I had mine in a thick, black, bicep strap case while I was out on a run and it overheated simply from long duration of use and direct sunlight. Apple refuses to replace it and it now only works for a minute after I put it in the freezer for some time. It's quite frustrating.

how to get genius mix on ipod video?

I'm curious to know what the 30 pin Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad connector (or any other proprietary connector for that matter) has over a traditional USB or other standard adapter.

I use my work laptop as my main iTunes machine, but it only has a 40 GB hard drive. So, I use an external drive to hold all of my music. I usually leave this turned off unless I am listening to music at my desk.

At first I just had to put in the headphones a little differently, and with a little twisting and some prayer, it worked. After that, I couldn't get it to play from the right ear, and soon after, neither ear was hearing any music. Any suggestions on a fix? I'd like to be able to give it to a friend since I have already replaced it.
