iPod touch PC/Mac iPod Touch Question...

[derryquinn]

I bought an iPod Touch in America(im in ireland and it's cheaper there) and I'll be going to collect it soon when I'm on holidays in Floriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiida!

Anyway, my friend has only a Mac and chances are I'll want to listen to my touch while I'm there, I have a PC back in Ireland, so;

If i synch with his mac while in America, can I then go back home and use with my PC?

I'm guessing(read: hoping!!!) the answer is yes, but I'd like some confirmation

yes it will work back home ... but you may need to format it for windows as if you plug it into a mac computer it doesnt work with windows ... but plug it into a windows first and it works with mac ... i think. Although havent used windows in about 3 months at least ! so i may be wrong

I think the poster was asking specifically about the touch, since it seems to have different disk behaviour to other models.

I was wondering the same - would like to sync from my work PC and my Macbook.

Its a pain about the whole disk mode thing!

From what I understand, since it no longer uses disk mode, there are no issues with FAT32 and blah blah blah file settings. When I first connected my touch to my mac I was like, NOOO! But, I don't think it matters. Because when I looked at the summary info of my touch in iTunes, there was no mention of Windows or Mac formatted.

To cut down all that crap that I just wrote down, I don't think it matters with the touch.
