What? No camera?
:-)

This iPod is just a stop-gap - apparently there's a new, full-blown video iPod coming out next year.

Also the rumour is that a pink, Madonna iPod nano is coming out next month.

Can I plug my iPod news site: http://www.ipod.org.uk. Thanks.

I have had my 30gig ipod video for less than a week and the screen cracked in my pocket with no other signs of damage. (sounds like the ipod nano) I have seen numerous people posting on the internet having the same problem. The apple store won't replace.

i had kinda the same problem my ipod has just been sitting in a dock and for no reason scratches have appeared over the screen and casing without even doing anything with it!!

You've had it less than a month and they wont replace it? It's not covered for even 30 days? I don't know how they can call themselves a reputable company. I strongly considered buying an ipod but after hearing about ipod not standing behind their products from countless people, I'm now looking elsewhere.

yea my ipod broke down and apple did replace it so hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha

same old, same old...new video ipod LCD screen breaks..just like the nano story and yep Apple and Best Buy says I must have dropped it. NO WAY. No replacement of it either by Apple or Best Buy...even with a service plan! Anyone interested in starting a class action suit? Both Apple & Best Buy knowningly sell faulty products...not good.

sons of bitches, my damn video screen broke aswell. anyone here have instructions on how to replace the screen yourself?

Even though I kept mine in the little leatheresque type matierial the screen scratched up really quickly. Then a week after I got it the screen dented in my pocket, so none of he screen information is visable.Not ideal for avideo ipod.
It costs £120 to replace the screen, which broke through no misuse or fault of my own.How is this acceptable!

The nature of an ipod means you carry it everywhere with you, surely it should be durable.
What a rip off!

My LCD on the ipod video is dead. I never dropped it. I sent my ipod for apple warranty service, they returned it without fixing it. Their tone is LCD failure is your problem.
Can anyone file a class action law suit for this?
I know in case of ipod nano this has been done and Apple now replaces defective unit on the warranty. I am sick of apple's warranty program.

I am looking to join a class action lawsuit on the LCD screen as well. MY 30GB iPod video screen developed the "oil slick" effect at 90 days old and apple won't repair or replace, says it's due to "consumer abuse" even though I took excellent care of it! I am so angry I can't even put it into words...

Nope, just stepped on mine. Sounds like "consumer abuse" to me. Still don't know how to replace it anyway...

Yeah,

Ive had my 30gb ipod video for 2 weeks when i got the "oil slick"

It isnt obvious when the backlight is on but when it is off and in light it can cover upto 3/4 of the screen.

Its annoying.

i´ve had mine for 5 months. this morning, i woke up and went to my pc to grab the headphones. then i took out my ipod, and it was broke. does the warranty covers broken screens.
oh! and what´s the "oil screen" that everyone is talking about?

I have experienced the same issue with my ipod video. I had it in my pocket while I was spraying off my driveway, and when I took it out to turn it off, my sceen was cracked with an oil slick. I went to the Apple store today expecting a full replacement, and they rudely told me it was my fault, and I must have put pressure on it some how. They would not replace it. I let them know that I was extremely dissapointed and that the product clearly is defective, and they took the attitude that its too bad. I have printed the complaints posted on this message board and I am taking it back in to show them that I am not alone with this.

well it seems everyone is having this problem but ill post it anyway to show how much apple is ripping everyone off with there bullsh*it warranty. I had my ipod for hardly 5 months since christmas. One day i put my ipod in a small pocket of my backpack and the ipod was in a case of its own. Simply walked to my buddys house, took it out and the screen was cracked. I was PISSED. And now apple tells me its my fault. No how bout u make a much more reliable product and if u cant do that then replace the dam thing when it F*cks up.

Yeah i had my ipod since christmas and at school today when i took it out the screen was all fucked up n it appeeared to be a crack in it that fucked the half of the screen up. i was reeally pissed off until my buddies said to send it to ipod and theyll return it. i was fine until i came on here and saw that they wont return it. im fucking pissed off at apple for not taking them back

i just ad the same problem yesterday, i went 4 a walk with my ipod video in its little case then tuk it out nd the screen was cracked! no idea wat happend iv only had it since christmas, apple wont do anything about it, im gona claim off the house insurance!

