They fixed my iPod!!

[crandc]

So last night I'm listening to music at bedtime per usual. One minute sound, then nothing. My home computer, work computer, and Bose iPod connector all failed to recognize the device. I work as a tech writer and listen to it all day as well as on the train. And I bought it preloaded with 100 classical pieces, not tunes, full symphonies, which would cost a fortune to replace.

Although I was past 90 days since I never called in my 90 days period the man said he'd give me one free consult. Took a while to explain to him it was really really dead and nothing happened when I pushed menu. Turns out it somehow went into sleep mode, god knows why. So now it's working.

Today just got better.

Rachmaninov Symphony #2 playing.

Sounds like you need to back that stuff up to a computer/CD-R - because it will fail again, sooner or later. Gizmos fail. Backups limit the cost to hardware...

Everything I added since is backed up but not the original. That is being taken care of today.

Amend: I tried. The instructions said to click device, go to Summary, then Encrypt Backups. There is no Encrypt Backups in Summary.

Perfect!

I just purchased an external hd which I plan to move all my music to from my laptop's hd.

Wish I could help, but I do not own an iPod. The wife does, but I doubt she will know as well. I have been using a Sansa Clip forever for this exact reason. I find Apple's approach to data interchange very hard to deal with.

Try to find some iPod gurus to help you.

Was he able to save any of the 2Pac I sent you? Now that would be sad if you lost that!

Had an iPod since they came out. No problems. For the past 4 years though, I've been using the shuffle. The tiny ones that hold about 600 songs. I love them. I have about 50 600 song playlists on my home computer and just switch 'em up whenever I won't to.

If you iPod ever freezes or acts funky, simply hot the "Menu" and center button at the same time for five-seconds. This will reset the iPod (basically like restarting your computer). Don't worry, your songs will still be there.

Exactly what the guy on the phone instructed.

I bought it with a bunch of stuff preloaded. I wonder if the radio station that sold them programmed so that stuff can't be copied. So that 5 people could not split the cost of one iPod and copy the music.

I'll try copying to a flash drive tomorrow, haven't got one with me. Thanks for all the info.

HCP, I never got the Tupac you sent me.

I can see crandc rollin' to Tupac!

Probably, since she's a Californian.

It's spelled Torrance, btw.

Right.

Torrents of rain? Or Torrance, CA?

No, torrent.

Torrent singular does not ring a bell. Why?
