Ipod and pc trouble

<< < (2/2)

XClemX:
ok, now if i want to format the ipod in wondows, it will only allow me to do so into NTFS.

this i assume will be a hassle as ipods run on FAT32 file system? i am unsure.

dcr693:
Don't format it using Windows. If anything, run the Apple Ipod Updater from Apple and wipe it clean. It will format it properly to FAT32. Download it from apple.com/ipod or use your original disc that came with the iPod.

XClemX:
that doesnt recognise it either..otherwise yeah i would have done that.
thanks for that.

XClemX:
ok, i had to format the ipod into NTFS as it was the only way the pc would recognise the ipod.

then i was able to get the latest ipod updater and format it again thru that.

abit of work,but i am glad to say i have the ipod working, but only with apple fw atm, i will chuck rockbox on again tonitgh and need to be careful the next time i format the pc.

i have now loaded it all ontothe laptop which i never format so that will be the ipod > pc connection.

should be all god from here on out..
