Depends on the iPOD error message. What does it say? Usually holding menu then select and/or play button simultaneously for 10 seconds should work if it's a "basic problem" as mentioed prev. by C-29. Also, let the power drain and plug back into ITurnes, it will try and reset itself. Do a search on the net as there are tons of help websites and help message boards will come up. I was able to fix it when folder message came up (I since forgot how), when Bad Smiley Face came up I knew that wasn't good. I checked out several message boards and worked and worked the problem to no avail. I go to one message board and I"m reading all the responses and I can't believe it. They tell you to hold the iPOD over 2/3 feet over a hard surface and drop the thing, wouldn't you know it - it freakin' worked but eventually it went. So I make an appointment (appointment only) in downtown SoHo with the Apple Genius bar. The Genius does his magic and comes back and goes sorry it's shot and your warranty expired 2 months ago. U wanna buy a new one? I go (shouting) "I'm NOT leaving here until you fix my ******* iPOD or replace it, this is ******* 3rd one, what the ****." Downtown SOHO store was SILENT. So I keep my rant going until somebody pulls me aside and goes, "just calm down we'll replace it for free." I walked into that store telling myself whatever it takes! Just like anything else they all go but I "love" my iPOD and would buy another one. I have the 60 gigs with 11,000 songs on it.
Professor M - just import as Mp3, you'll be an expert in month. I"ll be asking you questions.

Thank you Mark all very helpful.
Sorry Capt. Mike. If mine breaks I am throwing it in the trash and buying a transistor radio.

You may be asking but I doubt I will be answering. Thanks.

just make sure that everytime you decide to disconnect that you do it properly or it can corrupt your database....not one of the lessons learned that you would want to experience.

So I went to the apple store yesterday. I was there for a total of 5 minutes, they said I had a "defective hard drive" (I'm not sure if he meant me or the IPOD) and gave me a new one. I was pretty happy all in all.  |
