    Kudos to Apple. Take two.

    For reasons that evade me, I cannot have access/post to the previous topic about the same subject. Anyway, just letting othes know that I received a replacement iPod. Not a 4G, nor a 6G, but an 8G. process took around two months but was well worth it.

    its a fun little thing ...I made a velcro wristband and wear it like a watch* when bike riding .and run the cord up my sleeve, keeping everything dry...can change volume with gloves on,,,through my jacket arm.

    if you got the same as I did a month ago, its 6th generation , 8gb memory.

    *there's like 18 different watch faces to choose from

    the only downer is that they tossed it loose into a too big 1st gen box , like they didn't care. ...it's so light that it could bounce around all day in that box with no damage tho.

    PLSE LETS NOT DERAIL THIS THREAD WITH APPLE TESTIMONIALS OR RANTS.... again.

    Hmmm... Now I get it. That's mostly why the original thread was moved to a section I couldn't access. Most likely the purgatory of derailed threads.

    For those of you who missed the original thread. There was a class action against Apple (which they lost) in regard of the 1st generation 1gb Nano because some batteries were deffective and would die within 18 months. There was a worlwide recall for that 5 year old device. In exchange, participants could have a brand new and improved Nano. I got the 8gb unit while earlier claimants got the 4gb one. I am happy with mine. Gave it to my girlfriend, she will love the radio.

    The above statements confuse me. How honest can we be with each other and not be offensive? I honestly ask this with out malice:

    Why would one start a thread like this?

    A. To advise anyone with a like unit that if they ask for it they may get a new one and or a better one for free? OK. But, is that not a testimony of the companies support, or if it's brought up that this is the result of a class action suit that forced them to replace them, is that not a rant? Or:

    B. Just to say I got something free or cool or owed? OK, what was really wanted? Some kind of recognition and or congrats? If so the close friends would offer that and it's over in a day.

    If such a thread didn't wander into something else it would die in a day, so,,, where do you expect this to go?
    If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.

    FWIW, I'm having no probs with iTunes 10.5.3 (3) 64 bit on my MacPro with an iPhone 4S or 2 iPods.
    iTunes on Windows is a different animal and beyond the range of the discussion here.

    Your best bet is to find a specific iPod forum & compare notes there.

    or train. Now it refers mainly to threads where comments don't stay on subject. A noble cause.

    Hadn't it been for the original post, I wouldn't have known about the class action and the replacement program. I am greatfull to Seawolf. I am now my girlfriend's hero, at least until she gets bored of her new Nano...
    BTW I never understood why each time "Apple" is mentionned, some people feel threatened in their conviction.

    About two years after I bought an Apple IIe for database management at work, in 1984 I purchased the third Macintosh sold in my town. Now, over 25-years and 15 Apples later (three kids all use them, too) I'm pretty certain the company is here to stay.

    In fact, last week I purchased my first iPod for my own use, a 160GB Classic, knowing full well that icon is about due for replacement. But I love the storage capacity and got it for $175 including a case with lens to cover the window, and two cables and a charger, still in the box. Yeah, I bought one used just to tick off the folks at work who are holding Apple stock and gloating over it. Couldn't be happier.
