637098 2008-02-03 19:59:00 You could have a look and see whether NZ PC World and other PC magazines includes iTunes on their DVDs. FoxyMX (5)
637099 2008-02-03 20:35:00 Or you could get a friend to download iTunes for you. Just put it on a thumb drive and there you go. Also, unless you texted this in to the forum then there's really no excuse for such bad writing. Full stops and commas in appropriate positions will ensure people can actually understand what you're saying. Otherwise it's just one giant frenetic jumble of letters. And it makes little to no sense. Thebananamonkey (7741)
637100 2008-02-04 02:31:00 Surely all the software you need would have come on the CD you got when you purchased your iPod?

If you haven't already done so, stick the CD in your Windows machine, install iTunes from there and you should be apples [oops, sorry, no pun intended]. If it tells you there is a later version to download, all you need to do is dismiss the invitation, and go ahead.

You may need to reset your iPod before trying to set it up for use with Windoze. Go to www.apple.com and either ask the question about how to reset your iPod, or download the manual for your model.

The only ways are Foxy's and Monkey's...

637102 2008-02-04 02:49:00 I'm pretty sure my 40 GB came with a CD with something on it.

But its probably outdated by the time you buy it anyway.

637103 2008-02-04 03:08:00 Strewth. TEOR is right - I just checked and I don't have a CD for my 2nd generation iPod Nano - it came in a cheap little box that wasn't big enough for a CD. I was remembering my earlier full size iPod that had a CD with it.

Sorry for my bad advice.

Sorry for my bad advice. Depends where you got the nano I suspect, we got 2 of them direct from Apple in WGTN (we won in a contest) , both had full size CD's that contain Itunes (out of date) and one called Ipod setup.

637105 2008-02-04 05:49:00 Probably coz when I got mine, it was 600-700 bucks lol.

At that price, I was hoping it came in a gold plated box, and probably why a CD came with it.
