my iPod
let me preface this by saying that i love my iPod.
let me then say that i am ready to throw it across the room. i bought it in october of 2004. it died last august, and they replaced it. now it will not keep a charge.
i have followed the 5 Rs recommended by the apple support website. after a restore, which completely wipes it clean of all of my music. then i charged it fully. then i tried to load the 17 gigs of music back onto it. it died about a thousand tracks to the end of the 1900, thus nullifying all the work it had been doing and not completing the update.
i cannot get the (*%)@($*%) thing to stay charged long enough to even load it. and it is not even a year old. i guess i have to go to the apple store, which is a bit of a pain what with a crazy three year old running around, and the fact that i have a PC and they will want to test it with that, meaning i have to bring my laptop, etc, etc, etc.
and it is 108 heat index. so aggravating. nearly everything is aggravating in this heat, but particularly the idea that i may have to go through cleaning other peoples' houses with no music in my ears until this issue is resolved.
grrrrr.

thanks, steve. i think if apple will not just replace it, i will take advantage of their out of warranty battery replacement program, which costs about the same amount. hopefully they will just take care of the problem since the iPod was replaced less than a year ago.

bored at work and got to your page from Rachel's. I had the same problem with mine, bring it to me, let me have for a week and I'll fix it. You can drop it at work if your out. I'm on Cooper almost at Young.
Or e-mail me and I'll tell you how to fix it. But it takes forever.
