I Think My Ipod Died.... :(

My Ipod has been acting up for a few weeks. It will never connect to the computer anymore..it justs keeps saying connecting.

Now today it worked fine and then 1/2 hr later it was a black screen. We have not gotten it to work since. It was fully charged. Now we have tried to charge it again and it wont even respond to that....

Oh I miss the Ipod already.

John bought it for me for my birthday so it is not even 6 months old. He informs me today he didnt get a warranty either.

I have searched for help online but didnt get anything....

Anyone?

Keep looking online - there are places that do iPod repair. I think I remember names like Mac ResQ and iPodrepair, but google "iPod repair". You might just need your battery replaced. The place I used charged $30 to send me a custom made box with shaped foam inserts to send it in for diagnosis. They then told me what was wrong and what it would take to fix it. This particular iPod was damaged beyond repair (my daughter tried to change the battery but missed a few crucial steps in the instructions) so they bought it from me to use for parts for $30. They will tell you what's wrong and you can decide how the cost of fixing it compares to buying a new one. Note: if you do buy a new iPod, check first to see if you have the operating system it needs. I bought a 3rd generation nano and found out too late it needed OSX 10.4.8, and I only had 10.3.9 and had had them engrave the damn thing so I couldn't return it. Fortunately I made a trade with someone with the right OS. The only time I ever cursed Apple.

I forgot - if you have an Apple store nearby, you can set up an appointment and they will look at it.

It may still be under warranty, check out the ipod site it will have you type in your serial number etc. and tell you what you can do. I know there was an option that you can buy a extended warranty, you might be able to do that.

      Thank you 😊 I will certainly have those tests done to be thorough although bright red color indicates lower down.  This information is very interesting,  Thank you so much 🙏🏻

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).
