what happy joy! what joyful happiness! (is that proper?)

my dead 4th gen ipod... is...
risen!!!

ok, so just over halfway through last semester, my powerbook crashed. HD: gone. everything. But i was like, "no worries! i've got my trusty 4th gen ipod-slash-makeshift external harddrive-ish thing!" So i went to the mac lab, and plugged it in...

...

...

and nothing happened.

itunes didn't open.

a little cute ipod icon didn't show up...

crappy.

so i unplugged it, and tried again. this time, itunes opened, and a nice window popped up and told me that my ipod was corrupt and needed a reformat (stupid windows is what i originally used to set up my ipod. CURSE YOU MICROSOFT!)...
so i sadly unplugged my ipod, and tried to accept that it was no use.
i put it on my desk, and figured i might do some online research... and i did, and nothing helped.

every now and then, since that day, i have tried the ipod to no avail.
until today! i plugged it in with hoped of reformatting it. well that didn't work, because itunes opened and all my music was there! furthermore, i was able to open my ipod and get all the pictures and old homework.

now that everything is safe on my lappy (i hope...) i will reformat my ipod (he needs a fresh start) and put all my important files on it. oh yay.
