[WARNING APPLE RANT] I hate Apple

[Matthew]

I hate Apple.

Recently I got a Brand new ipod Touch 4G and it looked great, and I immediately had issues with transferring anything onto it, I could buy apps but nothing else. Soon after it let me put music and videos onto it and while transferring my laptop went into sleep, my library was corrupted and I had to restore to 4.2.1 meaning no JB. It worked and I could put music onto it fine.

Then after about a few days I was transferring a move and when I finished guess what, my library was corrupt so I had to restore AGAIN!

It worked but later on when I had FINALLY got it the way I wanted it itunes stuck on backing up so I had to remove it and you've guessed it! My library was corrupt. I am currently adding stuff back onto it ATM.

Basically a few things I noticed, why does Apple use a method of transferring files which allows the entire library to be corrupted? Also why does Apple not allow me to delete a corrupted library and force me to restore? And why are apps not affected by a corrupt library, why cant they use a similar method for the library?

Basically I will not deny iDevices CAN be great but ONLY once you set them up. Also I am glad Apple have made a very good restore system, just its used to much.

Rant over

Wow, tough luck.
Good thing I JB'd my iPod the day I got it, even though I got home around 12:00

You can jailbreak your iPod touch 4G on any software.

It's "pwnd4life"

Which means Apple cannot patch the hole.

Yeah and worse, as I have an 8gb version I NEED to convert my music so another hour of tranfering

In my experience, Apple products are very nice but horribly overpriced especially as there are alternatives which match and exceed the quality what Apple produces.

^That will be tethered.
If you need further assistance go look at the Complete Jailbreak guide

Also, convert your music? Whaaa?


EDIT: If it was a girl you shouldn't be complaining, it isn't like you wasted your own money.

You could always do a tethered jailbreak.

Need to convert them to a lower kbps to save space so I can have more stuff on it.

Also I dont want a tethered JB

 

[Son of Science]

Why don't you want a tethered Jailbreak? The tethered part is only really relevant to the iPhone, since the battery life is much worse..

Becuase I don't.

Also finally tranfered all of my movies/apps, now todo music

Also yay only one app (which I dont really care about) wouldnt let me transfer it!

 

[Matthew]

2 of 438 songs transfered (and thats not all of them, those are what will fit when I dont compress the music!).

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Trade it for an android phone.

 

[Splych]

it was a gift , why would you trade a gift ...?

 

[Matthew]

Anyway half of my music transfered and converted to a lower kbps

 

[FireGrey]

My neighbour said Macs are difficult to use.
I also heard from my friend that you need iTunes to transfer things onto iPod.
WTF!!!