I am pisssed. My screen has been cracked for 6 months. Everything works great....the music still plays, i can still put songs on it...Its just that I cant see a damn thing..
The sad part about it is that I put it in a supposably "durable" case that I bought..and I dropped it ...and all of a sudden....cracked screen...damn case wasnt worth shit...Sure it saved the i pod from scratches...but it didnt help the screen one bit. At first u couldnt see half the screen...now it completely doesnt show a thing. i have tried talking to Apple...but all they will tell me is to buy a new i pod or try to fix it myself. Warranty or no warranty. All i know is that this makes no sense...and its total bull. So much for apple taking care of its customers!

Well i am going to do something about this, cause fuck if i did it! i took my ipod outta my bag which had been lying around all day, i was takin it out to charge it and the screen was f*ucked! apperntly i did it, but im not standing for that at all x

CRACKED SCREEN 2 WEEKS OLD had my ipod 30g 5th generation for two weeks and presto cracked screen after i charged it and control wheel all over the place and half of the left screen dissaperaed sent it to apple and there response not in warranty i said fix the other two faults with the unit there reply cant needs a new screen ( told them not my fucken problem )told them to replace the screen fix the two problems then take the screen out and put mine back in has gone to the next level of management now waiting for a reply within 2 days let you know how i go.

THIS FUCKING PEICE OF APPLE SHIT!!!! FUCK CRAPPLE!

ARGGH!! those fuckers ripped us off, and can burn in the fucking bowels of hell!!! my iPod got the "Oil Slick" and now i can only see 1/4 of my FUCKING SCREEN!!!!! OMFG!!!!
FUCK YOU APPLE!!!! FUCK YOU!

These Stupid People call themselves a company? My ipod nano is a little over 6 months old and the freakin screen broke. I went to the apple store and the guy looked at me and said sorry its not under warranty and walked away. They say its the greatest music playing device but it cant even withstand a few hours in a backpack! These people are complete idiotic jerks

i appear to have the "oil slick" problem and am very confused as to why this is, but ontop of that it wont even turn on . ive only had mine for as long as the xbox 360 release, and i only used it with the xbox360, it just sites ther so i can play my music through my games , thats all i use it for. I have the 30g video ipod.

i had the same problem, got my ipod just before xmas looked after it as much as you can, allways kept in case, never dropped, allways in pocket on its own etc. and after about 2 months the screen cracks in the time it took to put in my pocket and walk to my car(30 sec walk), phones up apple and they said they wont relase it as it was my own fault and should of looked after it better. also to top it all off, broughtit out of a catalogue and im still paying it of grrr

I have an Ipod 30gb, and same thing...piece of crap with the oil slick on the screen and apple will do nothing.

Sorry, I've had my video iPod for a year and its still fine, but I am clearly in a minority here!

I'm soooo pissed my ipod screen craked and I know I didn't drop it or set anything heavy on it so what's going on some one please help me!

well my ipod had decided that it doesent want to turn on anymore. ive done nothing to it, havent dropped it or anything and it just wont switch on.
im in the uk but i got it in the us and all the insurers say i need to have had purchased it over here, then to ahve had it for at the most, 6 months.ive had it for 7.
what should i do?

I got my Ipod nano at christmas and have been taking it everyday to school. today when i cane back 1/2 the screens cracked!! does anyone Know how long it will take to fix cause the music still works but i'm going on holiday in 3 weeks and want to take i even if the screens cracked if i have to pay for it does any one know how much it will cost to replace?

fuck them...i hav the same prob as everyone else....apple said i can try looking for an unauthorized apple store to replace my screen...but i cant find one! im so annoyed coz i bought the most expensive speakers too but i cant play any fucking music!!!

