Should I get the 30 gig ipod or the 80 gig ipod

Hi Guys,
After two creative labs "lemons" Iv'e decided to get an ipod video but can't decide whether to get the 30 or 80 gig model. I have 8.76 gigs of music ripped to my computer. I want it primarily for music but would also like to put some photos and video on it. I'm leaning for the 80, but my friends recomend the 30 saying that I will never fill 30 gigs. I can easily afford the 30 with an extended warranty plan from either circ. city or best buy. I can also afford the 80 but won't be able to afford an expensive extended warranty plan for it (they average around 69$ for the 80 gig). I also found an 80 gig on amazon for $330 with no tax and free shipping, but I dont think amazon's extended warranty plan is any good. What about apple's manufacturer warranty? is it any good. Do you guys think i should be worried and purchase an ext. warranty or just get the 80 gig and hope for the best? not looking for an answer per say...just your guy's opinions!

One thing you might want to do is go by an apple
store or retailer. Then you can compare the two
against each other. See which one you would be more
comfortable with.
As far as amount of music and other stuff. Only you
know how big your library can be. My audiobook
collection alone is over 30 gigs. Everyone will have
different size libraries and their use may be
different from you.

This is not on topic, but you spoke of putting your audiobooks on your iPod. This is exactly why I bought the 80 Gig--but now I'm having problems putting books on it. I have a PC and the books come with an AAC extension--which apparently needs to be converted to a different extension. There is a program to convert on an Apple but I can't find out if there is one to convert files for my PC running Windows XP.

    It is up to you. It depends what you want to use the iPod for.

  • For the 2012 Macbook Pro 13" should I get the 2.5GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5 or the 2.9GHz Dual Core Intel Core i7?

    I am a high school student and I am getting my first Macbook Pro. I am not really sure which 13 inch Macbook Pro model I should get. My budget is kind of tight, but I think that I can afford any one of the models but I dont want to spend any money that I dont have to spend. Usually on a day to day basis, I use the web brower, watch movies that I have downloaded, and write a lot of papers. I also sometimes use Photoshop, and while I do not play a lot of games, I do want to have the option if I decide to later when I go to college. The larger hard drive size on the Core i7 model does not really matter to me because I dont plan using more than 500GB. I will be upgrading the ram to 8GB if I get the Core i5 model and it comes standard on the i7. Also, I need this computer to last me for 3-4 years so I want something that will still seem relatively fast a few years down the road. Lastly, while I would prefer getting the Macbook Pro due to its cheaper price and ability to upgrade the hard drive later, I also am considering the Macbook Air Core i7 model, mainly because of the faster ssd and the higher resolution screen. I dont really use the optical drive, so loosing it would not be a big deal. The same goes with the Firewire port or the Ethernet port. What would you guys suggest I get. A Macbook Pro or a Air and if the Pro, should I get the Core i5 or the i7?
    Thanks

    If you're planning on keeping it for long term.
    Go with the i7 2.9GHz.
    It's a $300 difference but with that you get; the RAM, Hard Drive and Processor upgrade.
    Since you want it to last before you decide to either upgrade or buy a new one.  The i7 2.9GHz is a good choice.
    Do remember that Mountain Lion is around the corner and other software get's updated to and wants more CPU power and more memory.
    Nothing is wrong with the i5 2.5GHz either.  You'll just have to upgrade the RAM sooner in case 4GB isn't enough for you.
    Put it this way:
    i5 2.5GHz has 3MB L3 Cache Memory
    i7 2.9GHz has 4MB L3 Cache Memory
    Now, you're also thinking about the MB Air, a very nice notebook which is light, portable and has a better resolution than the MB Pro 13 inch.  You have to however, keep in mnd that the RAM and Hard Drive in the MB Air is not user upgradeable and has no optical drive.

  • Should I get the new MacBook?

    I have a Mac OS X 2.5GHz 2 GB w/ version 10.5.8.  Can this MacBook Pro handle the upgrade to Mountain Lion or should I get the new MacBook Pro

    In addition I'm sure you are aware that any PPC applications you have will not work and that many of your third party applications my need to be upgraded.

  • In platform transition: should I get the Mac or PC version?

    I am currently working off of a PC, but will be buying a Mac next year May or so.  So ultimately I want a Mac-compatible version of Adobe Creative Suite, but need to work with something on my PC for the next few months.  Should I get the PC version now, and then just continue using that version on the Mac via Bootcamp, Fusion, Parallels, etc.?  Or is there a way where I could get the PC version now and switch to a Mac-compatible version in May? 
    And is it even preferrable to have the Mac-based version over the PC-version when I do buy a Mac?
    I am planning on using the CS for front-end web development (wireframing in Illustrator / Photoshop) and some marketing collateral. 
    Any comments or suggestions would be great. 
    Thank you!

