registering iPod with Apple?

i have 2 ipods but i dont think either are registered, at least i dont remember registering unless its done automatically when you first hook your ipod to the computer. i checked Apple's site and i didnt see anything on there, can anyone tell me how to register because i really probably should do it :o

What is the point in registering your iPod?

Well, ostensibly to feed Apple's marketing engine... :)

However, an added bonus is that there have been a few occasions where lost iPods were returned to their owners due to good samaritans calling Apple and reporting them missing.

Although it's not a service that Apple officially offers, the fact that it's been able to help people before probably makes it worthwhile registering your iPod for that reason alone.

most definately, ive heard a few stories on here where thats happened and its better to have your serial number registered just in case you lose it and like you say, an honest person finds it. plus i thought you needed to be registered for the warranty, is that true?

well since i got the extended warrenty i had to register it to and ipod for it to work. and so without registering my ipod i couldn't register my warrenty and so it would be pointless. in the end i registered both.

I think he means if you get the "extended warranty", not the standard warranty that is one year that comes with every iPod.
