(Though if you bought > the iPod > to use as a pocket watch, that's more of a problem...) :-) Thanks for your quick response, I really appreciate it. Actually, we just bought them (2) at the end of September...I believe Apple's guarantee is 90 days, we are planning on buying AppleCare later this month. Even though it's not the end of the world if the clock dies, it would be nice if it works...I do use it. I have researched this problem on the web and have found nothing. Is there indeed a separate clock chip for the iPod? I guess, other than the clock issue, the fact that the iPod is having problems makes me wonder if other issues are going to crop up as well... Sam