I got a 30GB Video Ipod from USA. I live in the UK and brought it back with me. 3 months after I bought it, the screen developed an oil slick. I sent it off for repair - Apple sent it back to me saying it was damaged by neglect. I DID NOT EVEN DROP IT!
They refuse to repair it. What should I do?

i havnt yet got an ipod but i want to no if i should still get one or if i should just get a psp

duh my ipod (got it second hand) seems to have decided to just screw up after a restore... maybe i need a new hard drive... thats gunna hurt the wallet

this counts as user abuse...

Apple warranty that doesn't give 365 days despite dending a brand new ipod.
This is my fourth mini in less than 2 years yet they will not give me a full 1 year as it is a "service" replacement. Can they do this. Class action speaks louder than words

We got a video Ipod w/ case protector for our teenage son 3 weeks ago. I accidentally knocked it off the table w/ my elbow & it fell on the kitchen floor. The screen is completely cracked & Apple won't cover it. I have made numerous calls & have had no luck. Less then 30 days old & no coverage. I cannot believe Apple would sell a product that is made for commuters & that it would be so fragile. It didn't even fall very far or hard! Unbelievable! We were thinking of purchasing an Apple computer, but this has changed our minds! They should sell it as a disposable product for less money! Of course they don't know of anyone who could fix it either. How convenient!

i had my ipod for maybe 3 weeks i had it in my pocket in loose shorts and the screen cracked i sent it to ipod they said user abuse cant fix it i was like thats gay cannon if u drop it and break it theyll send u a new one

i have had my ipod 4 months now and i put it in my back pocket 2 keep it safe, i forgot it was there and sat on it and now i cant see anything bt black marks! do u think it is fixable?

I've had my nano for 3 months and dropped it today, not from a great height or with any force, but the screen still cracked despite it being in a so called durable case! Was gutted to see that Apple will not replace / repair. Is their warranty actually worth anything at all? From reading the amount of disgruntled customers I see not, despite the fact that this is so obviously a design / quality issue. I called their so-called technical help to find out if I could get repaired - NO! Asked how much if I paid for it and they gave me a website in Texas and could not give me anyone here in the UK and told me to look around the internet!!
I am not impressed and can honestly say that I will never buy Apple again and will make sure I tell anyone who listens about my experience to dissuade others from making the same mistake by buying crap from a money grabbing corporation!

urgh, I'm pissed, my ipod broke too. Ipod video that is...I've had it for 2 months max and I take it out of my bag as usual and find the LCD screen cracked. Everything else works...so on the bright side it's like I have the world's largest ipod shuffle :/ URGH.

i used my christmas money to by my ipod so i savedup to get a case and never took it out and then i decided to clean and wen i pulled it out it was scratched as if it does it to itself and then i took out of my pocket and the screen was cracked. i was so pissed. i even went to futureshop and i purchased a 100 dollar service plan and they still said it was my fault. way to go apple u sell faulty products for outrageous prices

IS THEREE N E ONE HERE WHO WANTS TO GO IN ON A ACTION LAWSUIT!!fu**ck U APPLE!!

I have had my ipod video for about 5 months and the screen broke on me. The crazy thing was that I even kept in inside one of those RhinoSkin hard aluminum cases just so this wouldnt happen. I put it in my backpack before I went to class and then when I pulled it back out the screen was cracked. I dont exactly know how I need to go about trying to get apple to repair it, but from what I have been reading it is just a lost cause.

got home to day from school pulled out my ipod from my back pocket a guess what its screens totally fucked and now i dont have an ipod. fuck apple

I bought my grandson an Ipod 30gb 5th gen video and in 5 days the screen broke. I brought it back to Best Buy who said that it was broken by abuse but when I argued with the manager he told me too bad but they would not send it back to CrApple and it was my problem. Well after getting over my pissed off mental state I got on the internet , downloaded the manual for replacing the screen with great pictures, then got on Ebay and bought a brand new replacement screen for $36.00 US.
Screw Best Buy and Apple. I will never buy another Apple product again.

