Will a windows iPod work on a Mac

Rod76 · 10-27-2002, 03:49 PM

This is probably a dumb question but, I have a bestbuy card and that's the only way I can afford an iPod.. The problem is that the only 20 GB modle's they have are windoze... Will it work on my Mac?

Thanks Chris....

Yes the Windoze/Winblows iPod will work with the Mac if you plug the iPod into a Mac and apply the Firmware update (X , 9 ) to it. This will make the iPod only work on Macs and erase your data on the iPod.

These will make an iPod work with Windoze/Winblows. (Apple doesn't support the Mac to Winblows iPod conversion but they support the Winblows to Mac iPod conversion.)
