Mike I can help here. I have a Windows Xp computer with iTunes on it. I purchased a 4G iPod. I formatted it to windows. To make it useable as a way to transport files as well as play music. After formatting to windows. I sync'ed the iPod to the Windows iTunes. The I right clicked on the iPod icon in the iTunes playlist and set it to manual sync. I then connected it to my powerbook and iTunes reconized the iPod and let me drag tunes off on to the iPod and placed them in the iPod correctly. Hope this help's On Tuesday, August 17, 2004, at 01:17 PM, Mike Robertson wrote: > Rex, I have aquestion that relates to this, my son has a new ipod, > and has a windows laptop(toshiba).
