reformatting ipod from windows to mac
I recently dug up my old 3rd generation dock connector ipod, which is formatted to windows, and can't get it to format to my new macbook so that I can restore it to factory settings and start from scratch.
It will show up in itunes and on my desktop when connected with USB, however when I try to restore the ipod it tells me that I need to connect using firewire to do so... when I disconnect the USB and reconnect with firewire, the computer won't recognize that I've connected anything. The ipod's display says that its connected. Any ideas?
