120 gig ipod wiped clean in seconds….

with any warning…

apple…

I hate you

I hate iTunes…once this iTouch breaks i’m buying a zune

I try once more, empty my library and import all music currently on my PC, some 50GB of 9 000 songs.
A quick look after the import to only notice that most of my neatly organized folders are each broken up into 3 or 4 different “albums” just because they don’t have the correct tag or haven’t been bought on crappy iTunes Store. Not much Genius here. Or user-friendlyness.

The fact that iTunes still, on Windows 7, uses way too much resources, that their Bonjour-Service-crap-exe-process-file prevents my computer to go to sleep or hibernate and that once I have iTunes opened before I connect my iPhone it says “USB Device Not Recognized”. Although it’s the exact same USB-connection that works perfectly fine if iPhone is connected before it automatically opens iTunes.

These are just a few more examples to why I realise that I begin to hate Apple. Not just because they’re Apple, but because the products are supposed to be so good, everyone supposedly loves them, Steve Jobs knows exactly what we want and need.

Someone else said it very well. Love the hardware, hate the software.

I had 2000 songs on my Ipod. Now I have around 700, and am trying to find all the CDS that I haven’t used in years, to get my music back.
:/

Maybe Microsoft will implement that

Apple reached a similar Y2K issue and kill it’s business and our money invested in content
That’s becouse the famous 5 devices for content counts also the computers and during the years we throw away computers and keep only the ipod’s (I have only 4 ipods and changed a lot of computers)
I did not know that when you change job or computer or before you throw coffee on your computer you have to deauthorize it. I will ask the HR Managers of all the companies in the world to put this in the termination procedure. And at HD repairing shops a similar procedure – get my dat in order to declare it unauthorized
From now on I will keep my money at home and try some torents and crack programs that should do the file transfers
Until the Apple guys wake up – My first invoice with music was a lot of years ago – 5 is not enough
They want to protect from people who steel music on 200 computers but they kill our content and our money
I bought content and ipod’s – I don’t care about computers and it is not my problem if they authorize computers. If it was for computers I did not buy ipods. It a nonsense here

Apple will die soon – it is a Y2K issue in this 5

A software application without the necessary checks and balances is considered to be poor-quality software. While having such checks may make it a bit less efficient for the expert user, it would’ve saved the day for the average user.

Given this thread has been running for nearly 3 years, I am assuming that Apple may simply not be interested in fixing the issues. This is even worse and quite shocking.

I will never buy another Apple product in my life, nor will I purchase one for any of my kids!

This i Poop Tunes library should be an alternate source for music if a customer wants to purchase music. This whole temporary ownership of digital files and limited “transfer” rights is BS.
HD’s fail! PC’s are designed to have information transferred at will. And some of us are old enough to remember LP’s, cassette decks and buying music to copy for our stereos in both cars, home, school, and walkmen. And we did not have to pay again and again and again!

Once again Apple ranks dead last for ease of operation, portability and interconnectivity.

Buy A ZUNE!
