts (they were just hanging in the download page). Then after trying many things, I updated to version 5.1 and then could get my podcast downloads.  BUT then I could not get any SOUND to my music only.  So I RESET my IPOD touch this morning and the music sound worked , but then could NOT get my podcast to download again !  What happened?

    I figured out it was a SPECIFIC PODCAST that would not download. My other podcasts did download.  Missymae

  • I pre-ordered an album and it says its purchased but I cannot download it

    I pre-ordered an album last november, and now it's finally avalible. On my Ipod, it says purchased, but there is no option for me to download the album. I also tried on my PC, and it still says purchased, but I cannot download the songs! Please help

    Hello atthetop
    Typically with pre-orders you should have received an email to download your tracks. If you have not received it, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

  • HT1933 I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found.  I have used the gift card previously with no issue.  How do I fix

    I bought six songs using my itunes gift card in February but I cannot play the songs or downlaod them to my ipod because I get an error saying the original file could not be found.  I have used the gift card previously with no issue.  How do I fix it?

    Have you moved or deleted those tracks on your computer (the gift card has got nothing to do with it) ?
    You might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (re-downloading isn't possible in all countries) - if those songs appear there then delete the entries from your iTunes library (where you are clicking on them to play them and gettinf the 'original file' error), and they should then get a cloud symbol against them for re-downloading.
    If they don't appear in that link then have you got them on, for example, an external drive ?

  • I used to be able to download temple run onto my iPod 2nd generation. I then had to restore the iPod but now I can't re-download temple run onto it. It says you need a higher ios number. Is there anything I can do to get it back?

    I used to be able to download temple run onto my iPod 2nd generation. I then had to restore the iPod but now I can't re-download temple run onto it. It says you need a higher ios number. This is the same with many other apps as well and not just temple run. Is there anything I can do to get them back?

    So, you need an older version of the iOS app, because the current version no longer works on your iPod touch.
    If you do regular backups of your hard drive (as you should), such as by using Apple's built-in Time Machine (if you use a Mac), you may find the older version of the app in the backup archive, and restore it (replacing the newer version).  They are stored in the iTunes Media folder, in the Mobile Applications sub-folder.  You should then be able to sync the older version to your iPod touch.
    I can't think of any other way to get it back...
    NOTE:  An 2nd gen iPod touch can run up to iOS 4.2.1.  If your iPod touch is running something earlier, and that is why the app no longer works, you can also consider updating the iPod's iOS.
    I use an even older iPhone (original).  I avoid this potential problem by aways updating its apps on the iPhone, not in iTunes on the computer.  When I do it on the iPhone, it will not download a newer version of an app that won't run on my old iPhone.

  • I made a mistake. Purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 13 but selected wrong OS. Now I got the Windows-version, but I have a Mac. How do I transfer my license to the Mac version?

    I made a mistake. Purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 13 but selected wrong OS. Now I got the Windows-version, but I have a Mac. How do I transfer my license to the Mac version?

    here's how to swap: Order product | Platform, language swap
    but i think your license is dual platform.  download the mac version and see if your serial number will activate.  if not, at least, you'll have the 30 day trial to use while waiting for your platform swap.

    i have ipod classic contens i tunes 4. earlier i was using with windows xp but now i would like to install it in windows 7. how can i?

    Thanks to all for reviewing my question.  I am trying to avoid a possible disaster here, having to load about 90 cd's all over again.  If anyone knows, could you tell me what will happen if I download iTunes 9.0, and install it.  Will it copy all of my music into it, or fail to recognize it, or recognize 8.0 and just upgrade rather than replace it?  Thanks again.  Tom

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • I downloaded newest version of Numbers as prompted, but now cannot open old work

    I downloaded newest version of Numbers, as prompted, but now cannot open old work.
    When I try to, the message is that I need to download new version.
    Because I help run a small business, I have found a work around, for now, with old template, so we can still keep billing (very important)
    but I just realized that when printing a saved pdf format copy of an invoice, completed after the
    update, the color logo is not printing even though it appears to be there.
    I guess this is two problems.
    I have a Mac OSX version 10.9.4 and downloaded, I thought, Numbers 3.2.2 (but did not pay for app)
    thanks,

    Margarita,
    You should still have the previous version of Numbers and may continue to use it.
    The previous version is located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09"
    You can tell the difference between the two versions by noting  the icon:
         Numbers 2.3                    Number 3.2
         3 bars                              4 bars
    I keep both in my dock so that I know which one I am launching

  • Apple tv keeps telling me my credit card has expired but clearly i downloaded a song on my mac book on i tunes just after i got that message

    apple tv keeps telling me my credit card has expired but clearly i downloaded a song on my mac book on i tunes just after i got that message

    The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
    Now-  "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!

  • Ok so I updated to iOS 7 on my iPod (5th) it let me update my apps but I cannot download new apps thanks to the terms and conditions. Also my iTunes won't start it just blank, I tried everything I need help

       Did you download the new iTunes update that was also released this afternoon? That might be the problem. The new iTunes update came out today as well as the new iOS 7 update and if you haven't downloaded the new iTunes update it may be a compatibility problem so if you didn't, first update to the new iTunes and try again.

  • HT1452 I have a Toshiba Canvio 1TB external hard drive on my Mac. I've used it for 4-5 months with no problems, but now cannot add to it (I use it mostly for photo storage) to it. I can still access information previously added. Ideas?

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.
