Apple products are junk.  My Ipod I received last Dec. 25th worked twice and then I rec'd an email telling me that all support had expired on Jan. 8th.  I now have a Sansa by SanDisk & I LOVE it.  I got it in September and have used it constantly with no problems whatsoever!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Greg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 11th 2007 8:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[To Greg: The only way your iPod can go kaput is that it's part of the unfortunate 15 percent or you weren't taking care of it properly. I admit the first iPod I got I broke it due to ignorance but my second iPod is now two years old and still working properly because I take great care of it.<br><br>That said, I like these tips though. My battery is still at least 8 or so hours of life after two years of heavy play so it's nice to know I can get the battery replaced for $20.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Banchou]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 11th 2007 12:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[not trueee<br>i left my ipod out in the rain for hours<br>and it ended up frying and would not turn back on, i left it alone for a couple months and now it works, but i also hada reboot etc but no songs or videos were lost]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sosohwiotha]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 12th 2007 1:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[i disagree  about the ipod getting wet and it begin a goner my daughter ipod went though the washer i did not reliaze she left it in her pocket intill after the washer was done  we let it sit for almost 3 weeks did not plug it in  or turn it on after 3 weeks we plugged it in to see what would happen and it works fine still hold a charge great and plays great so you see there is hope if it gets wet]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cathy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 12th 2007 1:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have repaired many iPods and even created tutorial videos and ebooks on this.

If you want a good mp3 player get the zune, they cost just as much as an ipod but they are basically like the touch cause they can also hold pics and videos.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 12th 2007 3:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[my son lost his ipod and found it in the swimming pool after 3 days.  he wrapped it with towel and put it in the dryer for an hour. lo and behold it still works!  now he is an apple fanatic.  i told him not to try this drill with his new iphone... lol!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rktek24u]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 13th 2007 8:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[my son lost his ipod and found it in the swimming pool after 3 days.  he wrapped it with towel and put it in the dryer for an hour. lo and behold it still works!  now he is an apple fanatic.  i told him not to try this drill with his new iphone... lol!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rktek24u]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 13th 2007 8:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[Easy trick to improve battery life- turn the screen brightness down.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fic]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2007 6:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[To Jason- <br>So how can you judge a product based on your friends? I bought my first one two years ago and it still works great. And I haven't exactly been extremely careful with it either. Just get a good case.<br><br>Zunes suck, they hold way less memory and the clickwheel is far superior to the zune's buttons. Also, a bigger screen isn't always a better screen.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fic]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2007 6:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am accident prone with my ipod.  I dropped it in the toilet and trust me putting it in uncooked rice just makes it sticky and still broken.<br><br>I bought my ipd at the apple store and used a promo code in addition to buying it though an online site that gives you a percentage back in CASH on all your purchases.  The site has over 1000 stores (including DELL, Apple, Macy's Best Buy, The GAp, Sephora) and you get back from 2 to 55%.<br><br>The site is <a href="http://www.shnorrer.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.shnorrer.com</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Izzy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 12th 2007 4:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[DON'T BUY NEW WHEN GLUE WILL DO !

How long do you think it will take it to breakdown in a landfill?  All outdated or broken electronics should be recycled;  if you ahve trouble finding someplace to do so start pressuring your local waste management company and the governmental body that oversees them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 12th 2007 5:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I once washed my iPod. It went through all the cycles of my washing machine and then my dryer on accident. I got it to work though. I plugged it into its charger, then turned the power outlet on so it started the charger and held play. it actually worked! If that happens to yours, wait about a week before trying this though, so it dries out.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ethan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 12th 2007 6:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[A Dri-aid kit designed to keep hearing aids dry is a quick reasonable way to dry out many electronic devices.  The jar of beads costs about 5 bucks. Pour them into a zip lock bag and place the electronic device in. Within a day it will likely have dried out enough to use.  I have done this with i pods and cell phones. I keep the kit on hand for just such emergencies.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 12th 2007 6:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[My Ipod is probably worse than all of yours. Half of the screen is all fuzzy lines and the other half won't show pictures. Try looking for your favorite songs or memorable pictures. Also, my ipod skips songs.<br><br>I think my friend spilled gatorade on it or stepped on it....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bianca]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 12th 2007 7:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[My son fell on his iPod and the LCD is broken...Our local Apple Store advised that it would cost at least $200.00 to fix, that is half of what I paid for it...Is there away to fix it yourself, or anything other suggestions?

Cost $30.  I bought extras to rotate.  They all work great!  Tiny little unit.  When you buy Apple, you pay for their expensive media buzz.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steve in DC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 12th 2007 7:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[i've had my ipod for 3yrs and haven't had a single problem with it. i play it alot, and on one charge, it lasted a plane ride from florida to ct, then a drive to maine from ct, and a ferry ride from maine to nova scotia and the drive into halifax...and it still played on the return trip back to ct. it finally died about 30mins before getting back to the house. i recharged it for my plane ride back home. i absolutely love my ipod...and right now it's sitting on it's docking station/alarm clock, waiting for us to leave the house again.  sorry about those whose ipods have have problems...but sometimes these things just happen.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[staci]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 12th 2007 8:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/11/10/can-your-broken-ipod-be-fixed/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm a total IPOD fanatic.  I continually update and currently have 3 in my purse (including a Nano & the latest Ipod Classic 160G).  I take good care of my toys AND have never had a problem with any of my PODS. (My original 2nd generation still works!)  Whether it's audio books, movies, music videos or the 40,000+ songs, I'm always using and enjoying these wonderful gadgets.  I do, however, use Shure headphones instead of the ones that come with the Ipod.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marie Klein]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 12th 2007 8:08PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
