Just received refurbed iPod
However, when plugged into the 24" C2D iMac for the 1st time, I have the following:
- installed the iPod + iTunes CD s/w
- already have iTunes, v. 7.0.2, w/ many good tunes awaiting to meet iPod
- a screen popped up, "About iPod Updater"
- another little screen appeared, showing the name, s/w version, serial number, capacity, used, free, and,,, format [Windows ]
- within this last mentioned screen, there are two options:
(a) 'update' - 'only Macintosh formatted iPods can be updated', selection unavailable
(b) 'restore' - 'click restore to restore your iPod to its factory settings'
The iPod itself is awaiting quite patiently, w/ the red slash no symbol flashing above the dire warning 'do NOT disconnect'.
So, do I want this to be windows or Mac formatted? Any difference? From what I've read, it should be happier being Mac formatted - right?
But - how in hades can I make this lovely black beauty be on the side of light and right, become Macintosh formatted?
