Not a question but a statement that I am most annoyed. Very annoyed. I bought a 6th generation iPod nano from one of the 'reputable' Apple resellers. And it does not and cannot work with my PC.
Now understand that iPod is formatted to either Macintosh or to Windows but not both. Ideally, this formatting is done when you plug the thing into your computer. However, it appears that the bloody thing I have was already formatted to Macintosh when I bought the iPod brand new and you guessed it, I have a Windows based PC.
Now to restore to factory settings in order re-format to Windows, it apparently has to be done through iTunes. However, that little number cannot recognise the blighter. Why? Cause the friggin thing is formatted to Macintosh and it's a Windows based PC. "An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the ipod, then try again." is the warning sign and anything that Apple states in relation to trouble shooting will not work!
Looks like I will need to make friends with someone who has an Apple computer.
Grrrrr.
