On December 20, 2005, the appeal filed by individual objectors to the Apple iPod Settlement was dismissed and the Settlement is now Final. This means Apple and the Settlement Administrator can move forward with claims administration and claims fulfillment.
Deadlines relating to claim submissions have not changed. Class members should comply with the claim filing deadlines identified by the Settlement. For Generation 3 iPods, the claim form submission must be postmarked within two years of the original product purchase date. The deadline for submitting Generation 1 and Generation 2 iPod claims expired on 9/30/05.

hey…. I just checked out the ipoddailynews site and they post MAC news there……
MAC is Media Access Control
Mac is short for Macintosh.
Which do you mean?
I remember getting that sheet about how i could get $ from apple for my “faulty” iPod… except mine wan’t faulty, worked great, so I didn’t bother to apply.
Everybody wants a get rich quick scheme.

and who are you anyway…. the MAC/Mac police?
“Everybody wants a get rich quick scheme.”
Just the lawyers.
Jim – Luke is right.

Merry Christmas everyone! Ho ho ho!
Rainy Day/Luke…
you two really know how to kill a joke don’t ya….
Jim,
A joke isn’t funny if you screw up the punch line.
The punch line isn’t screwed up unless you get confused by caps…..
aw fergit it Jim… joke away all ya want
ok…. I’ll make sure that I have my font/caps police check my typing before I post next time…. lol
Big Al
The punch line is only screwed up if you have trouble with CAPS….
Many people on the net refer to the Macintosh as a MAC, either get the joke or don’t.
You’re all a bunch of n00bs
Santa,
Are you a pimp? Your superfly clothes. And that constant Ho’ Ho’ Ho’ thing.
>”Many people on the net refer to the Macintosh as a MAC, either get the joke or don’t.”
Jim, there are also many people on the net that can’t seem to capitalize the first word in a sentence, that use all caps, that put multiple periods at the end of every sentence, that use no punctuation what-so-ever, that call an iBook an ibook, an IBOOK, an i-book or an I/book, that type multiple subjects all as one long sentence, that capitalize the first letter of every word in a sentence and the list goes on. Just because many people want to keep there level of literary courtesy low, that does not make it acceptable. Using good grammar, punctuation and spelling will go a long way towards earning respect for your opinions.
As the satisfied owner of a 1st generation iPod, I refused to be a part of this so-called class action lawsuit. (By the way, it still operates well.)
The purpose of this lawsuit, in my opinion, was simply and solely to generate the $2,768,000 in attorney fees and costs. My opinion of attorneys who participate in such schemes is, to put it mildly, very low.
Well, my 3G battery failed (30 mins useful life) within 12 months, so I filed.
Haven’t heard anything back yet from administrators ? Anyone heard / been paid yet ?
I filed too, as my 1st gen iPod’s battery was lessened to a meer 40 minutes… I ended up paying good money to have it replaced. I somewhat regret filing, because the lawsuit was because Apple “claimed” the iPod had more battery life. But my reason for filing was to get reimbursed for the money I spent on the new battery, not for the reason stated in the lawsuit. Also, how could Apple have known? It was a new product…
