Is there anything special I need to do to it before handing it over?

No. As soon as he has loaded the cd software and attached via usb or firewire the installer will make the iPod a windows iPod, simple as that. Just done the same, sold my Gen 3 t…

Thanks for the info.

What generation is the iPod? 1G and 2G weren't interchangeable like the 3G and 4G models.

It's a 3G 10GB

Then you're good to go

Hi all, I got the thing about 18 months ago i think, and it has been a dream up until now. At first i ran it off my iBook g4, then wiped it and put it on an xp pro box using fire…

Maybe something is slightly funky either with the software or the firewire on either end, stopping really large transfers. If so, try manually updating the iPod, transferring a fe…

Have you tried using software restore? Reset it back to the factory settings and try it again.

My 2G iPod has the same problems. My question to you is... is it really slow to transfer what songs it WILL transfer? My iPod and iTunes lock up after trying to move lots of files …

its weird because it was fine until i wiped the thing to convert it to mac. I am gonna try transferring a few songs at a time, maybe in blocks of 100. It is possible it is broken a…

As Turtle said, your original post is confusing. Sentences are our freind. Anyway, security on a computer-to-computer network is a dicey proposition. There are a lot of factors …

thanks for the tips so far and apologies for the first post, i have been trying to get this working for quite a few hours! just to make sure im not going crazy i installed the pci…

An easy to use, though probably not very effective, hex key is simple to make. Just enter zeros until it won't take any more. Zeros are hex digits, so they will work, but they pr…

finally! thanks for the help guys, but it turned out i needed to tick the "network authentication (shared mode)" box, ticked it and it connected straight away with security enabled…

Huzza! And a "Doh!" for my not mentioning authentication. It's something that trips everyone now and then. Basically, this is one of "those settings that have to be exactly the …

I just have a new ipod and successfully downloaded songs from my powerbook. But why does it not download the playlists I have on my powerbook as well? What am I doing wrong? Sorry,…

When your iPod is mounted, select it from the left-hand column in iTunes and hit the iPod button on the bottom right corner of the window. It'll have the option to mark checkboxes…

Thank you! Much appreciated.

I did a search but couldn't find anything like this. Here is my setup: 17" iMac G5 1.8GHz 768MB RAM OSX 10.3.7 Netgear MR814v2 with latest firmware iBook 300MHz with Airport Win…

It's possible that there are some minor settings in the router that need a bit of a nudge. IIRC, the 814 has been problematic for some people in some ways. Anyway, what kind of p…
