I would like to lodge a complaint, to Apple, the company !! I just believe when you buy something from a big corporation they should appreciate your business. And when you buy something it should last longer than a few months, especially when the item was not cheap !!!
I got a "Nano" ipod a few months back but did not even load music on it for months because we still had dial-up internet service and you know that it would take a year to upload a single song on dial-up !!!
But when I did load music to her, I just loved it !! The music was all songs I love and I used it at work on days I didn't have hearings, to block out my fellow employees and their way too loud conversations. (I know you're surprised I think someone else is loud, me the queen of loud !!) Trust me on this one, I know way too much about some of the people I work near !! I even used it in the car using my "monster cable" and the auxillary hook-up !!! I love having my own mix of rock, country, oldies and newbies !!
It has broken my heart that one day she just died... yeah she just refused to come on at all. I thought she had just not charged but I tried charging it again and again to no avail... :(... alas no ipod for me. She just refuses to play one more song...
So to the compliant part, I didn't buy my ipod, Glenn did at Circuit City a long time before I was able to use it. Alas no receipt and a company who is going out of business, means no replacement. So I called the Apple store in Fashion Fair to see where they are located to see if the could just give her the once over??? Maybe it's something simple, I thought, and there will be some way cool teenager working there who will just look at her and fix her with a smile?? okay I do wear rose colored glasses !! So when I called the woman who answered stated that to have anyone look at your ipod you have to make an appointment !! An appoinment ??? That implies money would be changing hands, of which I have none to spare on my ipod !!! So she burst my bubble about the way cool teenager just fixing it in a flash, apparently they must have a lot of "nano's" going bad if you need an appointment !!!
So I say wake up Apple if you want people to buy your product in this uncertain economic climate, you need to produce a product that will play for longer than a few months !!! Boy am I mad !!! LOL

Bring it over and let our cool teenagers (and some older than teens) look at it. you don't even need an appointment! And if you bring it at the right time...there might be food involved! :)
So what time is that? Ha you can't mention food to me unless you mean it !! It's sort of like love for most people !! LOL
Thank You to the way coolest teenager I know for fixing my ipod !!! Who wishes to remain nameless !!!
May I just say, that I hate the idea of buying a 'warrenty' on a brand new product. Why doesn't it come with a FREE warrenty? They don't build things like they used to!!!!!!! (Extra exclamation points just for you!!!!!)
So it's fixed? If so don't count on it being fixed for long. Unfortunately it will die eventually. It may come in and out for a while, but it is a slow death. My husband and at least 3 nieces and nephews have had thier ipods die a slow death. Now they are all on thier second ipod. I think it is a conspiracy! They get you hooked for a short time. Then it dies, and you can't live without another one! Someone at Apple is making way too much money!
I believe everyone should have to sign their work !!!! Then possibly they would do a better job??? Thanks for the exclamation points !!! lol I do love them, cuz I type like I talk !! haha I believe it is a conspiracy too cuz I am hooked, sad isn't it...
Yeah. that would make me upset too.
You got it fixed? yea! I hope it lasts for a good while.. I guess I missed your call. Sorry.. Just crazily busy and moving.. We will connect soon.I promise :) Love ya..
Hey Robin,
The appointments are free! The Apple Store is usually crazy busy and the appointment deal has worked for me. I've had my phone and computer "fixed" and one of my boys had an iPod and a phone "fixed" all for FREE!
If it gives you trouble again call in and make an appt. it isn't bad at all. :)
I got an ipod for Christmas and am just learning how to down load music...it is taking me forever...please don't tell me it is going to break:(
Okay it's fixed and I am embarassed to say it took my super cool friend just 2 seconds to fix it !!!! Thanks Kristi for the info about Apple cuz I will not hesitate to make the appoinment in the future !! I love my ipod that is probably wrong, huh? But it does mkae my days easier on the job !!!
I'm so glad it's fixed! I love my i pods ( yes I have 2, long story, 1 is for music and one for audio books)! Also good to know about Apple fixing them, thanks.
I also learned today that you don't even have to bring the receipt cuz Apple can download when it was bought right in the store from the ipod it's self? Who knew?? And my new favorite gift is an itunes card !! Which I got from Hill at Christmas !!!!
