IPod started working again after the service request

Seen this question before but no target answer.
I finally dispaired and placed a request for a warranty swap out after a few days of puzzling over my mini. Tonight I have discovered that it is very precious about which drive letter it receives. With my card reader unplugged, the iPod seemed to not get recognised with the letter assigned. So now I am 99% sure all is well but guess I'll be seeing UPS in the next week.
Any way I can cancel this???
Thanks

What shall I say, since today (at least 2h ago) it's dead again. Once again I had the alarm (by playlist) turned on and listened to a single song the night before. Both times, my iPod was attached to a set of active PC speakers all night.
One theory I have is that a bug makes it freeze for 24 hours, or that it has to get power at alarm time...
Please, could someone of the Apple support team tell me how to deal with this problem? And will the franking of the UPS package I've got lying around here still be valid if I sent in my iPod today?

    How do i get my ipod to work again after it died and wont charge?

    Well...hm... Your going to have to replace it, or get it serviced. Or give it to Apple for a 10% discount on another. What gen is it? Some people buy broken iPods like:

  • How I got my ipdo to work again after the latest updater

    after about 20 hours of headaches and listening to everyone's similar problems and trying everything under the rotten apple tree, here's yet another solution that seems to have fixed the problem. will have to wait and see how long.
    I went to another computer that has never been tainted by (cr)apple software before. downloaded (do a save to a folder not a run) an earlier ipod updater from here http://www.soft32.com/download_121872.html
    I then disabled my network connection and installed the updater. after doing that I got a windows pop-up about rebooting to update my usb drivers. I said no, I prefer microsoft.
    it took a couple of tries but I got my ipod restored with nothing on it of course.
    I then installed itunes (latest version). It did recognize my ipod and I told it "not to auto update". I played around manually dragging files onto my ipod and it seemed ok so I took it back to the original computer that has my thousands of songs on it. experimented some more with manually updating it. felt it was working fairly well so took a chance at having it auto-update. all seems fine now.
    now at the risk of being un-constitutionally censored here's my opinion about the whole scneario.
    a) the people at apple are too incompetent to conjure up a "force to upgrade hardware" scheme. sorry, it's simply just that same incompetence that has created the problem. the same incompetence that can't fix the problem. and the same incompetence that ignores the problem. any decent company wouldn't ignore it's customers like this. at least admit the problem and say your working on it.
    b) when an apple product works it works...when it doesn't it doesn't. there are no fixes, no solutions. when it breaks it's time to purchase something new. anyone even contemplating sending in their ipod for repair shouldn't. if you are going to dish out that kind of dough you should move away from apple's proprietary stuff and get with the program and move to an industry standard such as mp3.
    c) the ipod fad will end like everything else in apple's history. the ipod like every other apple product is a joke. why else after 20 years can they only manage but a tiny percentage of the personal computing market.
    d) I'm obviously not a fan of apple, never have been never will be..just had a brief moment of insanity when purchasing my ipod a couple years back. will never happen again.
    thanks fellow customers for listening...thanks apple for nothing

  • When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Please help. My ipod classic could not be recognised by itunes when I connect my ipod to PC. Previously it has been recognised before I updated. This was a while ago now and so I removed all apple files and re installed the latest itunes but am having the same problem.
    When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
    If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
    For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
    9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
    Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
    After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.

    If the center portion of the monitor is flickering then your GPU on the logic is bad or (unlikely given this symptom) that your monitor cable is pinched/damaged.
    **Imediately backup ALL your important data while you can still see things on the monitor
    Contact Apple for appt. for in shop diagnostics for full examination and for parts replacement
    nobody can give you a cost on a repair that isnt fully diagnosed online and cannot be.
    perform SMC reset just to check:
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 

  • I have ebooks on my ipod and when I'm listening to a story it will not go to the next chapter, it just starts over again with the chapter I just listen too.  How do I correct this?  It didn't do this before.

    I have ebooks on my ipod and when I'm listening to a story it will not go to the next chapter, it just starts over again with the chapter I just listen too.  How do I correct this?  It didn't do this before.

    ebooks is a term for (mainly) textual books that can be read on screen. If you're listening then I think you mean audiobooks. See audiobooks on iPods. Either reorganize as single files or access via a playlist.
