wtf
so my wife's ipod - just over a year old now - gets that folder with the warning icon on it..and it sounds like teh HD is making clicks. Updater and restore not working, so we take it in to the apple store where they tell us, because it is out of warranty, that it will cost $250 to fix
WTF?
FUCK YOU APPLE

that sucks dude.
isn't there anywhere else you can bring it to get fixed? since apple is always overcharging for all their shit. (like the battery replacement for example)

4g? just browse e-bay for a replacement drive.
no need to bash apple, shit happens man.

if you're convinced at some point it's totally frapped and you're going to toss the drive. do this first. i bought a $70 "for parts" ipod off ebay and it powered up but gave me the folder icon as well. i opened it up and unplugged the drive, then carefully opened the drive housing and saw that the hd arm was stuck. i popped it back, put it all back together and it's has been working like a charm since. good luck.

no - there is a need to bash apple here - $250 just because it is out of warranty? fuck that...what kind of customer service is " yeah well it will cost $250 to get it fixed so you might as well buy a new nano or something"
It's going to be a cold dark day in hell before I buy anything apple again

Whenever something breaks for me, I just go buy a new one and put the broken one in the new packaging and return it with the reciept... They can't argue with that.

(Feb 4 06, 17:45)They can when it's a scratched up dirty X-box that doesn't work and a serial number that doesn't match the one on the box and was allegedly bought "2 days ago". Guy tried that when I worked at an electronics store at the mall.

And everyone always says the extended warranty they try and sell you is a sham.

I don't buy Apple products. I almost bought an iPod, but found that it's much cheaper to buy a different brand (still a good one though). But good luck with that one.

Plastic wheels and cogs in stead of metal so they run out quicker?
Fooks that all about! Fook them and this so called Brand Loyalty grrrrrr

Awesome...we'll have to head up the hill with y'all to test it out soon.

I had my 3g ipod for almost 4 years before it gave out. they didn't even offer an extended warranty when i picked it up. its just the luck of the draw, it could have happened to anyone with anything.

(Feb 4 06, 18:08)HAHAHA an Xbox was the last thing I returned in this way. I actually bought a broken one from a police auction for $15, then bought a new one at Costco, switched it up, and voila, new Xbox.

so let me get this straight: you bought an item, that clearly says 1 year warranty. pretty standard. then they offer to sell you, for $49, an extended warranty, which you have a year to purchase, and you didnt do it. so now it breaks, and you get mad cause they wont exchange it for you and its out of warranty. sorry, no one to blame but yourself. take responsibility.
