So - my girls old Ipod and my Nomad II were working just fine w/Media Center 10. Then I plug this nice new 40 gb one in (had to go to the apple store in NYC to get it) Thing looked good right out of box, charged MUCH faster then the old type and the interface was much cooler.
MC frooze up, the little icon w/the folder and ! showed up... no worries just updated the thing - whoops - wrong move - the updater was from the OLD ipod
Ok install NEW vile hated itunes just to get the newest updated and that all went fine. Was able to get operating system back up...
BUT - rather then leave well enough alone I try MC again. Big mistake, looks ok, I drag a playlist in, eject and look for palylist on ipod - no playlist - plug it back in and it seems like it's there now... play music from device, and then freeze up and poof! keeps trying to reboot aplle screen and then apple screen and so on - soon it will run out of juice. I want to toss it - taking back is 39.90 restocking fee - or let them replace it - BUT it is such a cool device - though it may never work w/anything but Itunes- in fact the instructions tell you (I have read them now) as much - no other program will work w/new software UNLESS you bring it to itunes... Seems like they are trying to lock up the world w/that crap.
