Ok well I only bought this 4th gen IPOD and it worked flawlessly for 3 weeks. I had the newest firmware update as well.
So I didnt use it for about a week and when I go to listen to it again, it starts going crazy.
Firstly, it was very slow when navigating through the menu and it lagged. Then when I went to push play, the song would take forever to start playing and when it did start it was gapping, froze, and then when to the main menu. I tried other songs and same thing happend, but this time it completly froze and I could not turn it off.
I then tried to hook it up to my cradle and to itunes to see if I could unfreeze it. Sure enough I unforze it and checked all the songs on the IPOD through Itunes and all was fine. I then go to eject and it would not. It froze again and also froze my comp. I had to pull it out with the screen saying do not disconnect.
I then tried to test it again with headfones and now it did not lag but there would be no song playing, just some randomly loud chirping coming from the headfones. I thought my headfones broke so I decided to connect through the line out in my car. Same thing happend, loud chirping sounds.
What the heck is wrong wit my ipod? I didnt drop it or misuse it at all. I am so frustrated because I just bought it. I only put about 50 songs on it so far. IS my ipod fried? What should I do?
