Updating a Windows Ipod on a Mac?

Hi Dianne, I don't think this is possible as the iPod is formatted for use with Windows. I may be wrong though but I wouldn't try it myself.

Dianne,

It depends on what you want to do exactly. If you simply want to transfer songs etc to the Windows formatted iPod on a Mac, then yes, you can do this because a Windows iPod can be read and written to on a Mac.

However, what do you mean by this?

"The ipod needs a system update."

Yes, if you keep it Windows formatted, then all the software updates would have to be done on a Windows machine.

I have an Ipod for windows. Can I play my ipod on a Mac? Would the Mac/Itunes ask me to update my ipod to Mac? If I do that, can I format my ipod to mac and later reverse to window without problems? I have to Dj for a friend's party and he has a mac laptop wired to the whole sound system. Of all the options, hooking up my window/ipod to his mac is the easiest solution ..is that possible?

"I have an Ipod for windows. Can I play my ipod on a Mac?"

Yes, because Windows formatted iPods can be read on a Mac. No need to reformat it, if it's just a one off, leave it as it is.
