Contacted Apple by phone. He said do a restore which we did and it transferred the 75 songs from Itunes.

Put another 20 tunes into Itunes and back to square one, it says it is synching but it doesn't.

Rang Apple back but they had finished for the night.

So I think, i'll do another restore and yes they went to the Ipod.

If this means that I have to restore the Ipod evrytime I want to sync some music then this is crazy and Kornchild if you think that is acceptable for a brand new £160 ($320) peice of equipment I don't.

I think I have every right to be annoyed with it, don't you?

Sounds like you have a defective unit. If you've had it for less than a year return it for a new one.

Yes, you have every right to be annoyed. However, your statement was towards iPods in general. "If the technology is this fragile, the fact that this message board exists and is full of problems bears this out, how can they sell such an item?

If someone had spent £160 on a ECU for thier car and it had to be re-programmed every two weeks they would be going spare. Why do we have to put up with substandard goods just because it is percieved as entertainment."

Those are all general statements. You don't say "my defunct iPod," you speak in a general tone. Much like many electronics, iPods come off of assembly lines and some units are prone to failure. This has to do with the nature of assembly lines and not the products themselves. The same thing happens with computers, TVs, cars, digital cameras, video game consoles, $10,000 receivers, DVD players, Blu-ray players, etc.

I would have used a completely different tone had your statement been written about your iPod. It is more than acceptable for someone to be upset that they received a bad unit. Although it is part of many industries, it still sucks when this happens. That is what I am trying to get across. You just can't come out with general statements like that. Badmouth your iPod all you want, just don't pass judgment on every iPod out there. I know I could find many example where someone purchased a £160 car ECU and it turned out to be a defunct unit. Does that mean that I can make general statements? No, it just means that they received a bad unit. That doesn't speak about the quality of the company or products.

Now, if millions of people all reported the same problems then that would be different. Such was the case of the original 160GB iPod classic.
