So the iPod woke up but wouldn't get out of hold. Mind you it was turning on and everything, I just couldn't drive it because it was stuck in hold. So I say to myself, "Self, get thee to the Genius Bar so they can unstick it."
Sometimes I wish I didn't listen to myself.
I went into the Genius Bar with an iPod that was stuck in hold and walked out of the Genius Bar with an iPod that had the folder with the exclamation mark and wouldn't spin up.
Geniuses? Methinks not. Very bad, oh Appley ones. Very bad.
