iPod touch (iTouch!) owners thread!


I got mine this morning at Menlo Park NJ. They had less than 10 and only a few left when I got mine. Freehold claims they still arent getting any till the 28th but I doubt that. I had to decide whether I wanted to be an EARLY early adopter or save $30 and wait for it to come to Costco, gadget lust won out, woohoo!

It is GORGEOUS. Pics tonight when I get home. It's also TINY and a fingerprint MAGNET. Glossy as hell with the trademark Apple lickability (tm).

Buuut....
So far I cant get my macbook to recognize it, probably because I havent auto updated it in a few weeks and I cant put it on the network here to update itunes. The windows side of it sees it as a big available hard disk (i dont have iTunes loaded on that half) but the OSX side wont even show it on the desktop, which is what I assume it should do when it finds a iPod (I sync my regular iPod on my Windows Desktop so this could be a bad assumption on my part). Will probably have to wait till I get home, and its a brick until it syncs with iTunes. If I open iTunes manually it doesnt show an iPod connected their either.

Downloading the latest iTunes .dmg file now, I hear that will fix it, fingers crossed.

Re: iPod touch (iTouch!) owners thread!


OK, that worked, it did tell me that a few of my Podcasts wouldnt be synced cause they wouldnt play on this ipod, any idea what that's all about? They are standard iTunes downloaded podcasts, mostly about photography and Photoshop...

I really want an iTouch but it'll have to wait as there's more pressing need elsewhere...but it will be mine

Re: iPod touch (iTouch!) owners thread!


Are those podcasts very high resolution? Do they play on other video iPods?

I'm jealous -- but I think I'm going to get a Nano. A blue one.

Yeah, I'm waiting till the 32 gig version before I get one. I got a Red nano today.
Has anyone tried hacking their iTouch yet to use some of the iPhone apps that aren't included with the touch?
