Title: ipod help Post by: Indestructable on March 31, 2006, 11:16:20 AM Does anyone know about ipods that can give me any help? Sure we must have one or two experts out there.
I have bought a black 30gb ipod and have tried to set up today. When installing the software I get a reject message " ipod requires windows 2000 or windows xp" I am on windows millenium and can't seem to get around this. Are there any ways of resiolving? If the only answer apart from getting a new pc (which would be drastic) would be to getting XP is this very complicated to change my pc and any tips on doing this?

one alternative is to use http://www.mediafour.com/products/xplay/ this is like an itunes alternative which has a windows me version.

Edit, scratch that, you can't use itunes with millenium. You can drag and drop files into your ipod though but better off just using another bit of software. Title: Re: ipod help Post by: Indestructable on March 31, 2006, 01:51:34 PM Thanks, will check these out.
Title: Re: ipod help Post by: SKA Dealer on March 31, 2006, 02:48:27 PM Yeah iTunes requires Windows XP or 2000 to run. I also found out on the morning of my bday that fact. Fantastic job Apple. Sill though, iTunes is the most terrible piece of user-unfriendly software ever.
