so I got an email from Apple because I bought a 1st gen nano years ago.. apparently they're sending free replacements for them because of some battery safety issue... don't even use it anymore.. gonna get the new one and sell it..lol
 
Now I need to find what the hell I did with mine. We have too many iDevices.. I think we have like 5 ipods and 3 iphones in my household... :(
 
should be getting my box to send it in today.. time to figure out how to transfer the music from it to the computer because its no longer on the harddrive
 
How do you know if its a 1st gen? I think the wifey's is from 2005
 
I think her's might be a first gen. Ill have to have her check her old email addy. Can you just go to the apple store to get a replacement ordered?
 
mines boxed up ready to go out.

BTW, you dont have to use any special software to get to the music files. just navigate to the ipod, and under folder options in explorer, select "show hidden files and folders", you will see a folder called iPod control or something, and in there will be a folder with all the music in it. copy, paste, done.
 
got my box monday night.. sent it out yesterday, should be arriving at Apple today.. hopefully i get the new one back before Christmas so i can throw it on Craigslist/eBay

I got my replacement today. They sent me a brand new 8GB newest gen nano. Dope!

was your 1st gen a brand new one? they sent me a refurb, probably because its what the 1st gen was..
 
nope, my ex bought me a refurb like 4-5 years ago for my birthday. you did your replacement fairly early right? like as soon as you found out about it? from what the paper in the box said, they sent people new ones because they ran out of refurbs to send out. should have waited lol.
 
I've got a 1st gen nano that I...er...'inherited' from one of my ex's back in 2006...still use it, it's got the songs that I listen to when I race on it...matter of fact, it's been on me at LEAST 5 or 6 times that I've crashed...

wonder if I should check into sending it in...
 
if its the one w/ the plastic front, send it in and you'll get a 8gb 6th gen
