So now I’m finally enjoying the pristine coupling og iTunes and iPod – a match made in heaven – BUT… it’s actually my 4th iPod, and here goes:

• Got the 4th Generation iPod 20GB Color (present)
• Hooked up to PC – iPod Updater wants to PC format, which (of course – that’s Murphy’s Law) fails, ending with a “Disk write error”
• iPod now shows me the URL to Apple’s iPod support site (neat feature, actually)
• On the site I go through EVERYTHING to try fixing it, but to no avail.
• Support ticket creation and waiting for UPS to arrive with an empty box for sending the poor thing to service.
• Waiting – now the short version(s):
• The iPod I get back from repair won’t turn on because the clickwheel doesn’t respond. Further more the battery looses power alarmingly fast.
• More waiting for UPS
• 3rd iPod arrives – I actually manage to get music from iTunes onto the iPod and listen to some of it. But the battery can’t hold a full charge overnight – I have to set the Date & time every day, so…
• UPS…
• 4th iPod arrives and it’s all OK. Thank you!
