benos Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yesterday my iPod just stopped playing. It doesn't sound good. Even with it setting 6 feet away from me, it sounds like the drive is making "sticking sounds"... chik chik chik eaaa, chik chik chik eaaa... I plugged it into the charger... and it's been doing that since yesterday. And she's pretty hot... feels like she's got quite the temperature. No response from any buttons. I bought it off apple's refurb store maybe a couple years ago, and I probably bought the extended apple care for it. I'll have to check into that. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighVelocity Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 My 3rd gen met a similar demise. On the bright side, the new 120gig Ipod classic is pretty awesome. I have watched 3 movies on it without recharging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may try to refurb it if they can but it's a start. The only problem is you may have to go there just to set an appointment to get it checked out.

And yes, that is the problem - going there. I hardly ever used this pod for anything other than playing music through my home stereo. So a refurb would be fine. I bought a headphone power booster at Radio Shack, and it goes between my iPod and my stereo. Whenever I'm listening to music, I'm almost always on my porch. So it's a real handy way to control all of my music, without having to leave the porch. And for "speakers in house-I'm on the porch" the music quality is fine for any sort of reasonable volume. pull! I've got two more in the desk drawer... I could shoot a single then a round of doubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Just got off the phone with Apple... even if I would have bought the extended warranty, it would have expired in August '08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Just got a couple refurbs from the apple store. My girlfriend's iPodless as well. And saved about $160 on the pair... not bad. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue on this stuff. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Scott +1 to iTunes. But on an iPod recommendation - I honestly don't know that much about all the different models. I use mine almost exclusively for controlling/playing all the music I have through my home stereo, while I'm sitting on my porch. I think the "touch" is geared not only toward music, but it works WiFi for internet. you can check email, browse the web, as long as you have a WiFi signal. I don't care about doing email/web with a little hand held device, so I've never played with. If need to be on the internet, I'll have my laptop with me. Oh I forgot, I do have an iPod Shuffle. (I got it n/c for opening a credit card account, so I couldn't resist.) It's pretty cool, because you can put 500 MB of mp3 or mp4 music files on it, and it's real small and handy. So say you fill it up with a good cross selection of music - lots of different artists/genera's or whatever, then set it to shuffle the songs, so every time you listen to it it's like your listening to your own radio station of your favorite music. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken hebert Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Try resetting it yet? Hold center and top button for several seconds. Had to do this to mine twice in 3 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpeltier Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Brian, thanks for the info I'm still looking and still confused, but that's normal . At least the confused part. Scott Recently my 11 yr old son asked us for an IPOd for his B-day. while checking them out I handled the I-touch and ended up buying two. I have an Ipod Nano also that is usually in my car and have always liked it. The I-touch is so much more versatile it blows me away. I use it for business as well instead of my old paper day planner. I think in a month and a half its payed for itself ($225.00). It is the second generation I touch that has an external spk so you can hear it without headphones if you want. It aint BOSE quality sound but its usefull. Has a calendar, usable calculator, notepad with keyboard that I can actually use with my big fingers, of course music, Video (I have several home shooting tournament video's on it that I show at any opportunity), Photos (have my business photo portfolio on it and has helped me sell my work) and games which I never thought I would use that feature but is really nice durring down time waiting for a plane or doc visit or whatever. I have used the Wi-Fi feature at home and on the go, it is cool and actually checked for an important e-mail at a restaraunt having lunch recently. I seldom bring my laptop as it is so big by comparison and its easy to zoom in and out to read internet content. If only it had a built in GPS-----Maybe next years model. (or does the I phone have that?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read and seen there is a GPS type function on the iTouch(called safari I think). Still don't know what to buy, maybe I'll just wait till Christmas time there is bound to be something better,faster, more functions by then to confuse me even more.

Scott Its not a true take with you GPS. Its a map program that will show your position and map it. Providing you are connected via Wifi. Allows a quick guide of where you are and where to go but does not track real time once out of wifi range. It is useful though and have played with it a few times.

6-shot Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Yea didn't know what "safari" did just saw the icon on it in Best Buy.The kid trying to sell me the iPod touch wasn't sure what it did either. Thanks for all the help, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpeltier Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Just to clear up any confusion over the "safari" icon, it is basicly the internat access on the itouch, kinda of a homepage button. There is another icon that reads "Maps", which is what I was refering to in my previous post. I did not catch your referance to "safari" earlier.
