I wonder if a day will ever come where I have no issues with my iPod 10GB and/or my iBook G4 933mhz/14". The latest round is this:
My iPod (which, by the way, is the 2nd one I've had, since Apple replaced the original because it wouldn't finish a sync) once again will not sync with iTunes, and instead locks up iTunes and the iPod. I turned my iPod on yesterday and voila! All of my songs and playlists were gone. I then tried to do a restore using the restore tool. That locked up my computer the 1st time, then finally worked the 2nd. Syncing, as I said before, doesn't happen. It will copy a few songs then just stop working. I'm using FireWire by the way. Also, the battery drains at such a rapid pace -- I charged it overnight and the battery is already half-dead this morning right after I took it off the charger! Ahhh! The replacement iPod is only 3 months old, and the original I got for Christmas 2003.
Now we come to my iBook. I'm hoping that the extreme sluggishness, frequent lockups, slow app loading, graphical glitches, etc. are due to me only having 256mb ram and running quite a few apps under 10.3 Panther. I've got an Airport Extreme card, yet half of the time my wireless network can't be connected to and instead I get a vague "error connecting to linksys" (not verbatim) error message. A few times I've started the computer only to have it lock up as soon as I log in. Other times, the power button wont turn it on. The iBook is only 1 1/2 months old. That's right.
All I have to say is "What the h*ll apple?" I am so fed up with Apple's products. For the record, I have had an iMac Blueberry (Revision 1.5), and another iBook (the generation with the logic board problems; that one had every single component replaced due to failure, includeing the screen, keyboard, logicboard, etc.). I officially have sent every single Apple product I've ever owned in for support at least once. The real shame is that I know when I call support today, I'll end up talking to at least 4 people, all of whom will make me go thru the same exact preliminary steps to try and fix my problems, instead of communicating to each other and making progress on the repairs, and at least one of whom will have such a heavy foreign accent I won't be able to understand anything they say. I was a single click away from having a new PC shipped to my house. To say I'm irate and sick of this asinine hogwash would be an understatement.
Thanks,
Kyle