5th generation iPOD scroll wheel will not select different catogories. sent it to be repaired. I was denied because of 2 SUPERFICAL DENTS IN THE BACK. I called the corporiate office and spoke with "K...." he stated there is nothing that can be done. All I asked was for them to prove that those superfical dents that you have to hold the iPOD at eye level to see caused the scroll wheel button to not work. He stated if the dents where not there they would have replaced it. I am so ready for a class action lawsuit and currently looking for a lawyer.

can you pay to have the screen fixed? i dropped my ipod 60gb video and the screen is cracked.. can you pay to get it fixed because i doubt the warrenty will cover it

I bought an iPod 30GB in June from Amazon. It was a gift for my daughter. Just got back from a trip and she showed me that the screen now looks like it has died a death - only half is visible, the rest looks like something has blown. NO visible marks on the casing - she did not drop it/knock it or do anything else other than listen to music on it! This is the second iPod she has had problems with (the battery died on the first). It may be an iconic product but if my experience is anything to go by Apple's QA needs serious attention. Tried to get Amazon to help but they sent me to Apple's support line - someone in India who couldn't help. I managed to talk to the Apple store in Regent Street - apparently I need to make an appointment, go out of my way so that they can look at their broken product and decide if they will help - any bets on this? My other kids have iRivers - no problems at all and the interface is much better. What's all the fuss? Should consumers put up with poor product to be cool? Time to vote with our wallets?

FUCK APPLE

Yep - 60 gig video ipod - brought in New Zealand, 3 weeks of use before pulling it out of my pocket to find a cracked screen - same story - i was told it was my fault and to just buy a new one - like we're talking about a $5 toy here....well F**k u apple

i hate apple!!!!!!!!!!!

hey amanda go to ipod-lcd-repair.com (no www) they can fix the screen for like 80 bucks. seems like much, but other companies are charging like 120 or more, so its not 2 bad.

Put my ipod video in my bag after being at the gym... everything fine. Go home and took it out and would you adam and eve the screen has cracked. Spoke to apple adn as with everyone else... sorry nothing we can do mate!!! This is sh*t someone needs to do something

wtf

i had my ipod for less than a few weeks it was sitting on my bedside table and i went to grab my cell phone and it fell it was in a case and everything and now the screen is all scratched and from the looks of it i wont be able to get it fixed without it costing an arm and a leg so i think that if you want to get a class act together to sue apple we should do it..so if ur serious about it send an email to sw33tie2005@hotmail.com

I pulled out my nano and half the screen was gone. Bought a new one on ebay and replaced it but still have the same problem. Must be something other than the screen. Any ideas?

yha the same happend with my 30 gig vid ipod but is it only the 30 gigs? has anyone ever had a 60 gig get the crack in the screan?
if its only the 30 gigs then we could say that that ipod line is defective and get a recall of all of them

Hi

Guy's I have read about your posts an I feel really sad for all of you if you guys and gals don't mind and if your not gona do anything with your ipods give them to me please Cheers.

I cracked my screen, was my own fault! But Surely the ipod needs to work without the screen i thought so I took it out and plugged it in the computer to use it as a portable harddrive.. but the computer does not even find the ipod as a removable device!!
Has anyone had the same problem? in that case send me a mail!
cheers

I Pulled ma ipod out of ma pocket, and what do ya know da fuckin screen was cracked and ive only had it for like 4 months maybe less. it gets worse, it only works for like 3 mins and flicks off and it appears to hav an oil slick on da fuckin screen so i cant see a thing!! and i didnt even do anything to it!! GRRR!!ipod nano's suck!!

i like to test products

got my 80g ipod video about 10 days ago and the hold switch is bust. its just locked all the time so the buttons are unusable. can't reset or anything. it has been treat with kid gloves since i got it. screen ok but ipod useless. anyone else have this problem?

Apple is the biggest rip off in the history of the world. I wish i would've found a different mp3 to invest in. Apple can suck my balls cause they suck and i hate them.

i have a fourth gen. ipod that i got about 3 months ago and its great!
no complaints

CAN I BE MORE ANGRY???I DONT THINK SO!!i send my ipod away around 6 weeks ago!!30gb video bla bla bla as ive verified on the phone to a guy for half an hour!ipod is around 7 weeks inside warentee so it starts turning off and the jack for thte earphones doesnt work!!ok so thats fine send it away get it back no problem found!

