my zune 80 has been far less of a headache than any of the ipods I’ve dealt with. The more features they add to the ipod, the glitchier they become. I also NEED more than 60 gigs of storage, and dont like touchscreens. And the Wifi syncing is nifty.

How old is the comp you are using, could be the usb ports on it are old?  
There also may be a problem with the operational system, might need a clean sweep.  
I’d tell you to just return the ipod and get something better for half the price but it being a present it’s probably not an option…

I ran doom on an old 30 gig I had, was pretty fun for a couple of minutes.  
Then I sold it :lol

I second that!! It’s a week later and I’m still seething over the HOURS I spent trying to get the stupid thing to work.

There’s like 6 USB ports on the computer, all of them had one of two or three problems depending on what buttons I pushed on the stupid thing before I plugged it in.

If I can’t figure it out there are only two options, I bring it back to the Apple store, and they give me a new unfucked one… or I smash it into little tiny ITTTY BITTTTY pieces.

I didn’t buy the thing, it was given as a gift for Christmas. I’ve honestly been through about a dozen iPod’s/MP3 players since they’ve come out. I stopped buying them. I either lose or break them.

There’s not much about this thing I don’t hate right now. I had trouble using it right from the jump cuz my nails were to long, now the stupid fucking thing doesn’t work at all. It’s a paper weight. UGH!

The computer isn’t to old, I tried every effing USB port ON the computer and none worked, tried two different computers and neither worked.

And no, returning it for something half price isn’t really an option… unfortunately.
