iPod Users HELP with iPod Software!!!!!!!!

Post by Skibumtress »

I'm trying to install my new iPod software. For Windows it says I need version 2000 and up. I have Windows Millenium. Tried to install it but it says I need SP4 (Service Pack 4). It won't allow me to install SP4.... says I don't have something or other. I have all of my Windows critical updates. Do I need any optional updates to upload SP4 (there are 44 optionals and would rather not upload all 44)??? Am I up sh*t's creek without a paddle??? Can I not use my iPod software with my Windows ME version. I got this computer in 2001 and I'm assuming that ME version is equivalent to Windows 2000.
Please someone help me.........

why don't you want to install the updates? If the updates are from the microsoft site you probably need them.

Done..... apparently I need to upgrade to Windows 2000. Didn't plan on this extra expense (dagnabit). :evil: I got this computer in 2001 with Windows ME.. you would think that..... oh nevermind.... I'm pissed.

Anyone have any other suggestions to save me from paying an arm and a leg for another version of Windows??? Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks Pedro.... just did and thanks VT for the link.... gonna check it out now. Can't tell what version of iTunes it is cause it doesn't say on the CD. I'm sure it says it on the software but I can't upload it. :roll:

Never argue with idiots. They will bring you down to their level, then overwhelm you with their experience.

ouch! Worst POS MS ever made. Dump it fast!

What are the specs on your PC? If it's fast enough maybe we could put XP on it.

Windows ME bites. It's just a glorified Windows 95. You cannot have a logical drive that exceeds 2GB. You need a Windows XP disk?

Windows 95 wasn't too bad. It's more like a glorified Windows 98, which was the worst.
Admins, I respectfully request that you do not delete this post or me, thank you.

I would like to make clear something here: bumtress is not having a problem with her iPod software, as her thread title suggests. The problem is WINDOWS.

Seriously, all this talk... 98 this, not wait do 95, not me but 2000, get XP... :lol:
