hey all, i am having a bit of trouble with my iPod.

I recently had it plugged in, charging, whilst on my Mac Pro. I then booted up Windows and iTunes opened by default. After declining to restore etc, I let it charge and then booted in Leopard again. I then unplugged the iPod.

Fast forward a few days and I plug it in again, whilst in Leopard, and I am greeted by a message that the iPod is corrupted. Luckily I was planning a cull of my music on both the Mac and the iPod, so I wasn't too heartbroken. I restored, and filled it up again. Please note, the iPod was no trouble at all after taking it out after it had been plugged in whilst Vista was running.

Again, I booted into Vista with iPod plugged in. This time I made sure iTunes did not open. Did what I needed, and went back into Leopard. All seemed fine, even in iTunes, and I took it out again, and listened away the next day.

Just now I have plugged it in in Leopard, only to be greeted by the same message as before. My iPod is corrupted. I have just restored it again.

Why it does this I do not know. I have just checked my warranty, and I have 6 months left. It was bought from competitor. Who do I go through to get it fixed (if it is a problem)

When I had my Video back a few years, I often used it in both Windows and Leopard and had no problems :confused:
 
Take it to a local Apple store, or contact the "competitor" about the issue.

It sounds like the drive is dying, so I'd go straight to Apple and get it swapped as it's in warranty :)
 
Ring them first to arrange an appointment with a genius.

It goes off the serial number, but a call will explain all :)
 
Good stuff. Look's like I'll be going to Manchester.

Likelihood of them swapping it there and then? If it's not done there and then, I may wait until my iPhone arrives.

Also, it's been heavily scratched since I bought it, and I have dropped it a few times. This won't affect it will it? Nothing happened when I did it, 3 months or so ago.
