Last night while uploading music to my iPod the little bugger crapped out on me. It put up the folder icon (unhappy iPod) and refused to turn on. I got it to work in disk mode but that doesn't help when I want to use the thing. In addition, it wouldn't take a charge so it was dying before I could play with it.
So this morning I took it to work and got it to charge in disk mode. I called the store where I got it and they said it's under the 30 day return so I could just return it. He suggested I call their support They have a cool voice recognition setup when you call and it doesn't sound like a computer.
The apple guy said I could try to restore it. My restore program at home doesn't recognize the iPod so I figured I was SOL. I downloaded it fresh from the net and ran it on my work computer (shame shame.) And now it works fine. I'm hoping that when I get home I can use the new program and things will be allright. I had over 10 gig of music on it that I have to reload tonight.
