Hey, wait a minute. Why is my credit card burning hot this morning?

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I tried to backup my iTunes last night and it said the file was too big for a CD and to put in a DVD. Well, I only have a CD-R drive... How the heck to I back up my stuff?
That's odd. What version is it?
I know iTunes 7 is supposed to ask for another CD. I don't know abut earlier versions.
You could use a standard CD burner program, like Nero or some such to span disks and just back up your library folder.
So, if I buy a used Tivo - I just get the machine and it will still work w/o the subscription to the tivo service, right?
I'll have to check the version when I get home. I think I am one update behind.
There's very little you can do with a Tivo without the subscription. I think you can still use the instant replay - i.e., pause things and jump back for missed dialogue - but you can't record anything. (Vauge memories from trying to do this a few years ago for some reason or other).
I thought you could use the manual record - by channel and time - only, but I haven't tried it.
tiggy, is this one of the new teeny tiny nanos? I was going to experiment with mine and see if I could see what was going on (I have an ancient iMac), but my iPod is a previous gen nano, not the latest.
Yes, you can do the manual record and the pause/FF stuff, but that is about it. No programmed record, even by time. Just you see something you like and you hit record.
Says the person who dumped her phone line and forgot that was how TIVO got it's programming information and couldn't figure out why her TIVO wasn't working for a while.
So, if I buy a used tivo - is it impossible to get the subscription?
Not at all - if the person had a lifetime, it might even transfer over. If not, you can sign it up under your name at the website.
