you may be surprised when the genius hands you a new ipod for your trouble of driving to a store. it happens all the time. in fact, spend some time in the apple store and you may e…

Yeah, I did that with my son's iPod. They ran the hard drive diagnostic on it, it failed, and the Genius said, "we'll have to replace it." It took exactly the 15 minute appointme…

Alrighty, folks! I walked up to the Genius bar, handed the dude the iPod, he played around with it, checked the info and would have handed me a replacement right then and there (as…

names = details. sometimes we all get caught up in them. but it was for the better, right? ipods can be touchy. part of the big cost for your ipod is for the fact that you can get…

I have a 20 Gig Clickwheel iPod (pre color screen). I used to be able to sync it fully via Firewire or USB 2.0. Recently when i add new playlists or delete songs from playlists..…

I had this problem once, for some reason after I deleted the newest additions to my library, then re-synced everything was fine.

Hi, Does anyone reconize the following font? The darn thing switched last week when I upgraded OSX. I've cleared the Safari cache and reset it and no fix. If I knew the font, t…

Well, I always say, if you keep searching and working on a problem, you'll eventually find the solution. I pasted in some of the text into MS Word. MS Word identified the font as…

Umm. MS Office had nothing to do with it. It sounds like a corrupted font cache somewhere. For one thing, it's not as if this is a widespread problem. (In fact, the primary cause …

I don't mess with any /System/Library/Fonts folders. In fact I don't recall ever modifying anything in the System/Library. I didn't have this problem until I updated OS X and Off…

I never suggested you messed with /System/Library/Fonts. I was just saying that the symptoms were most reminiscent of. You'd know if you'd messed with that folder -- you have to ju…

Hi folks... bought a new ipod, plugged it in to "sync." battery looks full. i did a fresh restart with the 6-28 firmware and booted into itunes 6.05 and the sync always locks up! i…

I am having the same problem. I have reinstalled everything except the iPod Driver, which I cannot find to deinstall. The problem does not occur on the Windows apparently. any he…

Have tried all the options - removing software, resetting iPod. Have tried it on my Windows Machine (yuk) and it works fine... No response from Applecare on this one.

This thread is from a couple of weeks ago... the day after posting, I brought it in and got a replacement in the Store. very good service except that my replacement 'pod is without…

There's nothing special about the laser engraving Apple does. Any place that does laser engraving can do it for you, and for not too much money. I'd stick with laser engraving, t…

I have not replace the ipod but did manage to isolate several files that would cause the sync to freeze. Excluding them I have no problem, however, why they create problems is an i…

cool, if i see a place that does the work maybe i'll spring for it... thanks for the tip

The ad agency I work at has several ipods for a client of ours. We want to put one of their commercials on it, so they can watch it. I can convert the video, not a problem. The p…
