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!
Her mom's iMac won't let her plug it in as it says it's registered on another computer (DW says she was careful not to register it).
It's not about the registration, I don't think, so much as the library it's sync'ed with. Of which there can be only one.
ETA - seconding what ita said, generally. They probably won't be able to keep the music. That said, a little red shuffle filled with holiday tunes for the season and then wiped in January for general use is not actually a bad gift.
Damn. That seems really weak to me. I understand not being able to move the music off the iPod and into iTunes, but it seems nuts that you can't view what's on the iPod via iTunes and transfer more songs onto it if you want to. I never would have thought they'd not let you do that.
Last I tried you could see what's on the iPod via iTunes, but everything is grey.
I think the assumption is that if you don't synch with the library, the iPod doesn't belong to the computer, so copying new music onto it isn't kosher.

On my (older) shuffle you can't do this. It will allow you transfer music that came from iTunes, actually. But for everything else your options are to stick with what you have or wipe it clean.
I haven't tried it with a shuffle, now that I think about it. I'm not sure where the precise line is with the differences.
Hell, I have no idea where my shuffle even is. Whoops.
senuti might help on the iMac.
Anyone need an iPod battery? I just got an email from www.iPodBatteryDepot.com with a discount code for 10% or 20% off.....
Would the battery come with a screen that works?
I'm bringing my sister a new Nano, and I'm tempted to unpack it for lighter carrying and the glayvin, and I can't work out how to open it. I feel shame.
It's probably worth it to pay an extra $50 for the Applecare package for a new (refurbushed) Nano, isn't it? Neither of my iPods has made it to the 2 year mark unscathed. Or fully functional.
