Current Mood: not fooled

(no subject)

O HAY ITUNES >:(

There was a reason it took me two years to buy an ipod again after my last one caused me so much trouble. My sexy 2007-bought ipod Nano has so far decided that it didn't like playing songs and today realised it didn't want to come on at all. Seeing as merely plugging it into the computer foiled its shenanigans last time, I tried it and was disheartened to see iTunes' alarming message: OMG YOUR IPOD IS CORRUPTED IT CAN BE WIEP FILES TIME NOW?

I deliberated. Six-hundred carefully sourced songs. (Okay, one was Spice Girls, but...) I had to make a choice.

I Googled.

Some tech forum had a post which read, "hold the "centre and menu" buttons down, and the ipod will reboot in a few seconds. Not corrupt, just locked-up... its a mac thing."

Such a ridiculously simple thing wouldn't work, right?

Wrong. Damn you and your Faustian advice, iTunes! No riding into the valley of death for the six hundred today. >:

This post is so funny. I do not own an IPod or any MP3 player because I am technologically unsound. But its amazing that they tell you things like OH GOD, ITS ALL GOING TO HELL!!!!! and holding down two buttons fixed everything. Yeah, I'll stick to my Discman thanks.

It's the middle button and you know the scroller? Press above the middle. As if you're taking it's pulse. It resets it.

er, motherfucker.

mine tried to trick me into thinking it was corrupted every damn time when I was running win2k. Now I'm on 3k and it only does it half the time :> Windows discrimination.

Wondershare! Get it! Rescues all the songs off Le 'Pod in case disaster strikes. It was sent from heaven to save me last year when I needed a new one and had been migrating round the country adding from other people's computers for six months.

iPods are, frankly, a bit shit but they own my soul.

The same thing happened to mine, and I freaked out hugely, and then my girlfriend looked online for me while I was freaking out and found the two-button fix and I said "no way will that work, it's too simple" and she said "try it anyway" and I said "fine but it's not going to work" and then it worked. Basically, iTunes was invented by Satan NO WORD OF A LIE.

This is like an AA for iPod errors. This happened to me too and felt like slapping Apple round the chops.

Bitch. We have a date tonight. Get on MSN!

thats what happened to mine when I was on holiday in Italy and I had to go the whole holuday without music as I had no idea how to fix it til I got home!

Stop molesting your iPod. That is all.
