[QUOTE="mig.gentry, post: 50556, member: 5838"] Sorry to bore you all with more formatting issues but i can't find the exact answer to my question. I've deduced from this forum that to be able to use an ipod between windows and mac it needs to be windows formatted. My question is: can you format for windows on a Mac? I've just ordered an iPod and won't have access to a windows box for a while so want to setup my ipod on my iBook as soon as possible(impatient toy fiend can't resist playing with new shiney things). I'm worried that pluggin my iPod into my iBook will format it automatically then i'll have to re format it(erasing everything) when i get to a windows machine. Another quick thing, when formatted for windows will i lose the cool little iPod icon on my desktop i've seen on other Macs. If so is there some sort of widgety thing to get it, or something similar, back. Thanks [/QUOTE]
