I've been trying to get it to synch for 2 days now. I got it to get the new songs on it, but it would stop saying "do not disconnect"
I'm re-installing for the 3rd time now.

I'm afraid to buy one of these. They seem to have more problems than they're worth.

Never had a problem with my 6 gig mini

I'm buying one in about a week or so, with a good warranty. Electronics ALWAYS break on me. Always.

I have an iRiver and never have problems with it. It rules. Don't have to use iTunes either.

Pee on it. Works for me although it smells.

I thought about holding out for that, but 1st versions always have errors and they improve them almost immediately. I am not that patient.

i bought a refurbished 20 gig click wheel off the apple website for 160 bucks. no problems. the video just seemed like another thing to break on it to me.

I've got the 30G, it completely shit itself once, wouldn't charge, wouldn't connect, and all I had to do was bring it to the closest Apple store and they replaced it then and there. It took maybe 5 minutes for it to update from scratch. Whatever's in iTunes will go back onto the new iPod. I'm going up there before Xmas to get the warranty extended another 2 years. Even if it's buggy, at least they'll fix or replace it.

i had a 4 gb mini for about a year, never had any problems. i even dropped it like 50 times on pavement, concrete, cement, etc. and it just got a few dings and dents. i upgraded to a 60 gb video iPod in august and have not had any problems yet. but it's under warranty so it's all good.
[Oct 17,2006 4:41pm - the_reverend ""]
it won't synch... I folllowed all their steps three times. gr...
[Oct 17,2006 4:45pm - the_reverend ""]
if I brought it in to get replaced, I would get the 80gb since the 60s are gone. I wanted a 120GB trye video one...
the zune looks gay and over sized. the new ipods will have blue tooth.
[Oct 17,2006 4:49pm - the_reverend ""]
AWESOME!!! I just plugged my ipod in and all my songs are gone.
boy, I sure am glad I can listen to them while I'm driving!
[Oct 17,2006 4:58pm - pam ""]
yikes.
[Oct 17,2006 5:14pm - the_reverend ""]
the iPods can have issues, but zunes are hella, mega, and wicked gay all at the same time. from someone that hates the PSP, this is like saying "i don't like white people, but nazis are really cool!"

I'll get an iPod, I am lazy and seek instant gratification. Plus I get to have an 80gig one. I can't wait to tune everyone out in public again.
[Oct 17,2006 5:27pm - the_reverend ""]
I got a set of headphones from walmart for $15 that rule. now, it just need my iPod to work. oh, and a banana hamock holder for it.

Hot.
I dream of walking around campus and hearing Judas Priest instead of "LIKE SO ANYWAY, OH MY GOD, LIKE, WOW".

You bought from Apple, this is what you deserve.
[Oct 17,2006 7:11pm - the_reverend ""]
I hooked it up to another computer and it finally updated.
lame

These are the people who brought you the Macintosh portable in 1990 or so. Remember that? Probably not, for good reason.
[Oct 17,2006 7:25pm - the_reverend ""]
I think I found one and it's in my closet.

Truthfully, every other ipod-owner I've talked to has had some problem with it, and I'm no exception. However, the warranty I had enabled me to get mine replaced (and come to find out, the problem I was having was because I didn't have USB 2.0, so it wasn't a shortcoming of the ipod itself). So your plan to get a good warranty is definitely a good plan. All in all, I'm very satisfied with my ipod. I have a 40 gig original or something, the normal white one whatever it is. I havn't had any problems with it since it was replaced. The only complaint I have is the ipod itself puts split-second gaps between every song, and there is no way to change this (at least, I've talked to many many people and no one has found a solution that I know of). This can be very very annoying for albums where all the songs flow together. I pretty much can't deal with listening to Dark Side Of The Moon or Death's Design and the like on the ipod, especially with Death's Design since the tracks are so short, it's way too much to handle. Other than that, I'm very very satisfied with it. Just make sure that you have USB 2.0, and if you don't, install the ipod software using a different computer. As long as you install the ipod software onto it using USB 2.0, it doesn't matter if you have it to upload songs, it will just upload at a slightly slower rate.

I have no idea if I have USB 2.0 on my laptop, I might on the desktop. Thanks man! I feel better.
[Oct 17,2006 8:20pm - pam ""]
That little second pause is totally annoying. I've yet to find a way around that with mp3's.
[Oct 17,2006 8:24pm - the_reverend ""]
I have no gap between songs.
[Oct 17,2006 8:25pm - pam ""]
Do you know how you did that?

No problem. If you have a PC, I'm pretty sure the easiest way to check if you have USB 2.0 or not is to go into Control Panel - System - Device Manager, then open the USB tag and check the properties on the hub(s). It should specify if it's USB 2.0. Also, another way to know is if you plug in something that is meant for USB 2.0 and you don't have it, a message should come up that says something like "Warning, a high speed device is plugged into a low speed port, blah blah blah".
[Oct 17,2006 8:31pm - retzam ""]
Rev, you gotta tell us how you did that.
