I think if you go through the education part of the apple website then the £8 off code doesnt work...

DazzaMc

it does. try all of them, i eventually found one that worked from these forums...

can anyone give me some advice please?

thanks

Just tried all the codes, the one that works for £8 off with or without student discount is SURLDLMQUA

I am still confused though, does the USB cable supplied with the apple store ipod's charge the ipod too?

Thanks

I have an ipod, (20Gb, 3G), and it came with a FIREWIRE ADAPTER.
When that is connected to the pc, it charges the i-pod.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you if the same applies with the USB, although I would THINK that it does.

Suggest you look here:

for the definitive andswer (or of course e-mail APPLE directly), furthermore, there is this product

http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/dock800/index.php

which, for $15 gives you a FIREWIRE cable, which is CONSIDERABLY faster in synchronising the files on iTunes with the iPod.

Hope that helps!

thanks for your help but does anyone know if the usb cable charges the ipod?

not sure whether to get 1st gen from john lewis for £118 or 2nd gen without firewire cable and ac adapter but with 10 hrs more battery life from apple store what d'ya reckon?

I know that with the new one, the usb charges the ipod and you can use the £8 off the £139 on the apple store, so I would get the new one just for the extra battery life.

I just rang John Lewis and mentioned that it says free delivery at the top of the ipod page and they dropped the delivery - so down to £125 and £10 off with voucher

I need to get an ipod on Monday at the latest. Best option??

Barclaycard ended their price match on 31st January! I bought my 40GB photo on the 4th feb so missed out too! Thankfully I only paid £300 duty free anyway...
