    Ciao, se si desidera collegare un iPod 1 ° gen per un 2013 Macbook Pro, allora si potrebbe sarà necessario utilizzare una Firewire 400 a USB per collegare. Tuttavia, potrebbe non funzionare come personalmente ho avuto problemi di connessione di 1 ° generazione iPhone 4 GB a iTunes. Potrebbe essere necessario un vecchio Mac con una versione precedente se non funziona nella versione più recente. (Ci scusiamo per la traduzione, sto usando Tradurre per rispondere alla domanda)

    I used Google Translate, which says

    Connection iPod first generation MacBook Pro retina 2013 - I am a happy owner of a first generation iPod 5GB and let me know how can link this iPod with my Mac book pro retina acquired in November 2013...

    You need a FireWire port to connect a 1st gen iPod to a computer.  Since your Mac does not have a FireWire port, you can get a Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter, and that should work

     

    http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD464LL/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r

     

    However, this adapter has a FireWire 800 connector, so you'll also need a cable with FireWire 800 at one end and FireWire 400 at the other end (where you connect the iPod.  Here's an example

     

    https://www.amazon.com/Clear-IEEE-1394-Firewire-Cable/dp/B00699GJW4

     

    Alternately, if you have the original FireWire (400) cable that came with iPod (and want to use it), you can get an adapter like this one

     

    https://www.amazon.com/elago-FireWire-Adapter-MacBook-Computers/dp/B003L4P872

     

    Connect this adapter to Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter, and then connect original FireWire cable.

     

    DO NOT USE a cable that is described as a "USB to FireWire."  Such products are fake and do not work, and may even cause damage to your iPod or Mac if used.  You cannot connect a FireWire device to a USB port.

    Ringrazio della gentile risposta, la tua indicazione è valida anche per il mio iPod, il quale è per sistema operativo Windows, grazie per la risposta e l'aiuto che vorrai darmi

    From Google Translate...

    I thank in the kind answer, your claim is valid also for my iPod, which is for Windows operating system...

    If you are saying that the iPod is currently set up for use with a Windows PC, it is formatted for Windows.  A Mac can actually use it even if formatted for Windows.

     

    If you do a "Restore" on it using iTunes (on your Mac), it is formatted for Mac.  This erases the iPod and sets it to default condition.  The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary settings screen in iTunes.  However, I just remembered something.  The last time I tried to do a Restore on an iPod that connects using FireWire, iTunes crashed.  I had to do the Restore using my older Mac, which has an older version of iTunes.

     

    This problem may be something specific to my Mac mini setup.  Or it may happen generally.  So you may want to keep using your iPod with Windows formatting, if it is working fine and does not require a Restore.  As I said, iTunes (on a Mac) can use a Windows-formatted iPod without problems.  When you first set it up to sync with your Mac's iTunes library, iTunes erases iPod's existing songs (if it has any) before loading songs from your iTunes library.
