Bad luck or Bad I-Pod's?????

[fiona]

My daughter's third one has just frozen - which is what happened to the last 2. I say frozen, you can hear something whirring trying to happen, but nothing does.

While we were in the Apple Store there were other people coming in with the same problem - this is when the second one was being resolved. So we are off next week to see if they can resolve it.

Mine works fine, I use it for about 40 minutes a day, my elder daughter's one is also fine - she uses hers less than me. The one that has gone wrong is used for a couple of hours every day - and sometimes even longer. My daughters have the large one, I have the medium one - you can see I have the terminology at the tip of my fingers!

My little boy has a our first ever ipod, it was bought as soon as they came out in the UK, its been handed down and is used everyday and still going strong, daughter has a 2nd gen ipod and it is also used constantly, mine is a 4th generation and I use it in my car everyday with no probs, my older boys have 3rd gen ipods and theirs are used for hours everyday at Uni and not probs, hubby has 2 ipods and his are fine, and we have bought 3 new video ipods for Xmas so fingers crossed they will all be fine too[msnwink]

My Mini plays up sometimes, it locked out/frooze at the start of a long journey recently and I then had to wait for the battery to run out and be recharged before it worked again. I play mine once in a blue moon but it is only about 3 months old, so I hope it is not the start of things to come. You are not alone Caroline there are huge forums out there with people who have had problems!

There are also many, many more very happy customers who are delighted with their iPod's (me included) [msnwink]

John I agree and I am a massive fan of Steve Jobs but as you probably know there are many many people who have had problems, but probably more who have not, just letting Caroline know she is not the only unlucky one. Has Apple not acknowledged there are some problems?

I'm not sure but when you are selling the HUGE volumes of product Apple does, with the best will in the world there are going to be a few that have problems. I do know it's very much the minority but as usual it's those with problens who are very vocal with those who are delighted with the product who do not feel the need to speak up.

Not sure which catergory I fall into then, as I am vocal about the problems that I had, and also Vocal about how good my new MP3 pLayer is.

I'm not sure it really matters - I was just trying to make a point that there are many, many more happy Apple customers than unhappy ones [msnwink]

If you are happy with your new MP3 player then that's great too [msnsmile].

My eldest son has an Ipod mini and he has been delighted with it, it never seems to be far from his ear, he must have had many times his monies worth already.[msnsmile2]
