I didn’t know your iPod could become corrupted and stop working. The cure: restoring it to factory settings, which means you end up with an empty iPod. I just thought I’d warn the rest of you, because reloading 20 gigs of music was not what I was planning this week.

If it’s any consolation, Steve Jobs just fired the guy responsible for the MobileMe upgrade fiasco that wiped out so many phones, ipods and other devices…official apple apology is online.
What? I don’t see anything like that on apple.com. Helen, can’t you sync it with your computer? I mean, isn’t it all on your hard drive, in iTunes? Ugh, so sorry that happened.
i loaded my iPod on my old computer. for whatever reason, it isn’t liking me to drag & drop from my regular music files, which means i have to load stuff into my iTunes library & then load onto the iPod. but at least that’s working, now. A-K done. more this weekend.
i took it as an opportunity to be more careful about what i put on it, at least.
Sorry, “official apology” was sarcastic, Google: mobileme apology
It’s being touted as a “Steve Jobs-style apology”: send an internal email to employees which will (and of course, did) get leaked and posted online, in this case via Ars Technica.

An Apple emloyee named “David G.” of the MobileMe team is now (under the direction of Jobs) posting a message every day or two informing users of the current status of the service.

No idea if David G. is even a real person, he is neither the fall guy Rob Schoeben nor the replacement Eddy Cue.

Helen, I hope the reload went well, that kind of failure *should* never happen…
