Otherwise the Ipod gets wiped and the host collection, however large or small of the PC gets put on your I pod.
Im not defending a stupid idea--however thats how it works folks.
We've gotta be talking 12 years ago now, I'm not sure it was so widely available then. As it happened the ipod broke about 4 times after repair and repair.
We're both now not big fans of apple. I've never bought anything Apple myself as I keep hearing bad things... Possibly overdone because they're the tech giant but it seems they do underthink things and get away with it Scot free sometimes.

Some of the things about the whole Apple microcosm I absolutely get. They make shiny things which are in many ways really easy to use. But... They're made so easy to use by way of restricting features. The big thing for me with their handhelds is... "Oh you want more storage? BUY A NEW ONE WITH MORE STORAGE!". Then there are some aspects of the user interface. Want to uninstall an app? Ah, just find the icon for it on whichever screen it's on (which might take a while) then long press it til the icons wobble then delete it. You can't uninstall apps from the app store. That particular feature had me scratching my head for a while.
Oh, then there's the whole registration thing. My parents gave my kids an iPad they didn't want anymore & it needed to be reset to defaults. I had to set up an Apple account. Ohhh boy. They don't want much data about users do they? Why does a portable device want my home address?! (for billing, I know but that's beside the point). For all the Android devices I've had all I did was enter my Google account details & away I went.
Nah. Apple can go to hell.

Yes there are some annoying registration issues--the reason they want your home address is I think to do with the MAPS feature which we LOVE HERE.
Punch in the post code of a potential gig and use the Directions facility and in seconds you have your route and distance and approx travel time--very useful for pricing gigs quickly---far better than messing around with Green Flag etc.
But theres loads of choice out there for you.
I think Google had that functionality years before Apple?

Further to the original post, it seems that Apple are agreeing that in " a small amount of cases " deletion of music has occurred, but nobody knows why, and they can't recreate the problem. Think I'll stick to Spotify and Media Monkey, thanks.
