y'all are gonna love this. I did thw whack on the vackside tride and the reset last night. I went to bed after that cause I was so tired I was afraid I might do something stupid.

A few minutes ago I put my Ipod in the cradle of the dock for my old rack system that is completely unconnected to my computer. Well it reset (the lil apple screen) and is now good to go like nothing happend!! :idea:

Thanks for the advice-dear me I thought I had lost a boyfriend or something :brow:

I use an Ipod Shuffle and one or two songs start then cut off and then move on to another song. Then I kept getting errors when I plugged it in to the computer, so I took off the Ipod Software and reinstalled it together with the latest version of Itunes and that sorted the errors out but it still stops one or two songs in their tracks though.

Overrated bollocks I think. :banghead:
