Any help is appreciated

Author: seph1985, Location: London, UKPosted: Fri Oct 28, 2005 6:06 pm Post subject: ---- The fact thats its an mp3 player makes no real odds to me but i also use it for transfering files and i don't think that itunes works like that, so i'll take that as a "apple doesn't support this feature" deal then?
on a side not itunes doesn't see the mp3 player either.

it plays MP3's fine which is good but i used to use it for transfering files around the office aswell but seems the mac doesn't do that

Many only make them for PCs - very frustrating but not Apple's fault. If they do make a driver for Macs, download it and you should be fine.
