  • It sounds like you're having two issues:
    1. You can no longer actually 'dualboot' into Windows OR Ubuntu (only Ubuntu). If this is correct, look into doing a boot-repair, because...
    2. There's no iTunes client that allows you to 'sync' your iOS device easily to Apple's iTunes functionality. Sure, there's ways to get your music on your PC, but I think you need to fix #1 realistically.

If you have your Windows 8 installation disk, insert this and reboot the computer, when asked what you want to do click repair and follow the instructions.

I hold my hands up now and say that I have never run Windows 8, so I don't necesarily know what I'm talking about!

On windows 7 I deleted my Boot manager by mistake, and was unable to load anything but Ubuntu however after reinstalling the Boot manager, I restarted and all now runs as it should.

You have to recover access to the windows partition, beware of synchronizing the iPod in any linux distro, mos of the times it works but if you do it once with linux (rythmbox, banshee, amarok, clementine, etc.) and the next one in iTunes and so on, you'll end up messing the iPod and may need to do a master reset on it (return to factory settings) and lose all your info from the iPod. My suggestion is to only synch it with iTunes, so you avoid further complications.
