Hey all,
Me again with yet another question:
I tried to format my 5G iPod on my PC at work so I could use it with both pcs and macs. Bad Idea. The process didn't work, I was told to restart windows, yet the iPod still said "Do Not Disconnect". After waiting a looong time, no change, so I had no choice but to unplug it. After restarting the iPod was erased, as if brand new, and it said that it was a windows iPod.
Here's the problem: whenever I connected it to the pc, nothing but the "Do Not Disconnect", but the pc does not recognize the iPod, and I cannot even eject it properly, the system will just hang.
Bigger Problem: screw dealing with the pc crap, I wanted to format it again to my mac at home, but now my mac won't even recognize it in the finder, iTunes, or the iPod software updater. My only glimmer of hope is that the system profiler does see the iPod in the USB port, but that's all I've got going.
Any advice? I've searched all over the forums and no one's been able to address somewhat similar problems so far, so anything useful would be great.
Thanks in advance.
