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

set the ipod to manual syncing. That way, tracks and videos can be added and deleted at will, but only by hand. Note that if your clients are going to be using Windows, the iPod …

Well, here's my pity story. I never imagined my iPod dying on me. I was just starting up a song, and about 4 seconds into it, the screen just freezes. Nothing I do helps at all. …

If your iPod is within it's one year warranty (which every 5th generation iPod is,) all repairs by an Apple Authorized service center should be 100% free of charge (they charge App…

I am having the exact same problem but I am about 4 months out of warranty. Is there a self help option available?

i think somebody is using two names

? What are you talking about. Can I assume from your response that you can't offer any help?

I don't know about where you are, so I can't tell you anything about what's in your area. But I CAN tell you that you should FIRST reset your iPod. That means holding the Menu an…
