Not nearly as bad as Brandon's tale of woe, but I blew an ear bud on my ishuffle. Gone. Gonzo. I bought new ear buds but they suuuuuuuuuuuck. Whaaaaa, I want a nano to make me feel better.

sorry to hear about your ipod... but I'm glad it's just your ipod... I thought something serious was wrong when I read the headline of your post. So... you just pushed the play button on it and there was nothing there? Sounds likes something is wrong with the hard drive... you should take it back and get a new one. I love my ipod but I hate itunes... I've never understood why some people rave about it.

It shouldn't "mess up" your iPod in anyway, but each iPod has to be linked to an authorized computer if you want to upload songs onto it from that computer.

What you can do: Put the iPod into hard drive mode and upload whatever songs you have on your computer onto the iPod that way. Then your sister can hook up the iPod to her computer, remove all of the songs, and then put them back onto the iPod in regular mode. I think this works, anyway. I've never done it, but a number of friends have.

This reminds me that I need to back up my hard drive! I hate when that happens, Brandon. Stupid computers.

Well, that does suck, Brandon, that you lost all your songs on your iPod. I wonder what caused it. I have one, too, so I'd be interested in knowing the reason. But you can just hook it back up to the computer, & iTunes will put them all back on. I haven't really had any problems except for when I first installed everything, & I think it was because I didn't disconnect my firewall first. I have an FM transmitter which I use in my car, & once when I went to use my iPod on my way to work, the iPod battery was completely depleted. I was a little ticked because I was forced to listen to morning radio

, but I sort of wanted the battery to run all the way down anyway. They said if you do this every so often, it helps the iPod hold a charge longer. I then just charged it on my portable speakers that I keep at work.

I won a Shuffle which I gave to my sister, & she shares my iTunes. She has about four country CDs on my iTunes which I uncheck because I don't like country music & do not want them on my iPod. Luckily, she hasn't asked me to update her Shuffle since I first gave it to her. In fact, I'll have to ask her if she's even using it.

Didn't mean to cause worry...but at that moment...I really did hate life!

I unplugged it from the computer and put it on and went to artists and NOTHING, then albums and NOTHING...I turned it off and then turned it on again and still NOTHING. So I plug it back up to the CPU and when iTunes pops up it shows that there are no songs on my iPod.

But I did have a lot of my files backed up on the computer so I am basically back to where I was, and I have had no problems today...

I never update mine because of that very thing.
