    That should be covered under warranty. Are you sure it is the battery? I mean, when it cuts off, do you see any warning icons/apple logo?

    Sounds like a softwear conflict! Take it to a Apple store or send it in to Apple unless Lethal has any ideas... wait for him to respond befor doing anything (he is AD iPod wizard)

    you should have a free one year warranty. look on apple.com or in your manual to see what it says

    As long as the problem is not inflicted by you, then you are covered by apple.

    There is really no good answer that we can give you. It sounds like you need to send it into apple. I think if you send in your broken ipod/ 200$ (mabey more or less i dont remeber) / and acessories they will send you someone elses old ipos that has been fixed. You might was to try it. If the price is too much just by a new one or Ebay or something.


    (and i dont belieave you need a receit depending on where you brought it from, My local Best Buy does not need a receit. I am coverd for 3 years on my Ipod video no risks!)

    if you take it into the apple store they will look up the day and time of when you bought it and if it is still under the sevice plan they will swap it out with a new old iPod! (This iPod will at least have a new faceplat/ body and bettery)

    They are unlikely to deal with an unregistered iPod with no proof of purchase. For all they know, you could have stolen it.

    That's because I haven't been told it [bold]has[/bold] been registered, but, for your sake..

    qkiani - Have you registered your iPod?
