getting itunes w/ dial-up? Daughter just bought an ipod--size upgrade from a 4GB Creative player. We have dial up--it would take about 7 hrs to download the beast of a 51 meg file that is itunes.Apple tells me it's not possible to ge a CD with itunes--they no longer do that. I was told, believe it or not, get a friend with broadband to download the installer and burn it onto a CD for her!! What the ???? kind of an answer is that? NO WONDER I HATE APPLE--They suggested we go to the nearest Apple store (45 min away) and 'see if they'll burn me a disk'.Did I mention that I hate Apple?

Just download it with your dialup, yeah it's 51MB and going to take a while, but I used to download hundreds of megabytes back when I had dialup. Here's a tip, let it run over night.

Bay, I have dial up also. If you have a decent connection, it should only take about 3-4 hours. Although I do agree that for the money paid for an ipod, you should get the necessary software with it. As the previous post suggested, I let it download while I was sleeping. Good Luck.

The usb is extremely limited playing only what is in the root directory and giving no more information than track and time. I set up a play list on my computer of all the songs I want played, e.g. for Christmas, copy to the thumb drive, stick it into this player and go to usb. It is better to use the ipod port to get all the info, etc.

You cannot add new games from the internet. (ie - adding a new app) - it does not work. No instructions on how to do it either. I have a mac, and the disc that comes with the player does not work with it. The paper instructions are not very useful, as they only show a few steps like how to turn on and plug into a computer. I was able to add songs, but had to make sure and convert the songs from my itunes first before I could upload.

the simple answer is yes, you can load them. you dont have to pay for what you already have on cd. and its very easy. also, i recommend using limewire to download music. i have more than a thousand songs on my ipod video and i've never paid for anything on itunes. you just download. and its legal. technically.

I don't know what that means, but I'll tell you something weird about it... we cannot load iTunes on it. Whoever had it before us made sure no one would ever be able to have iTunes. Literally on the phone for hours and hours with Dell and Apple trying to figure out. Finally gave up....

Since it's an iPod ya u would need iTunes, it will automatically ask u to download iTunes once u hook it up to ur computer. But u don't have to purchase music from iTunes, if u already have music on your computer u would need to import it to iTunes, it's pretty user friendly :)

I have 70Gb on a 160Gb iPod, and all the CDs to match. The problem I have is that iTunes is the only practical way for the touch, so unless they allow Winamp to be used with the touch I will have to stick with my old style iPod. I hope the 4.0 operating system allows 3rd party software to work, if it does then there's a 128Gb iPod touch in my future, if it doesn't then there isn't. The touch actually has two memory devices, so a 128Gb chip allows a 256Gb touch or a 128Gb iPhone. The 64Gb parts are currently going in to mass production, which allows 128Gb touch and 64Gb phones.

Actually yes you can. I bought two for my daughters and anywhere including itunes that they find music the download without a problem.I don't know the technical differences besides brand name. However, the sound quality is good, also has files that can be stored so you can add more music.

Help - anybody. I bought an 8gB i Pod so I could copy music to my hard drive using i Tunes and then copy to the i Pod, so that i could listen to my music, already bought and paid for.When i Tunes captures the CD, if it shows the title and all the names of the tracks I can successfully get it onto the i pod. But if it simply shows eg. 10 tracks with no artist or track names it will not copy to the hard drive.Question: are some CDs copyright protected in some way? If they are it seems a shame as all I want to do is play the music on a different medium

This was my favorite mp3 player, but the updates became obsolete, so I had to find a new one. Right now, I have the Sansa Clip+ 8 gb mp3 player and love it. It is not as glitzy as the ipods or even the E280, but it gets the job done -- that is if you only want to play music on it. Otherwise, you will have to find another player. I am not sure about the Macbook download issue, so I can't answer that part of the question. Sorry. Hope you find the answers you are seeking.

I run Audacity on my older MacBook with Snow Leopard & export the files into iTunes, so iOS 7 is probably irrelevant. I can sync any tunes I burned to my iPhone thru iTunes. The turntable connects via USB; you should make sure Audacity is compatible with Mavericks. Here's the thing with this or any turntable converter - you are copying analog audio to digital files in real time, which means if you have 300 hours of music on vinyl (like me) it will take 300 hours to copy them all. (If you're looking to convert cassette tapes you may be able to find solutions that can transfer at higher speeds.) Then you have to break up the files into individual songs, which Audacity doesn't do on its own, although there is a way to do it with the software (I'm learning this step now). It's very time consuming. There may be other programs that can recognize breaks between songs, but the fact is there's still noise between songs on your albums (needle chatter, old scratches, etc.). I'm happy with this turntable and the software; for about 100 bucks I'll be able to transfer a bunch of vinyl that I own plus a bunch more that a relative had to let go so I'm trying to give them their music back. But make no mistake, it's a bare-bones solution. If you want to press a button and have your vinyl broken into individual songs, cleaned up of analog noise and catalogued you'll have to spend a LOT more money - if the solution even exists.

I'm going to ask you one more question if you don't mind. If I just want the best player I can find to listen to music and don't care about lists, album art, interfaces or anything else. I just want to put my songs on the player and listen to them in the order they come up, which do you recommend? (Can you tell I'm an old lady and just love to listen to music? LOL!) All that matters to me is good sound, ease of putting songs on the player, number of songs I can add to the player and how long it will play music on one charge. Even the Cowan 160 GB player sounds interesting to me.

Same problem here. Recorded 3 songs, did an ISO upgrade, now nothing. Currently running Ipad 2 iOS 8.4.1. I do believe I have a 100$ paper weight. I'll stick this thing next to my other computer trash in hopes someone comes up with a clever fix someday.

I don't entirely understand the question, but I'll give you my scenario. I have an old computer that was built in 2002, it has a 40 Gb hard drive that is partitioned, and it runs USB 1.1. I also have a new Dell Vista machine where my main iTunes library is stored, that is at a different location so networking isn't an option. I wanted to back up my music, and I wanted to play it on the old machine, so I bought one of these drives for that. Now I don't have to use 16 (or so, I think the actual capacity is 15.something Gb) Gb of space on that tiny hard drive, I can use the USB drive for all my music. It opened up the space on the old hard drive so I don't have to duplicate the music files there. ITunes reads just fine from the flash drive over USB 1.1; it took some work to copy all the files into iTunes from the flash drive though and get it all set up. As long as the drive letter stays the same, iTunes can find the music any time that flash drive is plugged in and play directly from it. I hope this helps.

You are wrong about the larger ipods not being ale to play books from sources other than Apple. I get two or three books a month from audible and they work great on my 60g ipod. The bookmarks work and I have no trouble at all. I have 69 books (including Atlas Shrugged at 55 hrs and The Fountainhead) and every album my wife and I own and haven't hit 15 gig yet.
