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. >:
