iPod
 
So, I buy this iPod touch and have to take it back because the damn thing doesn't even turn the fuck on.
No problem, I can deal.

The new one I get is FUCKING COOL...at least for the first 5 hours and I am psyched because I have a new toy to play with on vacation.

But no... that can't happen, that would be like...buying something for alot of fucking money and it actually WORKING properly..that shit just doesn't happen.

I have had nothing but a headache dealing with this PIECEOFSHIT...
... at this time ALL my music and videos have disappeared after spending $10 on the UPGRADE iTunes offers. I have just wasted valuable time that should have been spent getting ready to leave this fucked-up, hellhole, godforsaken town I live in trying to hunt in the 'SUPPORT' pages what the fuck is wrong with this THING I have wasted my money on.

Anyhoo, I have justed ranted to the Apple tech people to help me... no I didn't cuss ((well, I did, but THAT email wasn't accepted)
So I hope to hear from them so they can relate some totally useless advice to fix the problems.


It truly makes me sick to my stomach to have spent so much money and to have this much aggravation. I need a drink, a strong, knock me on my ass, Drink.
With today's advances in technology...there really should NOT BE this much fuckups, huh?
And considering how much iPods are ( the LITTLE ones are $80, for pete's sake)...they should be quite honestly kissing peoples ass or caressing..whichever you prefer.

Ok..Rant Over.
I'm off to sit in a dark corner.

I've had mine for about 3 years now. Haven't had a single problem with it, other than Harley chewing up one of the headphone pieces. But I don't think that's Apple's fault.

So in short, be happy that mine works.

I use a PSP - i just wish they had the capacity of an IPOD - but i love the fact that they are more flexible than the ipod.

if i had a 40 gig memory stick - i'd be in heaven.

Oh, I see!
So it's just the fact that the universe hates me and makes damn sure that anything that will or possibly could irritate me and make my life more difficult ...does.:rolleyes:

I keep forgetting this.

I must have been such a bitch in my past lives, cause I have been so GOOD this time:mad:

So what actually happened with the replacement you got? Was it that you bought the firmware upgrade for $10 and all your content got erased?

Did your content get erased off the ipod touch, or off your itunes library on your computer as well?

Was the content itunes protected content (ie stuff that you bought from the istore) or non-protected content?


It is really shitty when upgrades make things worse than the thing you upgraded from! Hopefully this is easily recoverable and Apple or someone here can point you in the right direction to getting your stuff back on your ipod...

yep

off the iPod...iTunes is all there

Protected and backed-up

Thank You! I totally need your empathy:)
I am restoring it at the moment, ( the apps are taking FOREVER to DL, so I think I just figured out where the problem is)
I think if it fucks up again, I will just take it back and tell the store if I have to come back...baaad things are gonna happen:D

Being someone who makes software and web pages, i will tell you exactly why this shit happens: people who dont have the slightest idea of what it takes to develop these products set the timetables. they say it will be done by, say, late november, then tell the developer they have until late november, at which point, the dev says "youve got to be fucking kidding me. its not possible"

"Make it possible"

So the release date comes, and they ship an incomplete product because some idiot with power and no experience said so.

Oh, and Apple sucks as bad as microsoft, despite what the commericals and die hards would have you believe. Steve jobs is a monumental asshole, way beyond bill gates. (Steve Wozniak seemed like a hell of a nice guy tho, so of course he is out of the picture)

I read on wired last week about a horrific fuckup in the latest OS apple released. they are going to have some hard times in the next few years...

In my email to Apple support, I told them there is a special place in Hell for Steven Jobs and the rest of his lackeys:D

yeah, "the alternate to satan"

Hes more expensive, but all the geeks think he is more evil, just because he is different :D

Hey, it just occured to me....we are online ....getting lit-LMAO.
Oh god, that's...kinda sad...


BTW: the iPod just finished restore and everything's working again except my pictures are gone but what the fuck, I have music again.

The apps took about 2 hours to DL so I am guessing there is some fuckup somewhere in there.
The advice on the support page said to delete them one by one to see which one MAY be the problem....LMAO, yeah...right, I'll just do that when I have about 6 Hours of time to piss away- LMAO...stupid motherfuckers:rolleyes:
