The iPod touch upgrade: Are they bugging you?

I downloaded some movies for my kids and touch the movie to play and it says it could not play, can someone help me out please!

Lets all flood albert[dot]apple[dot]com or the ip address 17[dot]149[dot]240[dot]65 and see what happens!

I found if that I ping a certain website that begins with albert and ends with dot com (oh, apple is in the middle) while connecting my iPod, it does not check into the iTunes store first. I wonder if everyone pings this site if it would be enough to bring down this ridiculous and illegal invasion of privacy and blatant marketing scheme.

I also have a 1.1.3 ipod and am skipping the paid update. Every time plug in the iPod I get harassed by iTuned to purchase the update. If I click the No Thanks button then it goes to the iTunes store and either says "Session Timeout" or that the iTunes store cannot be contacted now try again later. This has happened at least 10 times. Even if I go to the iTunes store tab, browse around for a while, and then click the No Thanks button suddenly I time out.

Had the same problem with itunes 7.5 for Win. Exported my Library and deleted the itunes Library file "iTunes Library.itl". After that reimported my library. No more annoying apps screen after that.

I bought it on day one so I am not hounded BUT, I am still waiting for someone, anyone to answer why the Touch does NOT have "album shuffle" and how we can get it. Without it, it is NOT the same as the classic iPod only better, it is just a different device.

You can still sync it by right clicking the device in the menu and pressing sync but in order to change my syncing options; I have to turn my wifi off.

I'm an early adopter of a 1.1.3 jailbroken iTouch, with all the goodies we all know.
Still, in my italian iTunes, everytime I click on "No, thanks" button, I'll get an error from the program; instead, when I click on the other two buttons, it always redirects me to the purchasing apps page. Surprise, surprise.

This harassment doesn't let me automatically syncronize my iPod on plugging in anymore. It sucks.

Furthermore, for all the people who quoted an US law: it simply doesn't apply outside the US, so they should offer this "apps package" for free, (at least) outside the US.

Apple: you won't manage to let me pay those damn 20 bucks for something I should get for free. No matter what.
