Something decided to make my iPod sick today. I was listening to it fine before lunch, yet after work when I went to listen to something in the car, it suddenly told me I had no podcasts or music! I couldn’t believe my eyes. I even reset it thinking it was just a glitch, but it still said “no music” and “no podcasts”. My notes, photos, and games were still there, however.<\/p>\n
As soon as I got home, I plugged it into iTunes thinking that would solve the issue. iTunes informed me that it could not read my iPod and I needed to “restore” it, which removed all the content and reset it back to the factory settings. Talk about a suck fest!<\/p>\n
The thing is, re-loading my data was quick and easy. I even had the forethought to grab everything I had dumped onto the drive in disk mode and copy it to my desktop before “restoring”, so I didn’t lose my notes. I went upstairs to work out while 34 GB of crap transferred. So overall, getting my iPod back to the way it was before was relatively painless.<\/p>\n
What sucks is that my favorite game, Peggle, had to be synched again so I lost all my progress… and I was on the very last stage of the game!!! I never ever beat games so that totally blows. That’s hours of effort right down the drain.<\/p>\n
But the absolute worst part is I still don’t know what caused this to happen and how to prevent it from happening again. What if I was on vacation and couldn’t restore my music? I guess I’d be shit out of luck, huh? Not cool, Apple!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