Call up apple again and ask what the hell is going on?they explain everything to me turn out thee guy on the phone didnt write down half of the problemms i said!

Send it away again!specifically tell them what wrong send it back to me, no problem found! call again the fuckin idiot on the phone didnt take dwon the complete problem again!

Sending it away again and if its not fixed this time im warned that it will be out of warentee at this stage even though the problem has being ongoing for 7 weeks and apple know this!!what a shower of fucking incompetante dickheads and then they say the the earphone thing is not underwarentee!!

why dont you just buy a replacement screen off of ebay for like 20 bucks and fix it yourself? it isn't that hard

BEST BUY SUCKS APPLES D**K!!! i got the oil slick and its "ALL MY FAILT", C**k suckers. i have found a place that says they can fix it (http://ipod-lcd-repair.com/) ill post some thing ealse if they are worth any thing at all

My iPod nano screen got the oil slick thing going on even though i shelled out for the best quality leather & metal plated case! Had it in my pocket, and it was just like it when i pulled it out. I was super-pissed and vowed to never buy another iPod. It's neally xmas and i fell back into the spell and was considering buying the iPod video. All i can say: FUCK THAT. You guys have reminded me of how shit apple is. The microsoft zune will be loads better - i think it is worth waiting for quality merchandise rather than wasting money on a company which has turned into "the bad apple" of the mp3 player retail circuit.

I was going to get a 30gb video ipod but after reading all of your problems i am having 6th and 7th thoughts.maybe i should buy a zune instead

my mom left the I-pod turned on the whole night and it wont turn on anymore I tried to restart it again but it wont go I charged it for three hours and it still wont turn on please help me!

yo! i've got the same problem like everybody here!! Cracked screen!! and i don't know how its hapened!! i left ipod in the case i my pocket from coat.. and when i took it off i seen black thing in screen!! i send my ipod to Apple but they send me back!!! AND I'M SURE IT WASN'T MY FAULT!!! NOW I MUST BUY NEW LCD SCREEN!!! FUUCK

Curious question to all those who own a 30gig ipod video. I noticed the other day that for some reason when I played my music under songs, the numbers above the song title didn’t display the total of number of songs that I have in my Itune’s library. So I looked into the albums list on the ipod, and for some reason there were songs missing. Why is this? And how can I get all the songs from my itune’s library onto my ipod? Note: my Ipod still has 25-27gb left so it’s nowhere near full.

seriously guys and girls, im in my 1st year at law school and they cant do this to u.All those that want to get to gether to sue then contact each other. Apple will lose and have to pay ur fees anyway.Do it now!!!

Ipod's STINK mine keeps breaking.

I've had mine about two months with no problems. I've had a few glitches in the software but nothing that hasn't reset itself I guess... I'd like to know though, did any of you take into consideration the temperature you were in at the time of the screen cracks? Maybe its from hotter or colder temps, and maybe we can find a way to maybe help prevent the problem for some of us?

I can assure you, if mine does fail, that I will be contacting as many people as possible for a class action suit.

Thanks.

Same thing happened with my sons Ipod Video only 2 months old contacted apple they didn't want to know unless I agreed to pay a £35.00 fee for them just to look at it. I've been in contact with BBC Watchdog programme think all you should do the same

i just got my new 30GB ipod video for christmas from my parents and i never mishandle it. i bring it around with me everywhere in my pocketbook cuz i listen to it practically 24/7. i was in school today and i was listening to it till 2nd period. i open up my pocket book 7th period to find that the screen was cracked internally right down the middle! the light wont turn off and it wont play my music! what am i supposed to tell my parents now! if i cant get it replaced or repaired, then it was a total waste of a chrsitmas present. i havent even had it for 2 months yet and this happens. this sucks so bad.

My daughter saved up her hard earned money from two jobs to purchase this piece of apple IPod crap. Screen busted after 3 months and believe me she babied this thing! Never again! She's looking into other products now and Best Buy would do nothing for her either!

