In light of all the bugs so far, would I have been better off with Touch?

I experienced the battery drain issue after update 1.02, returned the ipod to receive one with exactly the same problem. This issue was solved with update 1.03, but now I have the earbud hiss problem caused by update 1.1.
This means for the 2nd time in about 3 months I will have to restore my ipod , thus wiping my entire library yet again. This is a major pain as I manually manage my music and will have to re-import countless CDs to re-constitute the library.
The inconvenience caused by the consistent faults with the Classic mean I'm considering returning it and replacing with an Ipod Touch. I've looked on the Touch forum and it seems a more reliable ipod - less significant faults caused by updates etc. Is this true, or am I likely to experience as many glitches with the Touch? Will Apple iron out the faults with the Ipod Classic, or are these update bugs indicative of a flawed machine that will only get worse with time?
Basically should I keep the Classic or return it and pay the extra for a Touch?
I know this is a personal issue, but any opinions or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the opinions - very helpful.
I'm still in 2 minds about returning the Ipod. Having just discovered that the Touch does not work as a portable hard drive I'm less inclined to go for it. I do also agree that it's overpriced. I like the Classic, but I'm very frustrated that each update seems to create significant faults - is this normal for Ipods? My 3rd gen never seemed to suffer such problems with updates but maybe it did and I was just unaware.
Having had bad experiences with Apple's quality control on my current Powerbook, these problems with the Classic are really souring my opinion of Apple. I'm weighing up buying a new Imac for my work, but with all the problems my Apple products have had of late, I wonder if buying another Mac is a foolish thing to do!

When i try to wake my macbook after sleep the keypad lights up but the screen stays black. I have to switch off and restart. How do I fix this?

After my Macbook goes into sleep mode it sometimes won't wake. The keypad lights up but the screen stays black. This problem has only occured after updating to OSX 10.7.2.
All I can do is switch off and restart. Then any programs I have not 'quit' all open.

OK, I have a fix.
After spending about an hour online with Apple Care without success, I did a reinstall of the Lion OS. It fixed the problem. I was concerned that I would lose data or settings, but the reinstall was seemless and everything was the way it was before the reinstall except that the "black screen on wake" problem was fixed.
I started the reinstall before I went to bed and it was waiting for me the next morning.
Here is a link to the page on how to do the reinstall:

All the apps on my MacBook Pro have been transferred to the Trash. Any idea how I might get them back into my iTunes?

I recently noticed that all the apps stored on my MacBook Pro are now in the Trash. This is the computer from which I synch all my devices. I'm not sure what I did to make that happen, but I'd like to transfer them back into my iTunes. I have tried to drag and drop them back into iTunes, and I have tried to right-click them to see if there is a good option. Any ideas?

If the applications have got a IPA extension, they are apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. First of all, open iTunes and go to Applications to check that your applications are still there, because iTunes removes the old app version when it is updated, so you may have an old version in Trash. In this case, you can empty it.
If not, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (in the menu bar) -> Go to Folder, and type:
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications
When you are in the folder, open the Trash and move your apps to this folder.

For the last month or so I have been having issues with Firefox crashing whenever I click on anything to do with Facebook. Also, since I downloaded Firefox I have been having major issues with Adobe . Any ideas??

I try to click on the games or other users names or anything that opens another link and it crashes. This has been happening off and on for about a month but has gotten regular in the last 4 or 5 days. Anybody have any ideas?? Also, it seems that Firefox has affected Adobe. I am having lots of issues in the last few weeks but when I use Windows I'm OK????

i have the same problem with the above..firefox is running too slow with the games in facebook..but it runs good when browsing my updates, msgs, photos...firefox is totally opposite of IE..IE is faster with the games and slow while browsing..i love to use mozila but when i do games it really pisses me off...hope you could help me..

My iPod announces the current and previous songs that have been played when I touch it.

For some reason my iPod 6th generation announces the current song or album being played AND the past or last album that was played when I touch it. How do I turn off this feature?

Sounds like VoiceOver has been activated. See this article for instructions on how to turn it off.

I recently got a used macbook pro, and the backlight on the keyboard doesn't light up all the way, I was wondering how much it would cost to get it fixed..

MacBook pro keyboard doesn't light up all the way, I don't know why and I was wondering how much it could cost for repairs.

If there is Warranty or AppleCare it will be covered at Apple Store. If no coverage, Apple does not repair iPhone 4 Power/Lock Button, for $149 they will give you a perfect replacement iPhone 4 exactly like yours with a 90 day Warranty. For the time being or as a permanent solution you can use perfect Virtual Lock Button. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap the new small white screen button > Device > Lock. You can even use this button to turn the iPhone OFF. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, ie charger or USB port of computer.

Are all the bugs fixed in the iPhoto 11?

Have all the bugs been fixed in the iPhoto 11. I have read about the editing problems. I don't want to download otherwise. I have the 8.2 iPhoto software now.

Nope nor have "all of the bugs been fixed" in iPhoto2, 5, 6, '08 or '09 -- or any in other piece of software - software has bugs
iPhoto '11 works fine -- and has for most people since its release

Pre teen wants an apple ipad. is the 3 refirbished got all the bugs out or should I stick with the 2?

does the refirbised iPad 3 have all the bugs out or should I stick with the iPad 2?

There a few reports of issues, but those expereincing them are in a very small minority. I've never had issues with either of mine.
My suggestion would be the refurbished 3rd generation. A refurbished unit will have had a little extra testing and basically be a new iPad. Also, the 3rd gen has a faster processor and a better screen than the 2, and will run Siri (the 2 won't).

Neither of those Apps allow you to (easily) add iWork documents created or edited on the device to your online storage, you need to be using a webDAV server to be able to do that. In fact pretty much all you can add from the iOS device is photos and video without resorting to convoluted workarounds, intermediate apps or emailing finished documents to yourself. You can on the other hand view most of the content of dropbox/sugarsync through those apps, which in a lot of circumstances is useful, but without it working in both directions these apps are far from an ideal solution.
E.g from the sugarsync website
Yes, this may not be of too much interest to the OP, I was only trying to clarify the situation with iCloud.com/iWork for you.
However that being said, there may be areas of interest for Computer to Computer syncing, given the recent changes made to iCloud.com/iWork. I wouldn't suggest iCloud sharing for archived documents, but for perhaps up to a couple of dozen documents in progress, iCloud sharing is now quite viable. If there is any chance at all of these documents being accessed on an iOS device then iCloud would become a preferred option to dropbox or sugarsync.

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera'

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?

DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now?

HT204053 I have another Apple ID from when I originally set up this iPod, now I can't reset it as I am also set up with Find My iPhone which may have been doen by mistake I have been in contact with Apple itself and they can't fix the problem so far

i have originally forgotten my pass code for a new iPod Touch, now I have with Apple's help reset it to factory, my issue is due to the change in my Apple ID , the iPod will not let me set it up under the new Id or the old one.I also have been set up with find my iPhone and I don't remember if I did this or not, could have been the grand children trying to help out. Any ideas or suggestions, I haven't even used this yet and I have owned it for 6months already. Really am disappointed that the process is so difficult to navigate.

I have also noticed the same "problem". I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

In light of all the bugs so far, would I have been better off with Touch?
