My hard drive died, screen went blue. Tried various things including Apple Care disc. Said reassuringly (not!) Panic.

Took it to Apple re-seller Took 3 weeks to get new hard drive installed (first hard drive was DOA) and I lost all my data.

I thought, never mind, I've got lots backed up with my .mac account. However, when I logged into the .mac connection with System Preferences, in the Advanced section, it said I wasn't on my registered computer (presumably because it was new hard drive!) So I clicked on the new computer listed. When I downloaded backup to restore the backup folder has 0 KB in it! There was no warning message.. just gone! Not sure what I paid for at all!

The new realisation, can't copy music from ipod to computer! Evidently when I connect it will delete it! Any suggestions?

At this point I am very out of charity with Apple!
