In addition to not
shuffling, my iPod Shuffle started having some problems
being detected upon plugging it into a usb port. I tried multiple usb ports on
multiple computers with which I had previously used the Shuffle, so I concluded
that the problem must be with the iPod.
Friday afternoon, I opened a service request with Apple online. I was told
they would send out a replacement with a postage-paid envelope in which I could
send back the defective iPod. There would be no cost, but they took my credit
card number in case I didn't send back the broken one.
My new Shuffle arrived this morning (Monday) around 10 am. That's a pretty
amazing response time. I plugged the new one in, initialized it with gtkpod,
and copied over some mp3's. The new one even works in shuffle mode. I put the
old one back in the envelope and scheduled a pickup with DHL, who picked it up
a couple hours later. I'm happy.
In other Apple news, new Macs
will have Intel CPU's.
However, Schiller said the company does not plan to let people run Mac OS X on
other computer makers' hardware. "We will not allow running Mac OS X on
anything other than an Apple Mac," he said.
Nevermind, there's not much of a story here.
