Ipod question

Has anyone ever exchanged an Ipod? I purchased mine at the end of May and have recently been having problems with it. It locks up, then I have to reset it. I don't know exactly what the issue is, but it is annoying. Do they bust your balls at the Apple store about exchanges, or are they pretty easy going? I can't make it lock up, it just randomly does it. Any advice?

Take it to the apple store. Apple will replace it if it is still under warranty if:

a) it can't be fixed

b) the damage is not due to your neglect (meaning you dropped it, spilled water on it, etc...)


Every time I've been to the apple store to get something done on my computer, there have been at lest 20 people there with ipod problems. most of them get resolved for nothing.

I saw one guy try and fenagle a new one when his had a HUGE dent in the back. He claimed to not know how it got there.

Today, a girl brought one in a few minutes after she had spilled a diet pepsi in her purse. Not good.

A case for these things is essential.

Sorry guys. I had a thing.

Yeah...Apple is very helpful about this. Just call 1-800-275-2273 and follow the instructions to get to a person. Describe your problem, and they may ask you to put it into diagnostic mode and run a couple of tests. When that doesn't work (assuming your problem is legit), they'll send you a pre-paid box, you put it in, and they'll fix it or send you a new one.

I should say that random lock ups are generally the result of shaking it...I had that problem when i kept it in my pocket and walked around town...that kind of violent motion (i walk fast) can really screw things up. Now i generally hold it or put it in my bag where it doesn't get jostled as much.

P.S. I prefer calling Apple directly because I've heard the people at the Apple store, particularly at soho, can be dicks. I'd much rather deal with the nice midwesterners and californians over the phone.

i'm currently on my FIFTH old-school ipod.

mostly on battery issues.

exchanged every time...pretty much no questions asked.

next time it breaks, i think they are gonna force me to buy a new one... they tried to force me the last time, but this cute girl employee in the apple store saved me.
