various iPod woes
I have a 3G 15GB iPod that I love dearly and faithfully. But there is some unhappiness brewing.
First off, the thing dies very very quickly when connected to any computer via USB 2.0 and playback time has dropped significantly since I bought it.
Secondly, the cheap case I bought for it right when I first got it has stained the top.
Now, I'm fully prepared to embark on the journey of battery replacement. But how easy is it to remove this stain?
I love the clip on the back of this case so much that I didn't even take my iPod out of it for the first 5 or 6 months. Once I did... stained.

In the course of doing its very mild abrasive, scratch removal thing, the Brasso seemed to take off a lot of ground in grime.
At any rate, it didn't hurt anything, and the before and after pictures really were pretty impressive.
Worth a shot?

Also, I'll b e getting some Brasso and seeing what it does. My precious lives most of its life in that cheap Target case anyway.
My wife's iPod mini has the most awesome Apple belt clip. Just white plastic and it snaps right onto the back of the mini. I called Apple about one for my 3G 15GB and they don't make one.
And, of course, something that simple isn't something 3rd parties waste their time with... I just want a decent, minimal case with a proper belt clip.
When did he learn to use capital letters and link images and stuff?
That kind of thing was beyond Scott, despite his '_phd'.
I've noticed he hasn't denied being Scott.
I guess it's Scott, then.
HI SCOTT!
edit: it's definitely Scott. I just saw him say 'fscking' instead of 'fucking' in the Panda thread in AppleOutsider.
Welcome back, Scott. Delighted to see a perfect volte face in your politics. Now let's see if you find a middle way between unquestioning support for your old right wing politics and unquestioning support for the left wing politics you've suddenly adopted.

Boy, do I feel like an idiot! I've been pushing the menu and play buttons to reset the iPod. All's fine now, thanks kwsanders.
No problem... that is what the forums are for. We all help each other out. I am glad to hear that it is working now.
