Can't transfer limewire songs on windows to ipod
 

Help ! I recently purchased an ipod and I am having problems transferring songs from my pc to the ipod. I use mac & windows formats (seperate computers) . The mac transfers the songs perfectly..no probs. The windows pc does NOT transfer anything. I have tried everything...I am using windows xp on a desktop. Please...someone tell me how to do this so my 13yr old will stop stressing !


Stressed OUT DAD !

if you go to the open discussion forum select page 3 and read this iTUNES I think you may find the help or answer you are looking for.

I take it you only have the one iPod?

If you go into the iPod's settings and select 'About', is is formatted for Macintosh? If so, I think this is where your problem lies: a Macintosh-formatted iPod will not work with a Windows machine and vice-versa.

To get it to work with your XP desktop machine you will have to reformat it for Windows which will stop it working with your Mac.

It's best to only keep the iPod linked with one music library (the one on your Mac?) and use that library to store all the music you want to transfer to the iPod.
