OK, so not only does my iPod not sync up with my iBook in the way I would expect, and the battery life is unpredictable, now the menu button doesn't work! The most frustrating part is that if I hold the menu button, it still backlights & unlights the way it is supposed to.

But now, I only get to listen to the one playlist, and I can't see what songs are forward or back - I might as well have a really large CD player on "shuffle".

That's it. I'm calling Apple - either on the way home from work, or else this weekend.
