iPod question

[MikeC]

My boss' son just called the office, said when he tries to play any tune, they all say the track has expired... any ideas what this means? He's not on any sort of subscription service, just uses normal itunes.

Where did he get the song from? Sounds like he might have downloaded a copy-protected song off the net or off a mate who bought it through itunes.

He received a dvd of a few albums he wanted, he just put them onto the ipod via itunes AFAIK?

 

[TheCake]

Pirated? ahem?

 

[MikeC]

Actually no, not pirated! To cut a long story short, my boss and his wife split up, he moved out, but put all his sons albums onto a dvd for him. But if your right regards a tune bought via itunes, why would that stop him listening to all the tracks?

 

[TheCake]

Well I think if buy through itunes and you want to send it to someone... you have to give them permission or something to use it through itunes. Theres only so many people you can lend it to and I think it is a time limited swap.

Thats the problem i suspect mate.

Si.

Hmmm someone suggested its to do with the new updated software on the ipods which was on the news recently... if this is the case, how is this resolved?
