Any nerds on here? (iPod related)

Hm... don't know if there are any experts on the subject here, but always when my iPod seems to be dead for good (crashing my PC, not opening, swarming with logo's on the screen, acting like there's nothing on it) and I leave it alone for a couple of days (so it's not running in any way) it just starts working again like out of the blue. I was wondering if anyone has a viable explanation for this? Just to be clear, in the time between fuckup and revitalisation, the iPod is just turned off, hard disk not spinning, disconnected and all.

I should have done some IT study. :P

    check out ipodlounge.com you can find any answer there.

    The best way to keep your Ipod working is to toss the PC and get a MAC ;)

    i'm sure this is already in mind but:

    reset it and check apple.com to see if there are updates for it.

    i've had no issues with mine getting along with windows.

    Check for any updated iPod software and when updating it there's an option to wipe it clean while you're at it. You'll have to reload your music from your PC afterwards, but it could fix the problem. If its less than a year old, or you got it with the extended AppleCare warranty, call Apple or head down to an Apple Store to have it looked if it doesn't get better.

    Want a cheap Mac? Get the Mac mini, starts at $499 for the base model.
