Send it in for repairs.

I would take full advantage of the warranty regardless of the BS involved. I'm happier knowing that the problem will get fixed rather than have a door knob in my possession.

One of the features that comes with each and every new Apple product is a warranty. How much more hassle than trying "all sorts of resets, draining the battery fully then rechargi…

Just thought there might a trick to getting the battery to accept a full charge. Thanks for sarcastic and insulting reply. I had no idea it came with a warranty, jerk. Quote: …

No need for anyone to get hostile. It's difficult to convey sarcasm and other emotions in a post, so I'm sure it is just a misunderstanding. Definetly send it in to Apple for …

Unfortunately, Apple usually makes you try all those resets and junk BEFORE they allow to to send it in for warranty. Take it to a local Apple store if you have one, otherwise cal…

Chris, I have seen scores of people who feel that they cannot deal with life for one day without their iPod, even if it doesn't work. They will spend literally days trying to res…

Hi, This issue has come up twice recently, would like to understand how to deal with it. 1) My boss splits his iTunes library between his work machine (which holds work-related au…

1) Yes, manual syncing will work. To use iTMS purchased songs, he'll need both computers authorized. 2) If you use an iPod camera connector, you can hook up the iPod to the camera…

A shame for sure.. but you could always have headphones with a remote that could connect via dock connector.

I noticed people talked about this no remote issue within other topics. Sorry.

The original iPod remote should still work.

No it won't. The original iPod had a "ring" around the headphone jack that conveyed the signals from the remote. Unless I'm very much mistaken, the new iPod has no such thing. And …

I never used mine anyway - did you guys really use it? I thought it made the cord too long.

It did make the cord too long, because of Apple's decision to only make full-length cords for the iPod. MiniDisc players and other devices that come with in-line remotes usually us…

I use the remote on my 3G iPod. I usually put the iPod in my pocket, coil up the remote cord and stuff it into the pocket, and clip the remote to the top of the pocket. that way th…

Thank god, it sucked and the cable was to damn long.

Why are some people incapable of understanding that others may have different needs than their own? "Thank god?" The remote's very existence offended you somehow?

It wasn't the greatest remote in the world, and Apple's handling of it visa-vie the cord length was pretty half-assed. But there are all sorts of situations where it is convenient …

To slightly divert the topic, it now looks like any in-line remotes for any iPod generation are going the way of the dodo. If I want to pick one up for my iPod photo, should I get…

I only know of one third party remote, but there are probably more. I bought one of these a while ago. It's very cheap feeling (very light and the buttons are kind of crappy) but i…

I actually liked the remote. I had the SP style inner ear headphones from sony so the cord was really short. The apple remote plus those were a great length.

The iFM might be a possible remote alternative for the new iPods. It is an FM radio tuner, but also acts as a remote control that plugs into the dock connector. Apparently you have…
