iPod mac/windows question

[Sendok]

Anybody know if I can use a iPod formatted for Windows, hook it up to my mac and take some songs from my iTunes (mac) onto the Windows formatted iPod?

Anybody know if I can use a iPod formatted for Windows, hook it up to my mac and take some songs from my iTunes (mac) onto the Windows formatted iPod?It's only FAT32. SCARY. Yeah it'll work.

I actually don't think you can. Doing the manually manage trick only works Mac to Mac or PC to PC. But hey, give it a shot.

[Eidorian]

Well it'll ask you to sychronize your iPod with your current Library and it'll wipe the songs currently on it.

garazwomp...I was afraid of this...*dosen't wanna burn out more CD's tonightSheesh, just copy the data files over on those CD's. DATA not making Audio CD's and RIPPING them again. Jesus that's annoying when people get that wrong.

Actually it will have to be reformatted for Mac. Only the Shuffle has universal formatting.

[Eidorian]

Actually it will have to be reformatted for Mac. Only the Shuffle has universal formatting.If it's Windows formatted (FAT32) it'll work on either Mac or Windows. You can't boot off of it unless it's FireWire and HFS+ though.

Umm... I don't know.. Either way, it is illegal. You bastard.

Don't steal music. ~iPod

Don't steal music. ~iPodYeah, make sure they're you're own songs.

But I still think it will reformat the iPod before it transfers... Let us pray I am wrong, lest God has abandoned us.

But I still think it will reformat the iPod before it transfers... Let us pray I am wrong, lest God has abandoned us.The latest firmware update chanaged that. You can pick a file system and restore via it now.

[Moses]

Ah, see, for most of the iPod cycle I was 100% correct. Wait, new firmware... Dammit.

[Eidorian]

It turns out i have it, just needed to plug Cookie II in to PowerCookie.Nice names. Still it doesn't compare to my Battleship Soja and Yagami. :-)

[Moses]

All of my Mac shit is named Cookie. Like CookieDrive and Cookie Jar.

[Eidorian]

All of my Mac shit is named Cookie. Like CookieDrive and Cookie Jar.I pick starships from anime.

[Moses]

It all started when I bought my first iPod. Ah!

[Eidorian]

It all started when I bought my first iPod. Ah!

- Battleship Soja (iMac G5)
- Yagami (iPod/Power Mac G3 B&W)
- Shunga (Power Mac 8500)

God I need more computers.

[Sendok]

My mac is named "Caitlyn" because I really like the name.

The windows machine is mine...it was just used as a jukebox/print station. Was hoping I didn't have to spend more time tonight getting my music on the iPod.

Just use a crossover cable.

[Eidorian]

Just use a crossover cable.That or FireWire internet sharing if you're using a router. If you're on a single IP instead of a 192.168.xxx.xxx or 10.0.0.x one you can't share your internet access. Networking time! :-)

[Sendok]

Just use a crossover cable.

egads! i think i still have mine! *hugs Moses!

[Eidorian]

egads! i think i still have mine! *hugs Moses!Fuck, I need one now. That and a 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire one. I have one for my iPod Mini.

[Moses]

Well, most PeeCees don't have firewire, hence the ethernet.

[Eidorian]

Well, most PeeCees don't have firewire, hence the ethernet.I've got Macs you know. And two routers. I have quite a few IP's to had out locally.

[Moses]

Ah hem, ARE you the one in question!

[Eidorian]

Ah hem, ARE you the one in question!Hey, everything needs FireWire.

[NoZ]

If ya dont wanna lose the songs download EphPod and you can rip them from the ipod without any hassle.

[Moses]

No, use Senuti. Far better application.

[Eidorian]

No, use Senuti. Far better application.It works just fine. I copied songs off of my iPod to my Quicksilver at work. It seemed to crash more often when transfering more than 50 songs at once. Then again it is Beta software.

[Sendok]

yummy crossover cable goodness.
