An obituary for my iPod
April 2004-February 2007
When you were given to me I treated you as if you were my first child. I loved you, I protected you and now I have let you down. You practically died in my arms, but in reality you died in the holder I bought just for you as I left you in my freezing cold car for nights on end. We have so many memories together, never-ending road trips, days at the beach, parties where you DJed despite people complaining that I have crap music (even though I most definately do not) and requesting that I play more Beyonce or something just as repulsive. I will never forget you my little mini. I can now say that I have loved and I have lost greatly. Farewell sweet little iPod of mine.
OH GOD I CAN’T BELIEVE I KILLED MY IPOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If anyone knows how I might revive it please HELP ME! I left it in extremely cold weather like an idiot and now all I get is a little message with a cute little dead iPod on the picture telling me to go to the iPod support site and I tried everything and it isn’t coming back to me. AHHHHHHH! I don’t think I can take this grief. TAKE ME INSTEAD, TAKE MEEEEEEE! Oh Jesus why? Why? A mother isn’t supposed to bury her child, WHYYYYYYY? *Uncontrolled sobbing* Then again, this means it’s time to upgrade to a color screen. Hmmm.

How did it die? So sad. I am really broken up over this. I know it was outdated and crappy compared to the new one, but it was my little friend. Apple “gave” you a new one? Under warranty or what? Deets please.

mine was still under warranty, i think. i know one of my friends had issues with his and he went in and complained and they gave him a new one (his was older and he got one of the fancy new ones) - i don’t think his was under warranty.
my ipod kept freezing, no matter what i did (the special restart thing, re installing everything) it wouldn’t stop. my new one has been fine . . . so far.

Andrea, try these steps and see if that fixes it:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn’t set to go to sleep.

Tried it. Got nada. It just keeps showing my the dead iPod icon and the apple and that is it. I think I killed it for good. I went on message boards and other people said the same thing happened in -15 degree weather. I am such a dumbass.

Well, on the bright side, at least you’ll be sure not to get fined in NYC: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070207/tc_nm/newyork_ipod_dc_2

Jesus no, I just totally play with it while I’m driving so if anything I will be the one to hit the pedestrians. Totally safer.