    The simplest way of accomplishing what you want to do is via a subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud which covers usage on both platforms. For example, download and install on your Windows system now. If you go with a Macintosh later on, simply download and install on the Macintosh. You get two activations and unless you decide to decommission the Windows system, you don't even need to deactivate on the Windows system. Obviously, if you discontinue use of the Windows system, you should deactivate on that system. The subscription also will get you the latest version of the software as it is released without subsequent upgrade costs.

    Is the MacBook the computer you have synced with in the past? If not you can use the computer that you have synced with to restore your apps. Are you sure you are using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Apps?

  • Should I Get the Iphone 3g

    I have been looking at getting the Iphone 3g over the past couple of weeks. What I really want is an unbiased opinion. I know it may have some trouble with 3G. And I know it may have a few minor software gliches(which I am pretty sure Apple will fix).
    Also which should I get the 16gb or the 8gb version.
    Thanks

    A lot of "depends" type questions...
    personally, I say yes. Ultimately depends on how you wish to use the phone?
    3G: Call AT&T Customer Svc and have them verify the level of 3G network support in your local area, or your frequented business or otherwise travel locations are. Just because they show you being in "blue" 3G zone, doesn't mean your signal strength will be as strong as another "blue" area 4-miles away. My 3G signal vacillates from No Svc to two bars from minute to minute standing in the same spot. The more users on 3G network will slow your download speed.
    BATTERY: No complaints here based on my regulated use of 3G, PUSH; Locate Me; Wi-Fi usage; send and receive emails/SMS messages, GPS and internet access. First 24-hours I owned the field I spent a lot of time familiarizing myself with all the features and I ended up with 19-hours battery time. Since then I avg 24- 48 hours before recharging.
    My Personal usage: I use my 3G as a "tool", only using features as required. I work a lot from my home office; therefore, don't require PUSH for email/SMS since I have my laptop and local ISP for internet and email access. Being at home and when traveling in the local area I "know where I am for the most part" so GPS is not required. Having my business phone there, most of my calls are on it and not my iPhone unless I receive a call from a colleague or family member on my iPhone. I do leave my BlueTooth turned on at least 8-hours a day even in my home office. I turn PUSH on when I am expecting important emails from clients or colleagues when away from my home office which is at least 1-hr per day... when I am not expecting anything of importance and away from my office, I leave it on FETCH at 15-30 min intervals since there is nothing that important that can't wait and if it is, they can call me to get my attention. I use my camera on occasion (twice in two weeks I think... and have rare needs for video capabilities). Sending pix via SMS or txt can be convenient at times, but depends on the priority and urgency you put into sending this to someone who may not even have their wireless device turned on or close by? I also have not experienced the same concerns as others on this Discussion site.. but their user scenarios may significantly differ from mine. I don't use Micro Soft Exchange server, nor Mobile Me... since my syncs etc can wait until I get to my MacBook Pro and flip on iTunes. I purchased the 16Gig and glad I did. I do have around 200-tunes on it and maybe keep 2-3 movies on it. I listen to my iTunes a couple hours a day on average and talk time is 2.5 to 3.5 hr's a day. I was at the airport two days ago and jumped on their Wi-Fi to jump on the internet to track a colleagues flight coming in and checking news and had my 3G on PUSH for emails for a couple of hours and barely noticed a drain on my battery. Again, I use it as a tool for those features I need at the time and glad I had my 3G. A guy next to me had his BlackBerry open to the web and he glanced over to see the rich HTML download I had on Flight Aware and commented on how he wished he had the robustness of the 3G. On the flip side, the iPhone isn't perfect when it comes to Business usage on a regular basis. It meets my needs and if I want, I can use my company's MS Exchange server, etc... or even Mobile.Me... I just choose not to at this time. I did come over from Verizon Wireless... and I am not convinced AT&T's network (EDGE or 3G) is as reliable. I have had 4-dropped calls in area's I have never had issues with in 7-yr's with Verizon... but AT&T so far have been very good about credits. If this continues on a regular basis before my 30-days ends, I may have to consider returning to Verizon? 3G is still being rolled-out, so I am hoping its coverage and network tools improve to handle the additional user volume's. I don't care which phone you use on 3G, it will still have the same issues and burn battery life quickly if you choose to live on 3G... surf the net or use GPS to go to local grocery store, etc. It isn't a toy, its a tool to be used when you need it.

