Hey thank you very much for your info. Is there any better MP3 players? Like which ones?Thank you once again!

Just to correct one misconception. The iPod is not limited to music purchased at the iTunes store. You mentioned my favorite source, emusic.com which works great with an iPod (or any mp3 player). Unprotected mp3s from any source will work just fine. You are correct in that iPods don't work with subscription services.

thats right. I got my ipod Video 4 months ago and it frooze few mins ago. None of the keys are working. Song title is still up and back ground light is still there.

Ok great thanks for your comments; was getting scared, thought that this version was coming out with problems. BTW, what do you think about the Zune or the Creative Zen? do they match with iPod?Thanks once again

All computers (and that's really what an iPod is) will freeze occasionally. There are two recent posts about freezing (which, I suspect prompted your question)which, aside from sounding like they were written by the same person, were written by people without much knowledge of the device. Like your desktop computer, generally, an iPod is easily reset on the fairly rare occasions when it does freeze. I've had almost every generation of iPod. If they freeze more than once every couple of months, I'd be surprised.

I am planning to buy an iPod, not for a fashion statement, but because everything out for docking, etc., comes for iPod. I already own a very modest, 4-year-old .mp3 player by Creative Labs, but I wanted something bigger with video, etc., so I am planning on iPod. I do have the itunes concern, though. Is Zune by Creative Labs?

My ipod froze once. I went to the ipod website and tried all the listed cures and none seemed to work. After a day, the battery drained, I recharged it and it has worked fine since. I use the ipod in an ihome alarm clock with remote so that may have caused some problems but like I said, it only froze up once and has worked well daily since.

I got a Zune for Christmas and have already sent it back. I loved the look, the feel, the bigger screen, and the radio. The only problem I found was the software and it lagged(like a PC). Until a new version of the Zune comes out I would go with something else.

Wow ok thank you for your post. I am about to buy mine so I hope everything runs very smooth. Happy new week.Yayo =3

I have the exact same problem, my 2nd Gen just broke and the new shuffle appear to be worthless. Some people recommend buying a reconditioned 2nd Gen from Apple but they appear to be out of stock. Not sure where to turn! Ipod Nano is popular but heavier than I'd prefer. Bring back the 2nd Gen Apple!

I'm not a spokesperson for their process, but I do believe they "fill" the IPOD with a waterproof material that basically prevents water from getting into it. Of course Apple will say that they're not waterproof because this process is completely outside and disconnected to Apple. All I know is it works!

They still can't help you on this?? I mean they made the product, there are people out there that still have it, they should support it. I know it doesn't help you now, and I hate to say, I can't even help you. I was having issues with mine, and it ended up freezing on one pic, so I've since unplugged it. Good luck, I hope someone can give you an answer.

I recently bought the 8GB Nano from Amazon and returned it within a week due to the problems you describe. I thought I was the only one. 8GB Nano would freeze up at least once a day, and would sometimes turn on unexpectedly (when it was turned off and I would just pick it up) with a solid white screen that would not turn off and would not respond to button presses - I would have to reset it. I was so disappointed with my ipod experience that I requested a refund (rather than a replacment) so I can buy a competitor's product. I am jaded about Apple/iPod now.

I would not recommend the warranty at all. I had to use it just once and if the item is dropped or has any kind of water damage, it is not covered that is if you can even get past all the run around to get to that point. My question was, how else can an iPod be damaged. What?

March 20, 2014 Sorry. I can't help you with Apple. I had the computer for along time and was not able to operate it effectively. I returned to my old computer. Sorry.Don.......................

Connect it to your computer. iTunes will come up and tell you what to do. If you don't have iTunes, you can download it for free. I always set my iPods up through iTunes and have never had a problem. When I come across things I don't know how to do, I just google it.

The iPod Touch 4 is horrible. It is RAM starved, chugs like mad and is very prone to crashing on even simple internet browsing.If you're really into this device line, I'd strongly recommend upgrading. I am a little disheartened by the specs for the new price, but if it runs in the general ballpark of the iPhone 4S, which it's borrowing parts from, then it'll be a giant improvement for you

Woah, still orange? I wanna say that at one point, I had the same issue but I'm preeetty sure that it went away and eventually turned green (I haven't charged it in like 2 weeks). Currently, I'm in the process of returning the IPOD cuz of some other non-light related reason, but the gentlemen with Underwater Audio has been doing everything I would want as a consumer. I feel confident about my soon to be initiated process of sending the iPod back and receiving a new one.Is your light still staying orange?

I've had trouble with my 20 GB iPod freezing up during running as well; when I called Tech Support, they told me that the problem was that the hard drive has a limited skip protection capability (+/- 20 minutes). Essentially, once I exceeded that buffer, the machine would shut down to protect the hard drive. I switched to the Shuffle and have had absolutely no trouble running with it (even used it on my first marathon!), once I got a neoprene cover to protect it from sweat. The Nano is flash-based like the Shuffle, rather than hard drive-based like the iPod, so it should be fine (though I haven't personally tested it yet).

Mine was missing the iPod cable that plugs into the main unit, but new iPods can plug into a USB cable that plugs into the USB port. HOWEVER, the usb cable does not provide much or a charge, nor does it provide a full on-sreen control experience, so make sure they include the full ipod adapter cable if you want real ipod control. Overall, AMAZING :)

My wife's mac isn't cooperating with her new Clip. Any special steps you took to get it to work? I'm a PC guy, so I'm no help figuring this stuff out. Her IT guy at work - Mac environment - suggested an iPod... of course.

Well you are dealing with less then one percent out of millions of ipod buyers. I think that your ipod will be just fine. But if you were really daring you could open it on your computer and check it for a virus. But i highly doubt that it would.

I just bought an 80 gb ipod here on amazon that's a 5.5 generation. i should have looked more, but i had it saved on my wish list from a few months ago and assumed it was still the newest one! I haven't recieved it yet, but it has already been mailed out and i can't change it. i paid 250 for it because i bought it from one of the sellers, but i am wondering if i should return it and have to wait longer for the new ipod, or if the differences between the 5.5 gen and the new one are too subtle to really make a difference... I don't know what to do and i'm really sad about it because this is my first ipod.
