4 hates itunes

when I went to download itunes, it forced me to put the serial number of the shuffle into the fucking thing.

what the fuck do you think you're doing when you're going through all that crap. Why does OneCare Live always tell me that itunes is trying to connect to the internet when its not even running?

"iTunes Bonjour Service" bullshit.

^^uh. sounds like you got infected with some kind of spyware. like i said i've been using itunes since it first came out and continue to use it with my ipod photo/ipod video and neither one of them have requiered a serial number.

I downloaded a copy at a friend's house just this afternoon and didn't have to enter a damn thing. No email address, no registration code, no serial number, nothing. Never once have I had to in the last 5 years of using iTunes.


As for the Bonjour service ... it's pretty gay when it tries to snoop around and see who else is on when iTunes isn't even running.
But once iTunes is running and you want it to do the snooping, that implementation of zeroconf or whatever is damn near flawless. Connecting to other peoples' iTunes libraries and playing their music is completely smooth.

another reason i hate apple.

Quadcore Dual core G5 after i got done messign around with the configs in the apple store

$26,000 and some change with 2 30" screens

oh and 16gb of RAM

10/30/2005 10:22:01 PM

dude, use the store for education.

then that price is knocked down to a reasonable $21,000.

oh snap!

Difficult to really get "infected with spyware" when I'm installing it right off the fucking CD that came with the shuffle. When I get back, I'll do it again and screen shot it.

I remember having to do it because the fucking ser# is so goddamned small on the thing and I damn near invisible so I had to get my girlfriend to read the number for me since my eyes suck.

Not only that, but when I had to download some kind of software update for my gf's brother's regular ipod, I had to login with his apple account that was linked to HIS serial number on his ipod.

All of which == fogghatry.

that isn't itunes that is ipod updater which only makes sense to register it. besides, why are you installing off the CD? those are always outdated before they even ship.

Steve Jobs just called.

He has a wife to suck his dick.

It was the same version as what was on the website at the time. itunes 5 I believe.

If it's actually iTunes that you're installing from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ then that's the first time I've ever heard of that. Shit, what if you don't have an iPod? Does it still ask you for your serial number?

I've never seen or heard of any registration with iTunes.

i've been able to use iTunes without a serial number for quite some time now (through three updates). I could see if they require the serial number to upload to an ipod or to register the ipod but not to use the software (that's maugan's retard side getting out).
