iTunes/iPod...

[TH]

Can someone help! My iPod touch's screen is not turning on even though it was like 5 minutes ago and in itunes it's asking me to restore it, I have no idea why it's doing this now because like I mentioned, it was working perfectly about 10 minutes ago.

Are there any plans to bring out a version of the touch with over 80GB storage? My 80gb classic is all but full and I'd like a touch but the 32gb storage is too small

I had that problem too, although it never asked me to restore it. 3 days later I tried to charge it, and it miraculously turned on again. You could try to push both the Home button and the button that powers your Touch on simultaneously.

I'm suspecting the update (3.0), it never did that kind of thing before that.

@Sully: I wonder how much they would charge for that - I nearly slipped into a coma when I saw the price for my 32GB.

I've had two pairs of earphones since buying my iPod touch. One was the standard iPod pair and the others were some £18 ones from HMV that I forget the name of, anyway, the left earphone has died on both of them. Could this be a coincidence or a problem with the iPod? I don't want to drop decent monies on another pair knowing they'll just die in a couple of months, but I'm going to have to buy something because I can hear old people on the bus moan.

You only use in-ear earphones? I had a pair of those Sony headphones from Argos and the quality was good but just a nuisance to bring along with you. I have considered getting these:



As worn by nearly every sports star on the planet. They are £250 though.

I'd go for these, great value and decent quality.

Ah I restored it so I've had to put all my music back on which annoyed me very much, it's like the 4th time I've had to put my music back on and it was the 2.2.1 firmware, I haven't bought 3.0 yet.

I've never liked headphones. I look ridiculous enough as it is. Plus I wouldn't want to ruin my curls.

Those earphones look like a good bet though, cheers.

The left side has died on all of mine, including my Sennheiser on Friday. I was pissed off, because I only had them for about five or six months. The casing around the plug wasn't that good and came loose pretty quickly. I was considering super glue on it, to protect the wiring, but never got round to it.

The longest lasting earphones I had (for use on the iPod) was one by Skullcandy. It only cost about £12 from Play.com. Compared to the brilliant sound of the Sennheiser, the bass was too deep. I've purchased a cheaper Sennheiser, although, still not so cheap, which also sounds excellent. There are cheaper Sennheisers around, but I have to have in-line volume control, which costs a little more.

I blame your left ear. Probably best getting it removed.

New iPod Touch 64gb. I'm tempted. But it's 300 squid :/

[Hunter]

£300? No thanks.

You can just buy two 30GB iPod Videos for about £180 and you'll have £120 or so left over. £300 is ridiculous mate, really.

[Miggy]

Interesting Idea.

Go to heathrow airport and buy an archos 5, they seem to put 120gb versions in 60gb boxes and sell them for £170. Well, thats they did for me anyway

[Miggy]

Interesting but I doubt I'd have such luck.

Only time I've been anywhere near as lucky as that is when I got a double whopper when I ordered a standard.

Miggy, I know you'll be getting the Touch. A sexy mp3 player for a sexy MVP playa. Right?
