iPod Freeze - addendum

I made a msitake - the 40Gb iPod I have is a "Click Wheel" model, not a "Touch Wheel". Fortunately I'm not the only one out there who found the Apple support instructions misleading.

Just glad it's back and working :-)

iPod Freeze

My 40Gb iPod froze during a sync to iTunes. It's only 3 months old.

Grrr. So I try the documented Apple procedure for reboot - Toggle HOLD, then hold down MENU and PLAY/PAUSE for up to 10 seconds.

Problem is, the iPod stays frozen.

So now for the undocumented reboot procedure, via here thanks to Dan - the resident Apple guru - toggle HOLD, then hold down MENU and MIDDLE BUTTON.

So now to cancel that help desk call at Apple, and recharge, since the iPod has been on for the last 4 hours.

Have you registered for LCA2005 yet?

Have you registered to attend Australia's number #1 Linux and Open Source conference Linux.Conf.Au 2005 yet?

If not, you should do so NOW. Why? I'll give you 5 reasons:

1) There's only 2 days left for early-bird registration and you save AUD 230 on professional registration that way;

2) Rumour has it that the conference is well over 1/2 full already (filling faster than previous years);

3) There's only 11 weeks to go until it starts;

4) Andrew Morton, Robert Love, Eben Moglen, Ted T'so, Keith Packard and Bdale Garbee are all coming; and

5) Linux.Conf.Au will not only make your brain melt from overload, it's an aweful lot of FUN!

There is only one response possible - register now! :-)
