so my ipod mini has been acting up, yesterday i got the ups box and will be sending it to the apple repair centre tomorrow.
IF they send me a brand new one, i'll be selling it to my father and buying a 20Gb ipod instead.
the question is: my father uses a pc (haha sucker) so even though this is a mac formatted ipod, is there a way to reformat it into pc?
and can you then reformat it back to mac again? and then to pc? :biohazard

Yes. Just use the 'Restore' option I think and it will format it to the platform you are on.

Just don't forget: The "restore" will also erase all music stored on the iPod...

...just before you start wondering where the music has gone... :cool:
