iPod and iBook Complaints?

[ethernet76]

Apple has a history of instead of fixing the broken, they'll send you a new one. My 5 gb iPod was sent back for a extremely loose scroll wheel and they ended up just sending me a new one.

It's a lot easier to give you one they fixed 5 months ago, than to try and fix yours and 30 others in a short period of time while trying to get them back in a timely fashion.

Check serial numbers, see if they match the original iBook you bought.

Re: Should I get an iPod warranty for my new 3G?

I'm slammin' happy about my new 20GB iPod, but haven't decided whether to spend another $59 for the 2-year warranty.

Since it's basically a hard drive (and hard drives have been known to go on the blink), is it worth getting?

What gets me is that the warranty is only 2 years, not 3 like other Mac hardware.

And since those wild and crazy Neistat bros. discovered that their battery didn't last more than 18 months, am I really just paying for 6 months of extra battery replacement under the warranty until I hit 2 years?

You are paying for any replacement of the iPod regardless of whether or not the battery has failed. Even if the drive itself has failed, it will be replaced under that warranty. Remember, it is replacement. Any songs you put on the iPod, any data you put on it is potentially gone if it has to be sent in under warranty.

Ipods are junk!

My ipod quit after 14 months and will not be resurrected. In Ireland, they are even more expensive than in the U.S., with the cheapest older models costing the guts of €500. After shelling out that amount of money on something that lasted only 1 year, I refuse to compound my folly by paying for battery replacement every year. No, I have learned a valuable lesson here and that is not to choose something that is all design and no substance.
Someone will come along and do the Ipod better than Apple has, and I will be there to buy this superior product as soon as it comes out. Do I sound bitter? Well, that's because I AM!
p.s. Those of you whose ipods still work ....it's only a matter of time and then you will share in everyone else's anger.

I have my 15gig ipod for about a year now an the battery life still the same you have to accept the fact that it is a HD and like any other HD it eventually fail, I'm feel sorry for you that your ipod die, but to wait to some does it better you better not hold your breath, because others had try and none have been able to match the ipod...

Best thing that ever happened to me

Hello,
I've had a lot of trouble with my old iBook(s). I had it/them repaired three times, stolen twice on the way back from Apple, but in the end I managed to get a maxed out modell because of all my troubles which then got stolen again (that was the second time mentioned above) and thus, I got this really cool iMac which i would never ever trade in again - and I even got money back.

To put it in short: I started out with an iBook 12', Combo Drive, 600 Mhz G3, AirPort. Now I have an 1GHz iMac, 17' Screen, 1 GB RAM, 4x SuperDrive, Airport Extreme and an extra 500 Euro to spend.

I LOVE logic board problems. It's like free updates for the rest of your life.
