Rating:  - Apple products can be disappointing
This is the second one of these I have bought.. and both have shut down on me. I have wasted over $600 on these Ipods as well as another $100+ to repair one of them. They are great for storing mass amounts of music... but they are very tempermental, and seem to breakdown unexpectedly and for no reason at all (i never dropped them/ no water damage/ hardly any scratches). It's as if these were put on some sort of timer to shut down on you after a while, so that you HAVE to go out and buy another. I really love the idea of an ipod.. but when I buy one, I'd hope that it would last me a LONG time cosidering how much they cost. But they fail on you as easily as any disposable item you can buy... and quite frankly, its too much money to spend on something that lasts no longer than a plastic fork.

Mine broke after just over a year. No warrantee. I brought it to an Apple store, they checked it and told me to through it away. They wanted to charge me $350 to fix it or offered to sell me a brand new one for $300. Guess which option I selected? Just make sure you have backed up all your music!!!

I have had this ipod since a few months after launch. It worked very well, but recently it has become completely unusable. I have had problems with it in the past although luckily I had the hardware fix-it 2 year program with Best Buy. I usually don't buy into those gimmicks but I'm glad I did n this case. The hard drive failed and they were able to fix it. Now I have been having severe click wheel problems. For months I have had problems with the scrolling function and have to do special maneuvers with the wheel and can get it to scroll for very short periods of time. Recently the click wheel will not even click, the buttons will not function. So basically I have a shiny white box with a hard drive in it that can't be used the way it was supposed to. Sadly my extended warranty from Best Buy has expired so I cannot get it fixed. Guess I'll have to save up and buy another iPod but I will be waiting till the 6th generation comes out.

I got mine for a Xmas present 2 years ago. Within 6 months it acted up, making me do the ridiculous R method of resetting it over and again. Itunes refuses to recognize it and now it tells me that I have a corrupted iPod--no kidding! At the moment, it is sitting on my desk like a dead bug on its back, frozen. Save yourself years of aggravation, listen to those of us who have had this for over a year...caveat emptor.

I got it new about 2 years ago. I bought it from Apple's Refurb site, and when it arrived, it showed the sad iPod icon. I took it to Apple, they said it needed a new hard drive!!!! Then the clickwheel went on it, which makes it so it won't always respond. Then the hold switch won't lock on it, and then all the problems stopped for a while. Then 5 months later, it wouldn't even turn on, and then only the backlight would show, and there was nothing on the screen. When the warranty was up, it died on that day. Now it sits in it's box on my desk. Don't buy this iPod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
