Wow...M$ and Apple just stopped to the same leve!

[Stormtropper]

All right...I got 2 major problems...

Lets start with the more important one...

Today, before I left for school, I left my machine on, and had nothing besides a d/l window open...

...when I got home, I got the dreaded blue screen, so I rebooted, and now my computer is acting like shit...

...I did a full systems scan and turned up no hardware and software problems...

any thoughts?

And the less important one...

...My iPod froze...

..Yes, you heard right...an iPod froze!

I didn't even know that it was possible, until it happened to me...

And now...with Apple and all its wisdom and simplistic design, there is no 'Off' button, so i can't even reboot!...

..son of a bitch...

any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jeff...about to shoot his iPod..but that would void his warranty...

With the Ipod crash you've got to leave it for the battery to run down. Or, actually, try holding down the play and menu buttons. That resets it I believe.

Then plug your ipod into your computer and download the latest software onto it.

[Stormtropper]

Its not responding to anything.....i guess i just gotta wait for the damn battery to run out....

...I just charged it this morning.....

[Woodlouse2002]

How old is it? If it's a 3rd generation one then it'll have run out my the morning. If it's a new one, then you'll be waiting a wee bit longer.

[Stormtropper]

Its a new one...not the photo...but still relatively new...

Take the batteries out.

[Woodlouse2002]

An Ipod is a sealed unit. You can't. You have to let it run down by its self.

Here's how i fix all my apple products (Yes, I have bought apple products, but in my defense, I was 10 and stupid):

Take a blunt object (like a hammer) and use it to apply great amounts of energy to the aforementioned product.

as for the Microsoft product, just sue them.

Good one autopilot, this is why I would buy a Creative Zen ove an IPOD, same thing but cheaper, and you can rpalce the battereies, now theres a thought apple.

Looking at the Zen Micro, but untill they have updated it i wont be buying it as there has been a ton of problems with them.

[Woodlouse2002]

Hahahhahaha. Zen's. What a joke. Everyone who owns one always go on about how it's so superior, cooler and more usable than a iPod. And why do they say that? Because they havn't brought an iPod.

iPods are sleek, shiny, user friendly and fairly reliable. Zen's are bricklike, ugly, crap for browsing through your music and I very much doubt whether there is a jot of difference in reliablity.

LOL - back to the Apple v Amiga v Commodore arguments?

[Woodlouse2002]

It's not an argument.

It's undeniable fact as stated by me.

[Craig.]

having seen the Micro next to the Ipod i would say the Micro is alot nicer looking. Haven't seen the full size one, but i would take the micro over the Ipod if given the choice. But since i cant ever justify

[ATI_7500]

Haha! IPods - what a waste of money!  ;D