Just let you know the creative Zen video is no better, my screen cracked with no abuse and their customer service is the same as Apple. "tuff luck "

My 18 year old son saved up from his Saturday job to get himself one of the new Ipod videos. He has had it for precisely 6 days. Treats it like a baby, handles it very carefully. Took it out of its holder today, hasn't been dropped, bashed, banged, no marks on it or evidence of any impact - the internal screen is cracked. To say he is p**ssed off is an understatement. He rang apple, they said go back to the dealer... in other words .. not our problem, sod off...Thanks Crapple...

I dropped my ipod and the screen crcked straight away. Now if i pay 270 for the damn thing i should imagine that if i drop it once it would be in good working order... Thyen to try and make somebody pay the cost of another ipod just to fix it is clearly taking the pi*s.

I haven't taken mine in yet but gathering from what everyone is saying they don;t give a crap about this problem and we're the ones at loss.. after spending so much with apple aswell.

I love the way that on the Ipod advert all these 'cool dudes' are jumping around shaking their a**sses and so presumably you SHOULD expect to be able to at least WALK AROUND WITH ONE IN YOUR SODDING POCKET without the bloody thing busting. Clearly they are just NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE if they can just break like that!! Although my son didn't bash his, they SHOULD withstand knocks, they are supposed to be used on the MOVE, that's the bloody point of them....

ya ive got a qeustion my screen is broke on my 30g and i cant see shit on it can they replace the screen if i buy a new screen and how much does it cost to do something like that

same happened to me today, went to listen 2 music and it was cracked right across the screen. Its only 4 months old!! Apple said it should of been in my jean pocket because of pressure but in the manual or anywhere else does it say keep away from tight areas and even on thier adverts, the ppl on there have the ipods in thier pockets dancing around. Its all crap because its to expensive for them 2 repair

Ive got an 80g i pod tha i got at x-mas time & now i cant turn the damn thing off. does anyone know if there is a recall on these things?

For all of does that the 80 gig ipod jams hold down select and play at the same time until ur apple sign comes on then after try and restart it should work. And for the lcd's go buy them off ebay.

I just bought my ipod video 80 gb last week and purchased a protective arm band for it. I have been using it with no problem and then today I paused a song to answer the phone and now it will not turn on. Does anyone know how to turn it ON? This is the second time it actually happend the first time I thought the battery might be dead then I plugged it into computer and started right up. NOW IT DOESN'T TURN ON AT ALL AND MY PC DOES NOT EVEN MAKE SOUND WHEN YOU CONNECT USB DEVICE.

same shit happened to me the other week, after less than a week of having my new ipod video. i'm so frustrated and pissed off. i'm not sure if they'll replace it but i'm on my way to an apple store soon to find out. if they don't i'm seriously considering lodging some kind of complaint, or maybe starting a petition. anyone intersted then email me at matt_lazenby@hotmail.com

just bought my video ipod a month ago, and took it out of my pocket and it has cracked. did not drop it or anything...pretty pissed.
Anyone know how to get this replaced? I will try apple store, but im assuming they will just tell me to screw off.

I've had my Ipod video 30G since 5/30/06... Payed the money for the warranty too! Ended up costing my family and I $360.00. I babied this thing for a year now, making sure nothing happened to it. Always made sure it wasn't going to fall off or was always plugged in right and everything. I also probably spent another $300 in accessories for the thing! Well, about a week ago, I had my Ipod in its $30 case, in my loose pants (Strike me if I wear tight girl pants) And was listening to music. About an hour later I go to change the song, and I realized I got a crack down my screen. Thought it was alright, a little crack won't be too bad, but then a day went by and half my screen is black and I can't functionally use my Ipod, especially for video... Since... Last time I checked, you can't watch video without a screen that works! So today I went down to Best Buy, confident that they'll replace my screen because of the warranty, but instantly turned down because of neglect. Let's recap: I babied this thing. I wasn't like those people in the commercials jumping around and having the cord and thing fly around. Versatile? How about seeing a person use the arm band for when they want to jog, if that thing drops when they're doing a good run, that thing won't last, especially in the society we live in where beneath us is usually pavement or cement. But another thing, that just caught me: How about watching free "Strongbad" Podcasts given by iTunes? Ever watch the end? Well, as the cartoon comedian does at the end: Looks around and starts beating on the screen, as if trying to get out, then cracks the screen and says: "Wow, I hope you got the extended warranty." Subliminally, this is neglect as well as false advertisement for getting a repair on the screen for it being broken. I will send an E-Mail stating the condition of my own Ipod, the service I received from Best Buy... The *neglect* on their behalf to their customers, this website feed which clearly has a lot of feedback from other customers, and stated that we will be forced to perform a Class Action Suit against them if they do not meet to their customer's demands.

