iPod - Mac / Windows User!

Has anyone try this procedure converting your Windows iPod into HFS+? or vise versa! Was it successful?

This is a quote from Apple.com @ http://www.apple.com/ipod/faq.html

"I have both a Mac and a PC. Will my iPod work on both?
No, iPod is specially configured for either Mac or PC. iPod for Mac comes in the HFS+ file format which is optimized for performance and usability in Mac OS X and 9. iPod for Windows comes in the FAT32 file format which is optimized for performance and usability in Windows ME, 2000, and XP.

If you purchased an iPod for Windows, you can easily reformat it to work on your Mac by downloading the iPod for Mac Software Updater on the Apple web site. Note that once it is reformatted, it will only work with Macs. You need Mac OS 9.2 or Mac OS X version 10.1 or later to reformat an iPod for Windows into an iPod for Mac.

If you purchased iPod for Mac and would like to reformat it to work with a PC, you can download the iPod PC updater from the Apple web site. Before you reformat your iPod, make sure to back-up the contents because they will be erased during the reformatting process. Please visit http://www.musicmatch.com/ipodforwin.htm to download MUSICMATCH Jukebox 7.1 for iPod from the MUSICMATCH web site in order to manage and transfer your music to iPod.

Reformatting your iPod for Mac to work with Windows is an unsupported operation.

Using the iPod for Mac on a PC, or using the iPod for Windows on a Mac, is not supported by Apple."

 

MacBandit, so if I get a PC iPod from my friend, I could sync it to musicmatch, as well as, syncing it to iTunes in my new mac?

BTW, MacBandit, Do you have the Mac or Windows version of the iPod?


Thank You.
