Computer Problems

Gmanc711 · 09-16-2005, 12:53 PM

So I bought an Ipod today. I was pumped to get home and start getting it going and of course I go to load it and my computer wont even recongnize my D drive. Its saying that a driver is either missing or is curropted. WTF mate? Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Which ipod did you get?

Thanks Matty. I got the Ipod mini, 4 gig, about 1,000 songs. Part of me wanted the huge one, but I really dont need it. I know you have an ipod, are you a fan?

i got my dad one (40gb) an its great... do you have windows xp? i know the ipod software is a beotch to get working on anything else... I just installed itunes and the driver off the cd and it worked fine.

I also got it working on win2000, but that took about a week to figure out cause its completely unsupported and not very nice about letting you try to make it work.

I've got the 40gb one and I can't imagine life without it!

CooleyAsCanBe · 09-17-2005, 12:51 AM

I love my 20GB, but it was full a week after I got it. (My brother has a TON of music...Thanks Bro.) Gmanc, you downloaded iTunes I presume? Just making sure, since you will need that to use your iPod.

If your computer is a laptop, you could always stop by your local apple store and ask them.

By the way, did you buy a mini or one of the new Nanos?

MTK · 09-18-2005, 12:37 PM

The new nanos looks really cool, but until they have one that can hold 40gb or more, I'll be sticking with mine.

MTK · 09-18-2005, 01:20 PM

By the way, if you're looking to listen to your ipod in your car, this is a must.

It's a little pricey, but believe me it's well worth it.

Just to update everyone I finally got it working. Of couse I messed somthing else up. I am having trouble putting of all things, freaking wallpaper up. Everytime I just to put a background up, it just goes to some blank color. Any suggestions?

Gmanc711 · 09-18-2005, 01:52 PM

Nevermind, fixed it. You know I always thought I was pretty good with computers....after the last few days i'm going have to reevaluate that..LOL.

I've been wanting to get an iPod for the longest time! Especially at work! I burned a dvd's worth of tunes to listen to at work, but it would be nice to have an iPod that I could listen to in the car as well!

That is cool! Honestly, I don't think I would need one with such a big storage compacity though....of course I say that now, LOL! If I purchase one, it would be definitely because I am sick of burning cds to use in my car -which don't even work half the time! It is something with my car cd player that causes the cds to distort their sound. It's frustrating........

I would also recommend buying an MP3 compatible CD player for your car. Just burn about 100 songs to a CD and play it that way.
