here's how my day went. walked around campus all morning, jammin to my ipod. go to our mac lab to do some work. while I was sitting there, my ipod decided to play music really jerky for about 5 minutes. the screen sat frozen between the current song, and the previous song it played. I yell and scream and walk to another lab to get a firewire cable to reset it. thinking it will all be fine after that, I find that my ipod is now stuck at the apple logo after plugging it in to the firewire port on a mac. after I reset it again, same thing happens. on the third time, I get a picture of a folder with a caution sign (triangle with ! in it)...the ipod finally goes into firewire disk mode after reseting it again and then holding down the prev/next buttons when the apple logo appears
of course, it's not actually firewire disk mode. the drive doesn't mount on the desktop...not on this mac (where it has mounted before) or on the ibook behind me running OS X. so what's wrong with it now? the damn ipod is BURNING my hand (thankfully I put it on the table after that). it's unplugged, and has been for about 15 minutes, and it has yet to turn itself off. it just sits there with the apple logo and spins the hard drive.
I've also gotten a big ass battery icon with the caution sign on it. I don't know what all this means besides it's flippin jacked as hell, but has anyone else had a similar problem?
should I take it back to compusa and get them to replace it since it's under warranty from them? I was really looking forward to listening to it during class instead of falling asleep. oh well.
