Apple products can be disappointing 
2007-11-28
This is the second one of these I have bought.. and both have shut down on me. I have wasted over $600 on these Ipods as well as another $100+ to repair one of them. They are great for storing mass amounts of music... but they are very tempermental, and seem to breakdown unexpectedly and for no reason at all (i never dropped them/ no water damage/ hardly any scratches). It's as if these were put on some sort of timer to shut down on you after a while, so that you HAVE to go out and buy another. I really love the idea of an ipod.. but when I buy one, I'd hope that it would last me a LONG time cosidering how much they cost. But they fail on you as easily as any disposable item you can buy... and quite frankly, its too much money to spend on something that lasts no longer than a plastic fork.
ughhh... 2007-11-20
Mine broke after just over a year. No warrantee. I brought it to an Apple store, they checked it and told me to through it away. They wanted to charge me $350 to fix it or offered to sell me a brand new one for $300. Guess which option I selected? Just make sure you have backed up all your music!!!
loved it till it broke

I have had this ipod since a few months after launch. It worked very well, but recently it has become completely unusable. I have had problems with it in the past although luckily I had the hardware fix-it 2 year program with Best Buy. I usually don't buy into those gimmicks but I'm glad I did n this case. The hard drive failed and they were able to fix it. Now I have been having severe click wheel problems. For months I have had problems with the scrolling function and have to do special maneuvers with the wheel and can get it to scroll for very short periods of time. Recently the click wheel will not even click, the buttons will not function. So basically I have a shiny white box with a hard drive in it that can't be used the way it was supposed to. Sadly my extended warranty from Best Buy has expired so I cannot get it fixed. Guess I'll have to save up and buy another iPod but I will be waiting till the 6th generation comes out.
Breaks like Clockwork means that it is Rubbish 2007-05-15
I got mine for a Xmas present 2 years ago. Within 6 months it acted up, making me do the ridiculous R method of resetting it over and again. Itunes refuses to recognize it and now it tells me that I have a corrupted iPod--no kidding! At the moment, it is sitting on my desk like a dead bug on its back, frozen. Save yourself years of aggravation, listen to those of us who have had this for over a year...caveat emptor.
What a Lemon!!!! 2007-01-31
I got it new about 2 years ago. I bought it from Apple's Refurb site, and when it arrived, it showed the sad iPod icon. I took it to Apple, they said it needed a new hard drive!!!! Then the clickwheel went on it, which makes it so it won't always respond. Then the hold switch won't lock on it, and then all the problems stopped for a while. Then 5 months later, it wouldn't even turn on, and then only the backlight would show, and there was nothing on the screen. When the warranty was up, it died on that day. Now it sits in it's box on my desk. Don't buy this iPod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yet another 40g with recurring hard drive problems 2007-01-29
40GB hard drive holds approximately 1,333 hours of music at 64 Kbps (or 666 hours at 128 Kbps) * plays MP3, WAV, AAC, AIFF (uncompressed), Apple Lossless, and Audible files * backlit LCD displays track info * 25-minute skip protection * warranty: 1 year *
Arrived broken, what a pathetic piece of hardware. 2007-01-23
It arrived broken. Getting it replaced by apple has already taken a week and a half, and they don't plan to get it to me until another week from now. So now I'm having to wait almost a month before I get the stupid thing, and god knows if it'll even work then.
Apple 40 GB iPod Lemon Club 2007-01-12
I'm a member of the 40 GIG Ipod Club. Purchased first 40 GIG Ipod 2/05. First Hard Drive Failure 10/01/05. At that time thought it would be wise to purchase Apple Care Protection for Ipod. Second hard drive failure 2/22/06. Third Hard Drive failure 8/06. Brought it in to Apple store and the guy said the connector to the hard drive was loose and he fixed it (taped it in place). It worked so I was happy. He also said they were not supposed to fix them and he would order me a new one if I wanted, I was happy it was working and went on my way. Fourth hard drive failure 11/10/06. Brought it in and they are ordering me a new or refurbished one. I like my Ipod but this is rediculous. I guess the next one will last 4 to 9 months, I will be out of warranty, maybe I can fix it myself or buy a more dependable Ipod, or heaven forbid, buy a Microsoft Zune or whatever they call them.
Another One Bites The Dust 
2006-12-19
After owning my 4G 40GB IPOD for almost a year, it died out. Luckily, I owned it for ALMOST a year, and sent it in before my warranty expired out. Apple sent me a brand new IPOD with a postage paid envelope to send in my defective one. I was happy at the fact that they did it so quickly too. The only problem was that my problems weren't over. After about 6 months of using the new IPOD, it died out too. I have no warrenty now, so i'm stuck trying to restore, restart, and all those other crappy "R" fixes that they have that don't work. Now it seems that i'm just another statistic for people who spent a lot of money on a peice of junk. Apple has made a lot of money off this product, I think the least they should do is have some sort of definite recall for anyone who has bought this model. It's really pretty discouraging to see this many people with the same problem. I loved the ease of use of it, but now i'm really hesitant on buying a new IPOD. That new Zune is actually starting to look kind of good...
Lemon of the Bunch 2006-12-13
In the first year, I had to send my iPod in under warranty a total of three times. Twice, they replaced it. My iPod recently died for good, and because I'm not covered under warranty anymore, I could buy a new one for the cost of replacing it. When I looked into it, I found that loads of people with the same model had the exact same problems. It's the lemon of the bunch. There's a reason they discontinued it.
