Mac and Windows formatting for ipod

I just set -up my new ipod on my mac at home. Then today when I tried to plug it into my PC at work it told me I needed to restore it in order for it to work in windows??

Is there a way around this? Every other ipod I ever had I was able to use on both.

Re: Mac and Windows formatting for ipod

  • Did it ask you to restore, or say something about being synced to another computer?

    What are you trying to do with it on your work PC?

    What are you trying to do with it on your work PC? Listen to music and add some that's only on my work computer.

  • The reason the PC is asking you to format your iPod is that the Mac can read both Mac and PC formats but the PC can only read the PC format.  You would have to get a third party software for this, or buy speakers for your ipod.

  • Fixed it. Turns our PP was right sort of. I had to restore the ipod on the PC. Once that was done the Mac recognized it too.
