Anapod Reinitializer

Anapod Reinitializer is a lightweight utility designed to help iPod users to initialize their device in order to be able transfer media files to and from your PC. The program provides you with the basic information about your device available space, file system and overall capacity

As its name clearly states, the main goal of the program is to initialize the storage device for iPod use. This operation is required for the iPod devices that were initialized on Mac computers and are not recognized by the Windows systems.

The initialization is a one click operation but can only performed after the storage device has been properly formatted. Since the formatting erases all the data from the memory, the content should be backed up to prevent data loss.

The memory should be formatted to a file system that is supported by the iPod and the operating system. The application is designed to guide you through this process by providing access to the Windows disk formatting tool but does not specify the required file system.

The main purpose of this tool is to clean your device and restore it to the blank state that allows you to copy the files that you want to listen to. It designed for the Anapod Explorer users who want to copy music on their devices without using the iTunes application.

Even though the Anapod Explorer does not provide support for the latest versions of the iPod player, the Anapod Reinitializer can be used for older iPods that need to be reinitialized.

One of the main advantages of the Anapod Reinitializer is the size of the application and the low resources required for its usage given the fact that it can only initialize the device and not update its firmware as the iTunes Restore function.

Overall, Anapod Reinitializer can be useful for formatting and initializing your iPod but if you need to initialize a recent generation of iPod or update its firmware, you should find another solution.
