Anyone have an iPod 5G with no dead pixels???

i bought my gf a black one online at apple.ca for her birthday on Oct 27 and then noticed 2 big light blue dead pixels 1 week after we received it. I sent it back after the poor girl only got to use it for 1 week , and guess what it's been over 1 month already, and it's still being processed by Apple!!! Although they said they are replacing it, there's still nothing for her to listen to for over a month! To make the story even more ironic, today we both bought a new white 60gig ipod for her dad for christmas, and i just opened it a few minutes ago to upload some songs for him, and guess what! 1 big blue dead pixel right on the middle left of the screen! Sigh... good thing this time we bought it at the local bestbuy store and got the extended warranty, so we are able to just exchange it right away, instead of waiting, for God knows how long, until Apple sends another one to my girl.
I'm just wondering if every single iPod out there has dead pixels, because it is only noticable when we watch videos on it... but when we do see it, it is really bad and noticeable.
Please, if anyone out there has watched movies on their iPod and don't have any dead pixels, let us know!!!!

thx for your replies guys, that gives me some hope... hopefully i can exchange for another one that won't have this problem. greatly appreciate your helpful comments!

    To update

    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X.
    If your iPod does not have volume buttons on the upper left edge it is a 1G. Those can only go to 3.1.3 by

    All the music should be on the computer so you can just sync the music back to the iPod after you restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. Regarding app data, just export (email/file sharing etc) as much as possible so you can import it back.

    To recover the photos from an iPod Classic you'll need to use third-party software and the photos gained will be quite low resolution.
    See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 for possibilities.

    Disable the Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC option from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes and see if that helps.

    Hi,
    Try resetting your iPod:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430. 
    If that doesn't work, try restoring it:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414. 
    If all else fails, you will have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. 
    Hope this helps!

  • I have an ipod touch with ios 5.1.1 that wont connect to wifi. what can i do?

    have an ipod touch with ios 5.1.1 that wont connect to wifi. what can i do? Ive done a restore, recovery, and still wont connect.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. Not clear if you did this type of restore
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • What USB 3.0 card should I get for early 2009 Mac Pro so I can connect the Drobo 5D? They say get CalDigit or Sonnet. Anyone have preference or experience with reliability. Trying to find which is better.

    What USB 3.0 card should I get for early 2009 Mac Pro so I can connect the Drobo 5D? They say get CalDigit or Sonnet. Anyone have preference or experience with reliability with this. I am running Lion and Trying to find which is better as I know from experience not all cards are created equal. Thanks in advance for your help!

    High Point RocketU Quad USB 3.0 for Mac is working great for me. Had an issue with CD/DVD Drive which was resolved with most current driver downloaded from the support site.
    Running Moutain Lion on Early 2009, mirroring two Seagate Go Flex 2TB USB 3.0 Drives. Installed in Slot 4.
    Using it primarily with VMWare Fusion for Virtual Drives. Windows, Unbuntu and other OS running really well.
    HPT Support was responsive and very helpfull using the WEB Portal under the product page.
    I have some comments and a suggestion:
    Have you tried your setup with a SD/CF combo card reader (like the Lexar or Kingston FCR-H63)? Does the card appear on the desktop when first plugged in?
    Did you need to fool around with any kind of power issues in installing this card in the x4 PCIe slot of the MacPro?
    Suggestion. Have you tried one of the fixed in this article to cure the BT issues in MacPro 3,1?
    Good luck.

  • Anyone have an iPod case like this?

    I want to know, does anyone have an iPod case similar to the one linked to below?
    I'm looking for one for my 5th gen iTouch, and haven't been able to find one in America or on American Amazon (the one I found is on the UK Amazon).
    If you have one similar to this, or any other suggestions, please answer. I like the thin, tpu material, and prefferably the case will be clear.
    Thanks to everyone who answers!

    btw, dont say things like "google it for yourself" or "look on amazon".
    I have looked and not quite found the perfect one yet and I'm looking for anyone's suggestions!

    Will this work out for you???
    I hate to be too picky but I never have quite liked those hard plastic shells. Tpu is really more of what I am looking for (and for everyone else, I prefer Amazon to eBay, so if you know of one on Amazon, that would be better). Silicone is not an option either.
    It does look like a decent case at a fair price, and for trying going on what I described I marked your answer as helpful.

  • I have an Ipod 2g with a cracked screen...

    I have an Ipod 2g with a cracked screen, however, it still worked perfectly. A month ago, some water seeped into the cracks and when I turned it on, it shut off forever. Now, it seems to be dried off and I want to know if there's anyway to fix it.

    Probably not.
