I just got a ipod nano for Christmas and aside from turning it on I haven't done anything with it because I heard you need a credit card to sign up for itunes which you need to use it. I don't have a CC (don't lead me money if you want to get it back) so I'm wondering what's the deal. I'm going to hook it up and see what's up but want to know if I'll have to wait four to six weeks to use the darn thing. Also can I watch videos on it, ie TV shows?
You certainly don't need a credit card to put songs on your Nano! First, you have CDs, right? Just rip them (WMP will do that) to a compatible format (MP3 is just fine, but there are others) and it's simple to transfer them to your Nano. If you have music on your computer now, you can transfer it to your Nano without a problem. Video is a little trickier. You have to convert the video from the common formats you probably have now (.avi, .wmv, .rm) into the MP4 format. There are tons of free converters out there. I'm sure someone here can recommend one.
If you want to download off Itunes you can also get an itunes cards at Apple stores. I live nearby an Apple Store and I go to NY a lot so thats where I get them but I find it easier just to use my CC. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebO...rdsCertificates They range from $15 to $100, yes you can also download tv shows and watch it if its an Video nano.
i'm going to look for an apple store but i live in Toronto and haven't heard of it, sounds like a rich mall kinda thing (not the ghetto malls i got around here). i'm a writer so i have no problem paying for music and shows (assuming it's a fair value) but i do have about 100 songs that i've downloaded on limewire and use on my other mp3 player that i'd like to get on there. thanks for your help guys and any other tips are appreciated.
Aren't their two part to the itunes software? One part for managing the songs and playlists on the ipod and the other part for purchasing songs from the itunes store.
the first Canadian apple store opened a few weeks ago in a rich mall in the north end of the extended city. i can get there easily by subway. i also want to get a cover for it so i'll make a trip of it.

Every department and convenience store I know has them.

You can use it to manage/play the music on your computer or your ipod, and then you can go to the itunes store within it and buy whatever you want (which is what I'm assuming the card is needed for). So unless music is being purchased, there is no need for a credit card at all.
Prison Break Seasons 1, 2 and half of 3. That's great. Then there's Fawlty Towers, Borat, Pursuit of Happyness, South Park, Family Guy that you could put on there. As for music, try some Michael Buble, no matter what your first impressions. Just get some random stuff, you have 80gb to fill
hot damn, this thing is cool. i just plugged it in, clicked 'i agree' and it's doing all the work. ripping an old cd on there right now. i'm most curious about being able to download tv shows and watch them on the bus.