    Depends whether you'll hate everyone who has the iphone 5 when it eventually comes out. Note, this is the ipad section of the ASC.

  • Should I get the iPod Touch 5g 16 or 32 gig?

    So I've had the iPod Touch 4 for 3 years, it's only 8 gigs, there are scratches everywhere, the home button is broken, the front camera doesn't work, and it's really slow. But I've been trying to convince my self to wait until they (probably/most likely) release the 6g next year. But yesterday I dropped my iPod and the top left of the screen cracked, and now glass is coming out. So now I really want a new one for Christmas. But I'm not to sure if I should get the 16 or 32 gig, and knowing me, when they release the 6g(if they ever do) or I'll get a phone, I'll want it. So I'll probably only use the 5 for a year. The loop and the gigs difference from to 2 models really don't make a difference to me, but the back camera does because next summer I'm going out of country and I would like to take pictures with it. Which one do you think I should get?

    Like everyone else has said-- forget the 16g no back camera just a front camera, great if you're a narcissist, not much use for taking pictures of the countryside. 32g will get you by, but you will fill that up in about a week, unless you plan to dump the pictures onto your computer and clear them off your iPod. Personally I have a 64g with approximate 32g free space. The used spaces is as follows approximate15g with photos and video, approximate 1900 songs using 7.6g (I use the 128 compression for the music otherwise it would take up at least 32g) and approximate 2.3g filled with apps and other. Hope this helps you with your decision. Good luck.

  • Should i get the 16 or 32 gig iphone4s

    heres the thing. the 32 gig was what i wanted initially. but its backordered on verizon like crazy.
    the 16 gig is backordered too. but not as bad as the 32gig.  and ive been waiting for a new phone since last year (im currently rockin the palm centro )
    anyway. i have about 1,700-2,000 songs that i plan to put on it. but my music library will grow to about 2,700-3,000 songs by next year or before.
    i dont really plan to take a whole lot of pictures. im going to estimate ill probably have around 50-100 on it at one time.
    videos. prolly a few podcast videos, and some favorite youtube videos i downloaded. and then whatever i happen to capture on the hd video camera.
    apps. maybe a few games, pandora, and then some miscellaneous apps.
    my 8gig ipod touch that i got about 3 years ago became absolutely full a few months ago
    so really. should i just get the 16gig and save 100 dollars. or wait it out and get the 32 gig. i just dont want to run out of space in the future/ but at the same time im used to managing what goes on my portable device by now so i guess i dont really mind doing it.

    get the 64GB as you only get to use 54GB of the space and I get 7699 mp3's on mine (all coded at 192kbps VBR from lossless source) plus a few movies and space for apps etc.

  • Should I get the iPod Touch? (Also a question about the screen issue)

    Hi,
    I recently purchased the 8GB iPod Nano, and now i'm considering to add a $100 and get the iPod Touch 8GB. Would you guys recommend it?
    Another question I had was that I heard about the iPod Touch having some Screen Issues, and read somewhere that if the Box has a picture of Macy Gray then its Bad. But I personally think the Macy Gray image is for the 8GB, and the other artist is for the 16GB.
    Is there a 100% definite way for me to find out if it has a good screen or not?
    Thanks in Advance!
    Saeid.

    Ok, I recommend the iPod Touch. 8GB is fine, and totally worth the $$.
    The screen issue has been fixed by a firmware update, so as long as you update to the latest firmware, you should be in the clear.
    I have a 16GB macy Gray and it is working perfectly so far (1 week of ownership)
    However, you mentioned using your iPod in the rain. If you do so, the Touch is not for you! I would not want to get water even near it, because the technology could be very very sensitive to water. It was raining here the other day (in Los Angeles) and I was so scared to use the touch that I took my 8GB 3gen Nano with me instead. And I was still scared to use that.
    You will have to take the touch out and look at it if you are going to operate it properly.
    The good news:
    you can make playlists on the go! That means you can, while it is still dry, set a nice playlist without connecting to your computer. But, if the volume needs to be adjusted, there is a shortcut that would take just a bit of memorization and careful skill. In your pocket, you can double tap the home button, and then the volume, pause and track forward/backward "buttons" pop up. If you can memorize their position and hit them right, the Touch can be operated in your pocket. But make sure your hands are dry!
    So it's up to you. I think quality wise, the Touch has had most of its bugs worked out. The only things that will come in the future are additional features.
    Good luck and I hope you get it.