If Apple does not comply and follow through with this, we WILL have a Class Action Suit. This has gone on long enough.

Respectfully Submitted,

Nicholas

Oh by the way guys, Apple doesn't support "Accidental Damages"... But support the free fixes on any Nanos that may have a crack in the screen, as said in this article: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20050927-5358.html
Is it just because it's a smaller screen and people don't need to enjoy looking at is as much, or because it costs less against the company to fix? Seriously, who would PURPOSELY break an IPOD, call to Apple in tears and say "I broke my IPOD... I was holding it in my hands ever so delicately, and it broke"... In response from them "Tough luck. If you break it, it's your 30/60/80 gigs you can't use to its full potential again. Suckers."

... Won't cover accidental... Do I need to go on or do you catch my drift?

... But they're taking in nanos and fixing their screens... What's a faulty Vender to a consumer anyway?

Okay so its clear that there is an issue with cracking. I just got an 80gb and it appeared to be scratched then suddenly it was a deep crack. I scheduled to go into Apple but it looks as if they wont do a thing. So basically where can I go from here? Will it still have a long life and function okay with a crack coming from the dial on the front screen?

Okay, so seriously, to fix your screen, Apple won't cover it, so I bought a warranty for nothing. I can buy a replacement screen for about as much for a cheaper mp3 player (about $80)... Having been done so either I do it myself or send it to a technician, paying more on labor to do that... Oh, and voiding the warranty that I bought on it... I want my money back...

Hi all, you can get a replacement screen from eBay for less than $20.
Also provided are instructions to replace them.

I have a slightly diff problem though... My Ipod is no longer in warranty and it does not do anything! If I charge it, nothing happens, if I plug it in to the computer, it is not recognised.

Any ideas?

how do i send my video ipod in to see wats wrong with it? when i put it on itunes it keeps saying that it is curupted. so how do u fix it?

I have a 30gb Ipod which has been sitting on my desk, never moved, never given any cause to be damaged, still in case.
Crack developed overnight across the screen.
So I contacted Curries who I purchased it from to find out what they would require for an exchange.
Well...forget it, even though it is still on warranty.."they dont regard it as a fault" Passed me onto a number, who told me the same thing..and passed me to apple..and all I got was a long hold on a premium rate number!

FOR THOSE IN THE UK: I don't know if this will work, but try either Trading Standards, Citizens Advice Bureaux or WHICH, especially WHICH, might get you somewhere. Although I'm an Apple Fan myself, I think if a company isn't prepared to even listen, you need to chew their balls off, may be Mr Jobs might behave a little differently with out his balls. I'm having trouble with Leopard at the moment, got it two hours early great and then the blood thing would not install and trying to get a replacement, if your not chewing on their ghoulies 24/7, they let you slide. If you want to sue them, find a friendly tabloid, get a petition together and then sue the bastards. Archos, although somewhat heavier is a pretty good alternative to apple, especially the Archos+, not as dainty but more robust, the MP4 units record satellite direct of the tuner with DVR station, have WiFi, YouTube, Browser, large HDDs, quality screens, Bigger Screens, replaceable batteries and quite a few other tit bits. Support the opposition and then people like Apple have to listen. Good luck to all!

i sat on mine so it broke
