Use Mac-formatted Apple iPod Nano on a Windows PC?

January 15, 2016 / Dave Taylor / iPod & MP3 Player Help / No Comments
fixing a mac formatted ipod windows 7 10 itunes

My son gave me his old Apple iPod Nano (the rectangular one with the wheel controller) and when I plug it into my Windows 7 system, it just complains that it’s a Mac format device and won’t let me do anything other than reformat it. How can I use it as an iPod??

Deleted iTunes library but still have tracks on iPod…

July 6, 2012 / Dave Taylor / iPod & MP3 Player Help / No Comments

Hi Dave, I have been following your newsletter for awhile now. Most of your topics are way over my head but very interesting. I mistakenly removed the iTunes folder from my Music Library. I still have my music intact, I can see all my tracks. Sadly, I have never backed up my iTunes so if I lose my tracks I’m out of quite a bit of money. I’m running Windows 7 Premium on my laptop and I have a portable hard drive. I have purchased a pack of DVD+RW discs to backup my music if that’s what I need to do. But urgently, need to recover the iTunes Folder that should be in Music Library because I can’t update iTunes software when notified. If you can help me or point me in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it.

How do I fix the time / date on my Apple iPod Touch?

June 22, 2012 / Dave Taylor / iPod & MP3 Player Help / 6 Comments

I pulled my iTouch [ed note: “iPod Touch”, actually] out of the drawer and when it was fully charged I realized that the time was off. In fact, not only was the time off, but it thought it was 1969. What the heck? How do I fix the date and time on my iTouch?

Can I remove songs from an unsync’d iPod Touch?

December 24, 2011 / Dave Taylor / iPod & MP3 Player Help / 1 Comment

My son has just come home from his uncle’s house with a new iPod. Very nice. Full of a wide variety of music, some of which I don’t want him to listen to. He says “ya can’t get rid of any songs without removing them all” but I don’t believe him. Is there some way to remove a half-dozen of the worst songs without redoing everything on the iPod Touch?

Get started with iTunes Match!

November 30, 2011 / Dave Taylor / Apple iPad Help, iPhone & iOS Help, iPod & MP3 Player Help, Mac & MacOS Help / 1 Comment

I have a huge library of music, Dave, and want to be able to enjoy it on all my Apple devices, but am tired of having to pay for the biggest possible storage on each so that I have space. I’ve read about iTunes Music Match [ed: actually, it’s called “iTunes Match”] and want to know if it’ll solve my storage problem while still giving me access to all my tunes?

Can I pre-order a music CD from the Apple iTunes Store?

November 24, 2011 / Dave Taylor / Amazon, eBay, and Online Shopping Help, iPod & MP3 Player Help / 2 Comments

I have a bunch of bands and musicians I follow faithfully and when I see that there’s a new CD coming out from one of them, I’d love to just have it show up on my iPod when it’s released without having to think about it again. Yeah, I could wait until my friends tell me about the new Nine Inch Nails or P. Diddy release, but I want to be first in the digital line. Is this doable with iTunes?

Getting started with Google Music

November 19, 2011 / Dave Taylor / Articles, Tutorials, and Reviews, Computer & Internet Basics, iPod & MP3 Player Help / 3 Comments

Google has jumped into the cloud music fray with an interesting, though rather crude, offering of its own called Google Music, and I decided that it’d be darn helpful to have all of my almost 9000 songs available to me anywhere I was online, through just about any Web device.
Here’s how I got started with Google Music…
