[edit] "Hardware issues" issue

I suggest, before an edit war ensues, that we discuss this. My take on the matter is that we should try to improve it rather than erasing it. It is a nice section with some nice and some unverifiable info. We should make an effort to add refs before removing the section. Airplaneman ^talk 02:22, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Well, mine has some of the hardware issues, it's not like they are non-existant, just no good citation in that part.193.141.132.155 (talk) 10:50, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] More on "Hardware Issues"

I wrote the two sentences that currently state: "Since iTunes 9 was rolled out, many users with iPod Classics have reported a variety of compatibility issues, including not being able to sync or restore when using iTunes 9. In some cases, these users' iPods have been rendered inoperable after using iTunes 9." I don't know how long those sentences will remain, but I had four sources for this that were deemed unreliable by another editor and deleted. I believe that these references are indeed reliable and that the editor was being unncessarily harsh. My references were the following: ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} . See below for full references. I myself am experiencing a conflict between my iPod Classic and iTunes 9 and am speaking from personal experience. Also, I am not alone. It appears that hundreds if not thousands of iPod Classic users are experiencing the same problem. Although this is not a valid Wikipedia reference, see here for anecdotal evidence of this major problem. That link is to a discussion board on an official Apple page. It is the most widely-viewed page in its topic area.
