iPod question

[indiana_j]

A few days ago, I noticed a small black line on the screen of my iPod.  It wasn't big so I ignored it - now, though, it runs from one side to the other and seems to be collecting friends.  Anyone know if that's fixable?

Fantastic - a lot of them ended up having to send theirs in for repairs and got new ones instead of being repaired. Of course, that's with a warranty which I don't have anymore.

Time to save up for a new one, I suppose.

If you don't need an actual ipod, there are lots of good deals out there.

Sadly, most of my songs are from iTunes and they only recently started selling them without the coding to make them playable on other devices.

I know you're limited to ipods for most of your library, but there's a very good $15 player on woot.com today and I thought of you.

get an apple care kit. They're 30 bucks about, buy it, stick it on there, then in about a week call them and ask about your screen. If anything, it'll be like the time I static fried my ipod and I had one that I'd never activated. I activated it, called in, they sent me a box to send in my ipod, and when they figured out I'd totaled it, they sent me a new one.

When they sent you a new one, did you have a warranty? I purchased mine refurbished about a year/two years ago, no warranty. Hrm.

This is what I used. http://www.apple.com/support/products/applecareipod.html

Seconding the Apple Care Kit - although given recent price drops, upgrading your iPod might not be a bad idea. iPods are still hands-down THE best portable digital music player on the market when it comes to support.

Also take advantage of in-store warranties if you still have them. I got my 1st gen iPod Shuffle replaced twice by Best Buy in the first year, once when it got fried due to a power surge and once when someone who shall not be named but sounds a lot like "Zernadette" put it through the washing machine...

I think I learned that Woot is awesome but maybe not for electronics. XD It hasn't been that long since I got this thing. I'll take a look at the Apple Care Kit and see if I can apply it to mine. If not, time to save up.

While I like my 30g one, I haven't even broken 2k, yet. So something a bit smaller until I start racking up the songs might be more cost effective.

I've got a great program called Roxio Studio 9, if you want, burn all your music onto a data disc, bring it with you when you come visit next month, and my program can convert all itunes songs into mp3s. Itunes has it in m4p format. That's what I do with my songs. Now are you have problems listening or just seeing the screen? Cause if you can still use it, you could always ask for a new one for Christmas. That way you don't have to pay for it :) You can get the ipod nano the one mom and I have, I've got an 8 GB, I believe there's also a 16GB too.
