Does the 60 Gig color have some huge flaw?

Ok, I'm fed up with it. I bought a 60G color iPod in the beginning of August, and I've had to return it three times for repairs so far. Each time I've gotten a brand new iPod sent back to me, and each time they've had similar issues.
I just got my FOURTH ONE and after less than two hours of play time, the thing has bricked. No power, mover folder icons, no unhappy iPod icons. Just a blank screen.
I'm beginning to wonder if there's just some serious flaw with the 60G model. I've never heard anything as such, but I also don't know anyone who has a 60G model. I just can't believe I've gone through 4 of them in six months. It just doesn't make sense!
iPod Photo 60Gig   Windows XP  

As far as I can tell, I'm not doing anything wrong.
I load it up with about 15 gigs of music. It
includes wav's and mp3's. I use it regularly. I
listen to it to and from work, and any time I'm in
the car, which is often. It probably gets at least
4 to 6 hours of play a day. I leave it to charge
and update everynight (as I have several smart
playlists that are based on number of times played)
I don't perform any weird functions on it. I just
use it for what it's for, a lot.
I'm going insane changing out ipods all the time.
I can imagine. Personally I would go back where you took the previous iPods and ask them for further information - I personally think they'll have more to tell than, maybe, anyone here. It does sound rather odd.
Good Luck!

  • Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

    I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

    It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

    Does it even really matter...?
    Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
    Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

  • Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another?

    Why does the same RGB color appear lighter in one ai file and darker in another??  I want to use the more vibrant color, but when I try to reproduce the same RGB color code in another Adobe Illustrator (ai) file, it shows up darker.  I printed the two files out, and you can see the difference in the print too.  I exported the color orginally as an eps file from an ArcGIS map.
    Any insight is greatly appreciated!
    Anne

    You illustrator files may have different color profiles attached.
    Set to show your color profile in the bottom left of each document by using the flyout menu >> show >> document color profile
    Then you can use edit >> assign profile to get them the same
    Yours are quite far off for RGB (which are usually close to each other for many profile due to wide gamut).  I question as Jacob did if one of your documents are in CMYK mode. Look in parenthesis after the document name at top of window.
    Check if view > proof setup is the same (do not use the uncoated profile as in my screenshot, that was only there cause of my testing)
    Make sure view >> proofs colors is checked or unchecked for both.
    To get them to print the same, check these settings are the same
    Sorry for all the screenshots, but hopefully one day we will see Adobe's complex color management united all in one window.

  • Does the new mac mini have Hdmi 1.4?

    I'm thinking about buying a Mac mini in combination with a 3D monitor but every where on the Internet they are talking about HDMI 1.4a or something like that... Is it necessary? And does the Mac mini (2012) have it?

    Not certain, but it says here that 1.4 does not support 3-D, that 1.4a is needed...

    Not the MBP-R's, you can't even change the RAM or storage in them.
    The other 15" MBP's you can and they include the Superdrive built in.
    Last time you do a impulsive purchase huh?

  • HT204158 does the ipad smart case have a warranty

    Does the iPad smart case have a warranty?

    Heidi,
    I purchased a smart case as a gift for a relative, at a local Apple store. In a few months it developed the same problem as your case.  I took it back to the Apple store and was told there was a 1year warranty which  covered manufacturing defects, as long as the product was not abused.  I told them that the glue problem was a Factory defect and I wanted a  replacement, which was granted to me.  Talking to someone face to face does give you more leverage than talking to phone personnel who might be a few thousand miles away.  So, if you have an Apple store in your area, you may get better results there.

  • Does the new ipod touch have the same camera optics as the iphone 4S?

    Does the new iPod Touch have the same camera optics as the iPhone 4S?

    Thank you for your reply. But once again if you can clarify please: Let's say I want to purchase the new white iPod Touch (introduced October 2011), will it have the 8 MP camera and improved optics? I'm wondering because I love to take photos and use photo-sharing apps, and I've read so many great reviews on the outstanding camera of the iPhone 4S - but I can't afford the iPhone just yet (also because of my current phone contract) so I was wondering if the newest iPod Touch camera is the same as iPhone 4S. I have the iPod Touch 4th gen, the one introduced Sept 2010, and as you may know that camera isn't the best. I just want to take better photos to share.
    Thank you.

  • How much ram does the iPhone 6 Plus have?

    How much ram does the iPhone 6 Plus have?

    This is what I got on the info....
    IPhone’s RAM has been very little, even pitiful compared to other flagships. Now 1GB RAM is still the standard configuration for the current iPhone 5 / 5s and iPhone 6.
    Is Apple’s system optimization can really never need to increase the memory capacity? Obviously the answer is no. Recently, GSMArena published a sheet of iPhone 6 Plus detailed specifications, we can clearly see the “2GB RAM” in the memory list.
    GSMArena also posted the benchmark score for iPhone 6 yesterday, but we seen that A8 GPU not seem to improve a lot in the processing capability compared to A7 – only increased 4.65%.
    Apple usually not declare the detailed hardware parameters of their products, because those indicators not have too many advantages compared to other similar products, and even looks a bit shabby. But for Apple, these are not the most important, the company always focusing on the overall performance and user experience of the product. iPhone 6 Plus is the largest ever. Apple has said the iPhone 6 Plus screen reached 1080P in the event, as a larger screen means more resource consumption, and the processor needs to handle higher pixel image, so increasing RAM is the best choice to enhance stability and performance.
    So based on the above evidence and our speculate, iPhone 6 is indeed possible with 2GB RAM. If in doubt, all we could wait is finding out the truth after dismantling the device. Course this just may be a beginning, we also expect Apple can give more memory for the upcoming next-generation iPad and iPad Mini.
