problem with iPod as a portable hard drive.... HELP!!!!

Nov 9, 2004 9:51AM PST

I have recently discovered that whenever I save large amounts of data to my iPod, it shuts off when I am done, and then it will not turn on for about 24 hours after a transfer my data. I have backed up my computer on my iPod to transfer the files to my new computer, but I have to wait 24 hours for my iPod to do.... whatever it does. Does anyone have an explaination for this???

If this was me, I'd call the Apple store and talk about it.

Warranty had nothing to do with my conversation.
