Does anyone have a lead on why this happened, and should I worry? post:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.35478 Fri, 31 Mar 2006 14:11:37 -0800 theinsectsarewaiting ipod diagnostic screen http://ask.metafilter.com/35478/Why-is-my-ipods-diagnostic-screen-coming-on#552269 Did you download and install the <a href="http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20060323.html">new ipod updater app that Apple pushed out the other day</a>? Apparently they pushed out software to help people control the volume level on their Nanos and video ipods. Just a thought. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.35478-552269 Fri, 31 Mar 2006 14:43:41 -0800 terrapin http://ask.metafilter.com/35478/Why-is-my-ipods-diagnostic-screen-coming-on#552287 What exactly did the diagnostic screen look like? comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.35478-552287 Fri, 31 Mar 2006 15:08:21 -0800 cillit bang
