My iPod broke It was working fine yesterday,and now all I get is a sad iPod picture.
I went to the support site,and did everything they suggested on there,and the damn thing is still not working. Ugh!! and if I send it to them to repair it they will charge me $200!! I can get a new one for that!  Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach | |

i'm so scared of the thought of my iPod breaking and going to iPod heaven. fortunately my iPod is invincible and that will never never never happen.  | |

how old is it?
if it's under a year you should be able to take it to the genius bar and they'll repair/replace it for free (well you know  )
and to all the ipod owners, i highly recommend the extended warranty, i know it's painful to drop another $60 but it's well worth it if anything goes wrong with your ipod. they'll give you a brand spanking new one (or refurbished ) | |

I have a panasonic i got in 2006. It works like a champ.
However for all the picture and photo buffs i would recommend sandisk sansa or insignia. Don't laugh at my funk

if you get the 3-year customer care plan, which is $169, you'll be set for three times as long. But if you have your iTunes library backed up somewhere, once you get the new one, all you have to do is import the tunes from the library (I learned this when I had to reinstall my hard drive.)

my i-pod broke too  | |

have you tried resetting it and then when it is restarting giving it a smack to the side?
it could be the hard disk is stuck. when you put the ipod to your ear, you can hear it. this is a genuine tip which works, i learned it from a guy at a Mac repair shop. yes SIR! | |

Mine is a iPod 20GB classic. I have had it for probably for 3 years now,and currently I have 1011 songs on it. I have most of them backed up,but most of them are out of my cd collection so I'm not to worried about it. It would'nt shut off so now it is dead,after I charge it I will see it smacking it on the side works. I really hope it can be saved,but if not I am going to get a 80GB one. I thought of getting a nano,but they only hold 2,000 songs.  [Edited 8/21/08 3:33am] Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach | |

Three years is about average for an iPod...from what I've been told. I had just sold my last one (a U2 from 2004) to a friend when it died in December 2006. I've had my current one since December 2006. I'm hoping they make 'em with a longer life expectancy now...  [Edited 8/21/08 6:43am] We don’t mourn artists because we knew them.

I saved about half of my ipod as the converted files. I'm saving the other half as we speak  2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

My first one tore up. I even tried damn near beating it to death. It's still a paperweight now. I feel like prying it apart just to look at the inside. I have no use for it. I did hear where you can send broken iPods in for money.....but the postage isn't even worth sending it back. I've waited too long now.....and I think the value's gone down. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |
