How can I activate my iPod if my PC is running Linux?
I just bought an iPod, and when I turn it shows an image with the USB cable and iTunes. It wants me to plug it to a computer with iTunes? But I use Linux, what do I do?
Solution 1:
A few solutions, not all of them good:
- If possible, update to iOS 5 (probably at the Apple Store) and don't use iTunes.
- Find a friend with a Mac or a PC and get them to activate it.
- Go to the Apple Store (as Randolph said) and ask them.
- Run Windows in VirtualBox (or another VM solution), and use iTunes from there. (thanks, Fake Name)
- Get sixty million of your best friends to switch to Linux and all complain at Apple for a Linux port of iTunes.
- Run iTunes in Wine, if that's possible.
