is there a way to downgrade (previous version) my new shuffles firmware so i don't always have to have the newest itunes installed?
the reason why i ask is because my work machine has itunes v7.01 and it won't read my new shuffle. it says i need at least itunes 7.4.
i don't have admin priveledge on this machine and it's fucking annoying...
anyone have any suggestions?
thanks in advance.

i meant just make sure you dont erase your files.
depending on how you do it, it may or may not erase them, so be careful to avoid that, unless it's no problem to you.
I really don't know...

thanks menos for the help. i'll give it a try and see. i'm not worried about losing the music files on it, but i am worried about making it unreconizable to any of my itunes libraries (on other machines)that would suck :)
thanks again.

shit is annoying how you have to have the latest itunes 10.4.7.4.33 1/2 installed! just let me fucking use the thing...meh.

what if you downgrade itunes itself?
theres a tut online that has the file and shows you how to...

that's not an option either unfortunately, because i don't have admin access...
ugh. technology :\
or more like: ugh. admin lockdown :\

that sucks! well, can't think of anything else...except the obvious which is to get the admin to sort that out for you.
