Just got an ipod for xmas and Im installing it now. Ive entered the disc and it told me that I didnt need to format the ipod, then it took me to a registration screen. A mate of mine believes that you can only use your ipod with the computer that it was registered from? Is this correct as I will mainly want to use it on the computer at home but also on some other machines from time to time.
Thanks for any help.
