ok, i have bought a ipod, 20gb, but will be using it on a computer, that already has a ipod mini getting used on it.
i want to make 2 different libaries on it, as want different music to the other user...
i have made to acounts on the com, but not two ipod accounts.
when the ipod mini is plugged in, it reconises it straight away, and brings i tunes up, when i plug mine in nothing happens........... i dont know what to do..
im not sure mine has even been formatted yet, as it doesnt see my ipod when i plug it in, then if i put the disc in, when it says plug ipod in, then press format, well the bar goes up but never stops, and goes over again. you know the one where you are loading stuff....
-
can\'t help you with any of that techno crap..just wanted to say what up? we haven\'t heard from you in quite awhile...
-
You have 2 iPods...I\'m not responding out of spite.
-
no one is my bosses, and i have just bought one, but i cant even get the ipod to get formatted, his works fine, but mine, well this is the second one i have tried, sometimes when you attach the usb cable, and the ipod, it says mass storage device malfunction, and i spent like 2 hours in the help bit trying to work out what was up.
i have now tried the second, as i took the first one back, it occasionly gets up the mass usb storage....... etc..
ive tried it with the disc in, and it says please attach your ipod now, i do that, then it says it need to check if it needs formatting, i do that, the first time it had a sort of loading screen, but above the blue bar had waiting for ipod, i waited like 10 mins, the bar went up, when it got to 100% it just started over again, i tried this again, it did not have the waiting for ipod bit, but the same thing with the loading screen, as it got to 100% it went down to 0...and over and over again..
if not, any idea where i can go for help, i tried the apple help line, was on it for like 10 mins, no awnser!
other than that i am not to bad

Hey koppy ol buddy ol pal!
1) How to reset your ipod (http://www.werty.net/2004/06/reset-ipod.html)
2) Try updating your ipod\'s firmware here (http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/)
3) Put in the cd-rom that came with the ipod and try formatting again. Maybe using a different computer.
Steps 2 & 3 may be in opposite order, unsure if you can update an ipod that hasn\'t been formatted. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
-
OK, DONE STEP 1, THOUGTH IT BE BETTER TO TRY STEP 3 NEXT, THEN IF THIS DONT WORK, ILL DO STEP 2 THEN STEP 3.
AT THE MO, IT IS SAYING " YOUR IPOD IS BEING RESET. PLEASE WAIT" AND THE LITTLE BLUE SQUARES FOR LOADING ARE COMING UP, BUT THIS IS ALREADY REACHED THE TOP AND STARTED AGAIN THREE TIMES, MY IPOD DID HAVE DO NOT DICONNECT, BUT NOW SAYS CHARGING.
ALSO ABOVE THE BLUE BAR IT SAYS WAITING FOR IPOD, IS THIS NORMAL?
5 TIMES NOW........... HMMMMMM, ILL TRY FORMATTING IN ON ANOTHER COM..
ALSO I PUT THE DISC IN, PLUGGED THE IPOD IN WHEN IT ASKED, BUT I NOTICED IN MY START UP TRAY IT SAID, NEW HARDWARE FOUND, AND HAS BEEN INSTALLED READY FOR USE.....
WILL THAT DO ANYTHING??? ALSO MAYBE MY FIREWALL OR SOMETHING IS STOPPING IT?
-
hmmmm, this is been like it for like 10 mins now. think ill try the other com bit!!!! sorry about the caps too
-
ok, well i have had to format it on another computer, but i cant really use that com for i tunes....
so i have gone to the com i want to use for itunes, i put a cd in there, and imported it, then when i plugged in my ipod, it came up with, my ipod is on another com.... cant remeber exact wording, do i want to sae all files on this computer instead, i said yes....
then i unplugged my ipod, then re plugged it in, so the songs would transfer o n to it, but it did not work,
it came up unable to write, due to network connection....
what i do now?
-
will itunes slow down my com??? i mean, once i have saved say all 20gb of music, will itunes on the com be 20 gb??? therefore slowing the com down??? i need to keep as much space on the com i formatted the ipod to

WTF did you do koppy? Why the repetitive posts? On speed or something?
-
that\'s mean Evis.
he just kind of got frustrated with his ipods.
I know what its like since I been in similiar situation with my Windows XP crashing on me several times before and I try to get help and try to fix the problems...
-
Um...he made 40 posts in a row. Where\'s the part where I was mean? I\'m only referring to his quintuple posts, not his iPod problem.

ha, well im not to sure, what ive done, i spent all day on it, and have got it to work.... dont ask me how...
yea sorry about the posts, just kept doing more stuff, and thought id better write what i do, so maybe one of you guys can see what im doing right / wrong....
well come into work early, putting loads of cds on it now, and i work with cds and my boss said its cool for me to put on what ever i want..... so i only have a few thousand cds to pick from at work, yay me.
cheers for the help guys, esp thx
-
um, maybe I\'m just stupid, but why don\'t you just create another XP user account and log into it for your 2nd Ipod? Each user on XP should have his/her/retard own settings. I\'m so retarded.
-
i tried that and it diodnt work, it wouldnt let me format the ipod for some reason....
dont matter, cos it works now, just one other little problem...
-
