I have had a bad apple week. Some may remember my 'im really pissed off..... thread' that I started a few days ago, when my 2 week old (though 2nd hand) powerbook hard disc failed and I had to cough up for a new one (though the old owner was very kind and paid half of the new hd cost). Now not as pissed off, but fairly annoyed (this didnt hold a weeks work) my 4th gen ipod is deaded, go to switch it on and nothing, plug it in and nothing. Worst of all it died on dock just before about to be played on my pc. This has not been a great week for me and my apple relations, on the plus side I saw Wallace and gromit last night and it was rather amusing, which I enjoyed.
End of my pointless rant.
wonder if my ipod is covered by warrenty?

I hope so lol, if not I will be a little bit more pissed off, though good news is the other week I bought a 4th gen 20gb ipod for 87 quid so if all goes tits up il use that and sell mine on for spares whan it arrives.

They should do my 6 month old powerbook went in for repair and i thought they were going to fob me off, they picked it up on the monday and it was back fixed on the wednesday (superb service)
If it is an ipod though they will probably just replace it.
I know other people who have had theres replaced before without any problems.
I think you have just been unlucky luke i really do, don't let this put you off.
Apple rock!!!

damn right i still love apple stuff, the mac is fixed now and im loving it lol, il just use my p910i i for a mp3 player, or maybe the w800i ive got, or possibly the k750i as i dont mind if that gets trashed, decisions decisions. Do you recon they would replace the ipod with a ipod video or is that just to hopeful?
Posted by haynesycop
i doubt it to be honest with you, that is like them replacing my powerbook with an imc g5
they will just swap like for like probably unless it can be fixed they will just fix it, i still need to sell my ipod so i can get a video one.
you want to buy that
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
lol, thats what I thought, but then again if they don't have any old ones as its now discontinued lol.
I may achually, how much are you looking for it?
I have achually bought one from a friend for £87.00, but it hasnt come yet as they are out of the uk at the moment so may be interested.

I really wanted £150 as it is mint and still has plastic on the click wheel.
Was really hoping to raise as much as i can so i don't have to put much towards a new video ipod as i am skint
Posted by Luke-the-magic-man
ah its that mint is it. Has it been used?
I do't know if you would get 150 for it, but I think you could def get around 120 pos, isnt coxy looking for one?
Posted by haynesycop
£120 sounds ok to me..
Would prefer more but hey!
Will give it a few more bumps i think
Thanks

no way apple all the way, good idea joolsg4, i remember that happening to my ipod and i tried something on there and it got working again.
i used a stupid ipod updater that screwed it up.

I would try a differnt brand, but the problem is ipods are just so damn cool, the hardware is awsome (besides the scratching and used to be crap battery life) but the ipod is awsome ive had a few over the years and they are the best (sony nice hardware but crap systems and not great design).
@jools - thanks but ipods are probally the only apple product I can used well, and as soon as it buggered up I went through all my forums and articels on them looking for the fault, but its just completly messed up. It won't switch on, and when plugged into the mains pc/mac does nothing. What im going to try to do is get a refund from dabs, then buy the latest ipod video lol, or if that fails just get apple to fix it
