Pre-loaded Music?

I just got my iPod nano as a gift and when I took it out of the box, it already had 660 songs on it and 4 games.
Are they supposed to come pre-loaed with media?

The games come on the iPod Nano standard. You can not add new games to it (the ones for sale on iTunes are only for the Video iPod). The music may have been put on there by the person that gave it to you as a gift. You may want to check with them. Apple does not pre-load music on there. It may be possible that someone returned the iPod to a store and failed to delete the music first. Ask the gift giver if they put the music on there for you. If not, then you can restore the iPod to factory settings and it will remove all of it for you.

Pre-loading music on an iPod as a gift

I bought an iPod Nano for my fiancee. She's working in Japan for a few more months before moving out here, so I thought it'd be nice for her commute. She's a bit technology challenged so I wanted to load a good fifty dollars worth of music or video on the iPod before I gave it to her.
What would be the best way to do this?
I thought of just creating an iTunes account on my computer, buying the music and loading it on the iPod. She could authorize her laptop when she got it and change account information then. The problem I'm having is, since she has a Japanese address she most likely can't purchase from the US store, and since I have a US address I can't purchase from the Japan store. She'll want music in her own language, and the US iTunes store has pitiful Japanese song selection. I would buy her an iTunes card, but I can't buy a Japanese iTunes card without having a billing address in Japan.
Any ideas on how to either get her an iTunes card or pre-fill the iPod would be appreciated.

Sorry, I missed this part.
Dunno how you can get her a Japanese iTunes store account.
You cannot even gift her songs from your US iTunes account to a Japanese account.
Have any Japanese language CDs?

Nokia 5300 - Remove pre loaded music ?

Help!!! , Can't get rid of these preloaded tones. I can find the files on the phone and PC, but they are 'read only'. Does anybody know a step by step method of removing these. I have seen some other posts about this, but must be a step missing, as I still cant remove them. Thanks

I've posted about this before here:
/discussions/board/message?board.id=music&message.id=2833&query.id=276575#M2833
some of the text got a bit garbled, because a few parentheses etc got incorrectly recognized as smileys. But I suppose it still makes sense

How do you delete pre-loaded music on nokia 5300!

reallyy annoying.
iv tried everything 2 remove it & it just isnt working,
is there any-one who knows how?!

Took me ages to find this. The trick is to connect to your PC on "Data Storage Device Mode" - then you can see them and move or delete them. I found this on /discussions/board/message?board.id=phones&message.id=10066.
The answer is the final reply from jerry_lewis. I could not get his first solution to work on my phone -- I must have a different software version -- but the second solution works!

Removal of Pre-Loaded Songs on 5310 Xpress Music

All,
Could anyone help me in removing the pre-loaded music files that come with the Nokia 5310 Xpress Music phone (and no doubt countless other handsets too).
I don't particuly like them and I can't seem to exclude them from playing when the music player just going through my tunes (that is when it's actually playing and not giving me the white screen of death).
Apologies if this has been posted else where, I did try and find another thread using the search function to no avail.

I found that I could delete the music that came with phone, if I deleted it in the album folder instead of the actual song, so just scroll through your album titles until you come to one you don't recognise, and you will be able to delete it easily on your phone.

Can I set up an apple ID for my child that can only buy apps and music with pre-loaded funds

I want to set up a an apple ID for my son, but only allow him to buy things if there is funds pre-loaded in his account. Is this possible?

Sure. You can either set up an account using an iTunes gift card or gift certificate, or set up a monthly allowance. See:

How can I choose ringtones instead of pre-loaded sounds for alarms

I have a bunch of questions. First, how can I choose ringtones (my last phone had a category called "tones") and other purchased sounds instead of the pre-loaded sounds for my alarms, text message alerts, etc.? Thanks.

Apple no longer sells ringtones... Besides you never needed to buy them because they're easy to make! All you need is DRM free music (burned from cd, iTunes +). Read this link for instructions:

Pre-Loaded 5th Generation i-Pod

Hey Everyone -
First off I want to say that I just received my first ever i-Pod, which is a fifth generation unit that is black in color. It was purchased for me by a friend who pre-loaded it with a ton of music for me. I went to start loading music videos to my unit when I started bumping into a problem.
I share a computer with my wife, who has an older, non-color display i-Pod (our computer is an IBM NetVista running Windows 2000). She already has i-Tunes on our computer and in i-Tunes, she has an extensive library with her music files. When I go to plug in my new i-Pod, i-Tunes detects the unit and asks if I'd like to sync my unit with my wife's library that is already on our computer. I always select "no" as I do not want to lose the existing music files that were pre-loaded onto my i-Pod by my friend and have it replaced with my wife's. Once I select "no", it seems as though there is nothing else that can be done in i-Tunes that will allow it to detect my unit, create a library for me based on the music files that I already have on my unit and allow me to purchase my own music files to be added to my i-Pod. Is there any way around this? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated and Thanks in advace for your advice.

