I am so sick and tired of this thing I could scream...
Apple products are garbage even in this day and age. They try to "idiot proof" everything so much their products just are completley useless. For instance, my iPod locks up on me like every other time I plug it into my computer. I have to let the battery run ALL THE WAY DOWN so it will shut itself off so I can "reset it" so I can use it again. What in the HELL is wrong with putting a manual shut off switch on this thing so if it does lock up you can fucking restart it and don't have to wait 8 hours to use it again? Does anyone know if there is any way at all to manually shut this stupid thing off to restart it so I can actually use it or am I screwed for the next 8 hours? -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

Can't you just hold play and select for 6 seconds?
Before you do that, place it to hold for ten seconds and then back to un-hold. --------------------  |

put it on hold for a little bit then take it off. It will sit for a few minutes and then shut off.

actually my 60gb video has the same problem.
sometimes it locks up and i have to wait for the battery to die down, it sucks. and yes, i know about holding the the play button, etc. and it doesnt work. most of the time it does, but a lot of the time it doesn't. gay --------------------  |

I seriously may have met less than five people who have owned iPods (NOT shuffles or nanos, those seem great) and not had all kinds of problems.
How are these things so popular ! The crazy majority have to get something replaced in less than 2 years of use, or it just dies on them or some other slew of problems. -------------------- QUOTE (Lance) now we have some dude from argentina wondering how to fuck dogmeat |

if I would have known about how lame ipods were before I bought one I never would have...
I'd never seen nor used one before I got it, I just "heard" about it. it's a typical apple "claim we're going to revolutionize the world" product that is basically crap in reality. heh

Your iPod will most definitely go bad if you knock it around and drop it and shit, its just like an external Hard drive with software to play music. This holds true for MOST high-capacity MP3 players. Hard Drives are sensitive devices and weren't really intended to be "mobile" like described. As explained before this is why the Solid State memory ones are much more reliable.
So if you want your iPod to not suck be very careful with it and it should work okay. |

I thought the software on the device was pretty cool, and the fact that random function would weigh the songs based how their "popularity" to the user. I bought a dell dj 20 for 100 bucks two years ago, worst buy I did. Flash is def the way to go. -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

I think I read somewhere recently that solid-state storage will replace the traditional hard drives the next time they revise the "regular" and video iPods.
It's likely, though, that it's either total bunk or I misread. |

everybody I know with an iPod...whether they are careful with it or not...has problems with it freezing or with the software.
No doubt in my mind that I would buy a Creative or an iRiver instead. |

I guess I should probably note that my iPod Nano is over a year old and I've never had any problems with it at all.

When I worked for CompUSA corporate sales here in Austin, Dell was buying over a million dollars worth of computer parts from us a year. They were our biggest account. I dont know if I was supposed to say that. OH WELL HAHA |
