16 Oct 2009Apple has determined that in very rare cases, batteries in the iPod nano (1st generation) sold between September 2005 and December 2006, may overheat and prevent the iPod nano from working and deform it. Apple has received very few reports of such incidents, and the issue has been traced to a single battery supplier. Additionally, there have been no reports of such incidents with any other iPod nano model. If your battery shows signs of overheating, such as discoloration or deformity, stop using the iPod nano immediately and contact AppleCare as soon as possible for further assistance.

24 Sep 2009Filed under: Hardware , Tips and tricks , Snow Leopard Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been going back and forth with readers who truly believe that Snow Leopard is reporting battery errors when they have a perfectly good battery. There’s even a substantially large thread in Apple’s Discussions forums about this topic. I’ve been notified of that thread many times, accused of not covering real issues, hiding the truth and just plain refusing to believe that it’s an issue with the Operating System. After trudging through all of that, I’ve determined that it’s a whole bunch of hoopla. I’m not saying that some of these people aren’t experiencing real issues with the software — just the sheer amount of complaints in the discussion forums would say there are problems — but the “Service Battery” complaint doesn’t appear to be related to software issues at all
The outside of the box said "Windows base machine or better", so I bought a Mac.
