Having a miniature Fleetwood Mac obsession at the moment, but upon playing ‘Landslide’ for the umpteenth time this evening my iPod promptly stalled, then displayed this:

next to the Apple support link. The usual menu + centre button restart trick doesn’t work, and looking at the website indicates this means I need to take it in for repair. Bugger. I suppose it is two and a half years old, which given the daily use isn’t a bad age.
Incidentally, the level to which I have anthropomorphisised my iPod based on that logo is quite ridiculous. I actually feel sorry for it. I think this is a clever marketing strategy.

if you can’t hear/feel the hd start up… as it’s starting up whack it on the desk or something fairly solid (but smooth).
Mine started back up after that and has been working fine touch ipod.
Holy crap. That actually worked. Thanks, Ed! Shall see whether it’s still going in the morning, but nevertheless I reiterate: holy crap.
