Ipod help

[M-technik-3]

it keeps coming on and shutting off continuously! why?

[Vince30]

Because apple makes it.

haha, it's always worked fine before. Tried all the things in the troubleshooter guide too.

[TS323]

just go in and get a new one. they're usually pretty good about that. mine use to do it and i was able to get a new one. if they dont wanna give it up, just bitch enough, it should happen.

my 120gig does that crap every time it starts getting hot out.

i have talked to apple support (after a 35 MIN wait on hold) and the guy told me mine was better than the newer classics because it had an actual hard drive where as the new ones don't and not to get rid of it.

if someone else made a 120/160gig device, i would buy it.
F apple!

BTW if you have a wire cup holder in your console, it makes a better iPod classic holder than a drink holder (more like coffee launcher)

mine gets carried around the world in a swimmers pouch, means it doesn't get all that hot. It needs a new battery and since it's a limited edition model and my kids gave it to me I would prefer they fix it.

It's a bad battery, it will cause it to shut off at random. What kind of ipod is it? The classic ones are pretty simple to take apart, touches can be done but they are a lot harder than they look. I busted the shit out of the first few touches I ever took apart.

What's a swimmers pouch? I'm a swimmer and never wore more than a speedo... Greg, do you fly in a speedo under your flight suit?

Meh, I guess everyone has their experiences. I've been rocking my Zune for two years now trouble free. My stupid soundgate car adapter dealio destroyed my battery so after I replaced that its been better than the first day I got it.

My previous experience with an iPod wasn't as smooth...granted I had that thing for like 4yrs (died in 2008). The god damn thing would crash and reformat itself like every 2 months, in the end I threw the fucking thing against the floor and ordered myself a Zune. iTunes is a pain in the ass well.


O/P sorry for the rant but it does sound like a battery issue and shouldn't be that difficult to DIY.

[Huff]

It's your battery or possibly your system board. What model/ generation do you have?

Check out iFixit for parts and repair manual's..

Zune FTW. i have had my Zune since it came out, once in a while it will lagg and freeze but that's only when i leave it in my car in the heat.
