My ipod just died.

Post by Jackal »

I was listening to some Neil Young on my ipod when it suddenly stopped. I take out my headphones only to hear the ipod making a very loud and disturbing noise. Next thing I know the sad ipod icon is on the screen. Nothing I've done has worked so I guess I'm gonna have to send it in.

Take it to the Apple store first - my roommate did that, and they replaced his with a new one on the spot.

have you tried switching hold on and off, to afterwards press both the play and the ok (center) button at the same time for a rather long while?

I connected mine (an ipod video) to meh computer before installing it, it 'crashed' upon doing that - what I said above, as stated in the booklet, did what it supposed to do - make it work again.

1. I don't have a computer at my desk.

2. I don't have any way to hook up the iPod to any of the computers here

3. Even if I could hook it up, these fucking computers are so shit they don't even run WinXP therefore ITunes won't run on them.

4. See the shitty computer reason in #3 as to why the USB won't work properly even if I did have the cable.

Enough yet?

I've tried everything. The thing has completely crapped out. Sad ipod face = not good news.

You should get the AppleCare warranty on it before a year runs out - if you haven't already.
