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 :no:

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.

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. :wacko: 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.

    • Microsoft Authenticator - Constant Login Approval Requests

      By jbarcus81 · Posted

      So for the last few days, and excuse me if I'm not posting in the correct place... anyway, for the last few days I have been getting constant login approval requests from Microsoft Authenticator. I thought maybe someone was trying to get in so I changed my password and backup info... it did stop for a bit after, but now, it's back. I've had maybe 10 today alone. I check the history and there is nothing there.... under my recent activity it just lists my login to view the page, and my last login attempt which I signed into Outlook on my phone on June 18. What is going on? It's asking me to 'type in the code' that's displayed on my screen. I'm not doing it! Anyone else? Anything I should dig deeper into?
