this is just not my month...
Went to put my iPod on and listen to some music and discovered that inexplicably all my music had vanished from it, although not the podcasts or video. I am HOPING that I did a boneheaded thing and managed to sync it when I updated the video on it so that it synced away all the music, rather than it being a hardware or software fault. I am in the process of taking all my mp3s from their backup discs (I am not entirely stupid; it's all backed up) and putting them on the hard drive so I can just sync the whole damn thing. And am putting thought into an external HD to use as a music/audio backup to make syncing easier. (The iPod Classic really wants you to sync instead of manually moving stuff over, which is far less dangerous. Aarg. Wonder if Anapod Explorer works on Vista?)
Expressions of sympathy welcome, if you feel like giving them, or similar tales of woe, but PLEASE no advice: I have been inundated with advice from every quarter about everything that's happened this past month and I am so damn tired of people telling me what I should do that I do not respond well to advice; instead, I get cranky and take it out on the hapless adviser.

I once wiped all my ratings in some horrible sync accident (the music lives on Chad's computer, mostly). It was a giant pain in the ass, but at least the music was still there. I hope your software and hardware are fine.
(I am *this close* to needing a bigger external hard drive, and when I get it, I'll replace his at the same time and put both in a safe deposit box, or maybe get an extra and swap them in and out.)

It's just one damn thing after another, and I have learned not to say "It can only go up from here!"

No kidding. I'm lighting some candles for you today!

God, it's so much work to put all the mp3s back on that stupid thing!
Good luck!

...which immediately froze.
And I could not for the life of me remember the "reboot" sequence. Tried mashing most of the buttons anyway, nothing worked.
So then I fire up my laptop. I needed to read my brother's novel draft anyway, and there's some music on there...
...only to discover that, despite not running it off the battery anytime recently that I can recall, the power was down to less than 25%. So it lasted about half an hour, and then there I was, no music, no nothing...
...across the aisle from the only screaming baby on the plane.

This time of year the radio is almost unbearable too - it's either all ads or all jinglie - not that it's all that listenable the rest of the year either :(
My iPod did the same thing, and when I tried to reload it I ran into the same syncing thing - now I'm carrying an old cdplayer everywhere and listening to the same disk over and over and over :P
Oh well, at least it makes trancing out at work easer ^_^
Good luck - I'll light a candle to it being just an updating/syncing gremlin instead of something more permanent.

It's at times like this that I really wonder whether I should be lusting after an iPod.