What you are trying to do is considered music piracy, and it's illegal.
You cannot keep the content that your friend put on it.
The Apple iPod was designed specifically to hinder this type of illegal file sharing.
If you want the tracks that your friend has, I suggest you purchase them legally for yourself.
Please don't steal music!

Pre-loading iTunes song previews: how?

I recall a few years ago iTunes had an option (via Preferences>Store tab) that allowed you to pre-load song previews rather than streaming them instantly, which was great for those unfortunate ones still on dial-up, etc. This option hasn't been in successive iterations of iTunes since.
I'm wondering if there is any way to regain this ability via Terminal command, Applescript or something. Can anyone help me out here? I just want a smoother iTunes Music Store experience when I've used up my monthly download quota and have my speed dropped down from ADSL2+ speed to 64kbps. A response would be most greatly appreciated.

A forumer on macrumors.com suggested I type in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes load-complete-preview-before-playing 1
I input the command in Terminal, opened iTunes, went into the music store, clicked on a random song and it did prebuffer the stream initially. Unfortunately after the first second it reverted back to its old behaviour ie. playing music for 5 seconds, rebuffering, play for another 5 seconds, rebuffer, etc.

Does ipod come pre-loaded with songs?

I just got a new ipod today, and see that if I go through the music menu, that there appears to be a bunch of songs there. Were these songs pre-loaded that we get? I did not put any music on my ipod yet, so it isn't anything I put it.
Some of the groups are: Canyon, Chuck Prophet....

"Everytime I synch my ipod, it loads the same 17 songs that are from the itunes homepage. It appears Apple puts in the playlist automatically for free?"
If that were the case it would happen to everyone wouldn't it and I've never heard of this before? It doesn't load anything else? Are these songs in your iTunes?
I just don't see how the iPod can load songs from your iTunes library if they are not stored there.
Restore it as previously suggested.

I just downloaded iTunes on my new PC and all the music that I have purchased through ITunes that was backed up on the cloud won't play. It is telling I must authorize this computer before it play pre purchased music. how do I authorize my computer.

Thank you for any assistance.

Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Can I install Snow Leopard on the latest Macbook Pros? (the ones pre-loaded with Lion)

The problem and solution is pretty simple, I just want to know if anyone has tried this before. I have a brand new Macbook Pro that I bought more or less for the sole purpose of having a more powerful machine to run AVID Media Composer on. AVID is only compatible up to OS version 10.6.7 at the moment, and the machine I got was pre-loaded with Lion, 10.7....So I look at the support documentation Apple provides, and notice that in the nifty little chart they have, the latest line of Macbook Pros out there (early 2011) originally had version 10.6.6, so I'm assuming that's the previous version I can't downgrade past.
To revert back to Snow Leopard, however, I need to install it from the DVD which has version 10.6.3 on it, and then upgrade to any version between Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Lion 10.7. In theory this could work, the only problem being that for a brief time between installing Snow Leopard and updating to the version of it that I need, the computer will have version 10.6.3 on it.
Now I'm pretty sure if the only thing I do on the computer is immediately update to a safe-to-use version, there will be no problems. However, if the machine's hardware is so terribly non-backwards compatible with the Snow Leopard OS, I may do all this backing up and reverting and not even be able to start the computer once I get the old install on it. Before I just go ahead and try this for myself, I was wondering if anyone else has, and more importantly, have you had any success?

Hi r,
EDIT: disregard my post. Waiting for that disc is a far better option.
I hope w won't mind if I add a thought here:

Now I don't mind if some drivers are messed up and resolution is all funky when I install 10.6.3 on it, I just need to know if it'll be functional to the point where I can run the 10.6.6 update dmg. Once I update to 10.6.6 everything should work fine.
Or could I install 10.6.3, have the 10.6.6 update burned to a disc, and boot straight from that? This is my first Mac so I'm not sure what little tricks work or not.
Your first idea may work; the only way to know for sure is to try it. If you do, make sure you download and run the Combo update for 10.6.7 or 10.6.8. There can be different versions of a point update, those which are available for download, and those which ship on Macs, so you want to install one beyond that which shipped with some of the new MBPs.
If the MBP won't boot to 10.6.3, something else to try is installing it to an external HD, then installing the 10.6.7 update on it, clone it to the MPB's internal HD, and run the 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Combo update on it.
