I cant belive this!
My iPod Photo 40 gig is dead!
I've had it for a little over half a year and took great care of it.....
There are no dents or scratches or drops.....

Its totaly unresponsive...

The 1 year apple warrenty is still good and I have a 2 year bestbuy warrenty-
should I call apple or go to bestbuy- and would they repair it or send me a new one?

I'd go to Best Buy. Maybe they'll give you a 60 GB since they couldn't by agreement downgrade you to a 30 GB. I believe that the best buy extended warranty plan is designed so that you don't have to hassle with the manufacturer. At least that's what I was told when I got the 3 years on my xbox. They just said if something breaks, bring it back and you can walk right out of the store with a new one.

I sure hope that they'll just give me a 60 gig- I'm going to Europe at the end of may so it would be horrible to send it in and all

Thanks man- now I have something to hope for tommorow

why dont you try troubleshooting first?!?!?!

Connect up to the charger and then try and reset unit by holding menu and select till apple logo appears. This should bring the ipod "back to life", if successful, your iPod is fine, if not, then it will need service/replacement.

go to depot.info.apple.com and fill out a repair form. They are fast about it, takes less then a week for them to send you a new iPod. Just dont pack any accsessories in the box they ship you or they wont give them back.

Actually, if you base your decisionmaking abilities on completely random forum posts, you might not need a Creative Micro after all. You might be just as happy with a cuisinart, or a pony.

Not saying you're an idiot.

Uhhh. Base your decisions on features, compatability and personal opinion. Try not to 'switch idea' without some research...or some use of your thought processes. In fact, that's not bad advice for most things you choose to do. Like responding to forum posts.

But IMHO basing some research ideas, ZM is superior.
