Overview
Anapod Reinitializer is a standalone utility that helps you to reformat and reinitialize iPods for use on Windows. We developed it as a useful tool for our Anapod Explorer users, but are making it freely available to the general public as well.
Reformat and Reinitialize Your iPod
To reformat and reinitialize your iPod, simply run Anapod Reinitializer, choose your iPod's drive letter, and it guides you through the process of restoring your iPod to a clean, blank state, ready for loading music. Please note, however, that Anapod Reinitializer does not perform firmware updates on your iPod. You still need to use the Apple iPod Updater to do this when Apple releases new firmware releases.
Using iPod on Windows 98 and ME
If you are running Windows 98 or ME, you know that none of Apple's iPod software runs on these versions of Windows. Using Anapod Reinitializer, you can reformat your iPod on Windows 98/ME, and then use our Anapod Explorer product to transfer and manage your music.
