Comments on: Finally some tentatively good news about my iPod http://blog.xcski.com/2004/03/23/finally-some-tentatively-good-news-about-my-ipod Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.

Mine seems to go catatonic (perpetual reboot mode) sometimes when I leave it alone for several days and it goes from "sleep" to "shutdown" mode (that is, pressing a button or applying power brings up the Apple icon). Sometimes, it is enough to put it into disk mode, hook it up, shut it down, and reset. But sometimes it requires a full wipe and reload. This really bites - moving 30GB of music sucks. And sometimes (three times now - yes, I've had 3 ipods replaced under warranty) it won't come back at all. There is definitely an issue here. I’ve had a similar problem.
