Midst snowball fight I spotted two white headphones sticking out of the snow. At the end of them under the snow was a cold ipod. It has the words "I could not live without you" on the back. Happy to return it to its owner - just let me know what kind of ipod it is and some of the music on it.

I'm thinking that iPods are registered for use only with specific PCs, and the PCs are only allowed to work with specific iTunes accounts, which in turn require credit cards that require addresses...


It's probably a bit too much like hard work, but then again it might be fun playing detective and seeing if you can join the dots to find the owner?

Like you thinking Huguenot! I bet someone's day has been ruined by losing it, was too deep in the snow to be anyone nearby.


Not sure how i'd find out which PC it is registered to... don't want to connect it to mine in case it wipes all the music. My mate might put a sign up in her shop which is near the rye...

A few suggestions


Go to the Apple store next time you're in town and tell them that you've found an iPod. They should be able to look up the serial number if it's registered and might send an email to say that you've got it. The last bit is the bit I'm not sure whether they'd do.


You should be able to plug it into yours and it will warn you whether it's going to wipe the library. Comes up with a message about it being linked to a different library and do you want to switch it to yours. Just say no.

I think it should still mount the iPod though and let you navigate the songs on it. If it does, go to Music and look at the Kind column for any Protected AAC audio files. They're ones which were bought on iTunes. If you do a Get Info on that song (rightclick and choose Get Info), the summary tab should tell you the name of the person and the email address that they use on iTunes.


Last idea is to go to Extras and then Contacts and see if they use that functionality and call/text/email someone on the list?

    • Did you see my post above where iD suggested to someone else with your problems that it could be a sim or device issue? Why are you so sure it isn't your phone that has developed a fault? Phones can and do go wrong (reinstalling the app would not help if your phone itself is faulty). To test this out:  Have you tried your SIM card in somebody else's phone? If they don't have connection problems, then the fault is with your phone (though see below - your SIM card could be faulty, in which case this test wouldn't work). Have you tried somebody else's SIM card in your phone? If you still have the same connection problems, then the fault is with your phone. Both of those tests would tell you if the problem was with your phone rather than the network. Only if  the connection problems continued would the problem probably be with the iD network. Have you asked for another SIM card to try out (with the same phone number, obviously!) in case your SIM card has become faulty? Have you tried their live chat (link above) which they say can help with further troubleshooting? These things would be quite quick and easy to do, and could save you a lot of time and inconvenience changing providers!
    • In my case, internet doesn’t work even in London, incoming cals disconnect b4 u can even pick up calls!  Reinstalled ap & now even worse! Can however, access where I am regarding billing etc. Been with them 4 for years - been bad for over a year.. blamed my phone etc- lucky for me, can just change & leave, hopefully without any delay as only SIM pay as you go… Must be just unlucky….. would not recommend them now to anyone - if all else fails will just very very reluctantly ho to one of the big 4 & take a contract, which seems to have to be 4 two years or just might decide to not have a phone at all..            
    • Yes, my brother lived in that area and had to change to something other than Vodafone. He didn't just have a "weak" signal. He had no signal at all.
    • Apparently it is a very old and ill cat and about to be "euthanised"  - euphemism. My understanding is that it wasn't actually lost, just wandering around near its home as cats do, but people thought it was lost  because the poor thing looked so terrible. The owner was tracked down, but only after loads of posts from people trying to catch it and take it to various places for stray cats. I got my information from the "other" East Dulwich Forum, but I've got no reason to believe it isn't true. Irrelevant, but my partner and I once took a very thin and ill looking cat to Celia Hammond because it kept coming into my house for weeks and looked terrible,  and we (wrongly) assumed it had no home. That cat also turned out to have an owner. And yes it was ill, but being treated by a vet. It's lovely that people care about animals, but it's very easy to make mistakes like this. Having said which, many years ago when our  cat died, a couple of days later another cat started sitting  on our  doormat every day (three floors up in a Scottish tenement) and refused to leave, so eventually we took him in ......
