Should i wait until christmas to buy new ipod?

I noticed that the 60 gig is now $399. Does that mean that they are comming out with a better one for the holiday season????????

Sorry, we won't know. Speculations on Apple products are not allowed on these forums. If you want one, buy it now.

Who has maxed out their space on their 160? How much space can itunes store on a MacBook? should I just shift "jazz" to a new iPod and keep rock on my current 160? any suggestions?

I have not filled the iPod Classic 160 GB. I have most of my music and a few movies for traveling on that one. Before I bought it, I had a 20 GB that was always full. Now, what I do is have rock music on a shuffle that I use for biking or running. Audio Books are on an iPod Touch. The 20 GB unit is no longer used (given away) and replaced with the 160 that holds just about everything else.
The MacBook is limited by the size of the hard disk. Many people with have their entire iTunes library on an external USB or Firewire hard drive and have iTunes map to that. Remember that this is not truly a backup (if the library is only on one drive, it is not a backup, nor should the iPod/iPhone/iPad/etc. be considered a backup)
If you have the means to have another device, I would agree that splitting your music by genre on each device is the way to go. I've known people that sort their music on devices by artist, album, etc. As long as you find a way that works for you.

Not sure whether to wait until I get my new mac notebook...

I just received my Ipad and wondered if I should wait until I get my Mac notebook before I download Itunes onto my Ipad. I currently use a PC and wondered if I download Itunes now will I be able to sync my Ipad with my new Mac notebook I'm getting next month?

This will not prevent you from syncing your iPad with your new Mac. An iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad are not formatted for a Mac or PC.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPad can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPad first.
You can sync contacts, calendar events, notes, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers - between two Macs, between two PCs, or between a Mac and a PC.
When your get your Mac, you will want to transfer select data from your PC to your Mac that you will need or want to access on your Mac such as documents, photos, and your iTunes library. If your PC is a laptop or notebook, an Apple store can help you with transferring this data from your PC to your Mac.

HT1414 Any way to update iOS 4.3 on ipod gen 2 so I can actually buy and use apps? Or did my parents just waste 150$ on somthing alot of middle class can't really afford (To buy new iPods... As this is expensive)

My parents, like many middle class people, only make so much money. My old Ipod Nano broke, and my friend was thinking on giving me her Gen 4. My parents had 0 faith in my friend and went out and baught a used GEN2-- and two years of insurance. I cried from joy. As I don't have a phone, this is a great oppertunity to get a texting app and some other cool apps. Or so I thought. I stayed up for a long time last night trying to figure it all out. Sure, I had internet access, but not much else. It said it needed an update for it to be used with the apps, and from what i gathered, it was possible. I keep trying to figure out where to get the update... From what I've heard.. you have to update with them. no buts. My family doesn't have that kind of money, I'm lucky to get my paws on this. I'm worried they just wasted 150 dollars on nothing. Honestly, they make millions and millions of dollars. I don't think it could cost that much to update all the generations, more people would be on board then; not find out that they need to spend 300-400 dollars every time a new one comes out. but no, they need to make more new ipods/phones that arent even that much different.. maybe a bit bigger and with new updates, but honestly... I think that'd take more money than give. I really was exited, but I'm not so sure I should be anymore. What do I do?

That version cannot be upgraded further if it's a 2G model. The 3G model can be upgraded to iOS 5.x.x. You can't have a 2G model because the maximum iOS version is 4.2.1.

If I buy new IPOD can I transfer music from my existing itunes library?

I fear there is something wrong with my current ipod. It will not allow me to update from my existing library.
Question:
If I just go out and buy a brand new ipod, will I be able to plug in to my computer, and then transfer all the music that is currently in my itunes library?
Thank you for your reply.

so long as your ipod updater software and itunes meet the minimum system requirements for the ipod, it would be fine. (attractive beast downloads precisely the same music as mauve, from the same library. back in the day, all i had to do was upgrade my ipod software first.)

what's the problem with the current ipod? are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.

Want to buy new iPod-should I wait???

I'm trying to decide between buying a new 5g iPod, either the 30 GB or 60 GB version. I am reading about the problems people are experiencing with the new firmware update and song skipping and the like and am wondering if I should wait a bit until Apple fixes some of these problems.
Could people share their overall experience with the iPod and whether it is wiser to get the 30 GB or 60 GB version? I was leaning toward the 60 GB iPod. What about experiences with video playback?
Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Hi Sandy
I didn't have any issues with the update at all. I was very wary as I do use the video feature a lot but I had no problems with it.
I never used the TV show category so I can't comment on that really. There aren't any TV shows on the UK iTMS so I have yet to see if that would cause a problem. In all honesty I probably wouldn't buy them from there anyway. I much prefer to rip my own and so far there are no problems...

Should I wait until the summer to buy a macbook pro?

I am looking to buy a 13-inch with retina display. I don't know if it would be worth it to wait and see if the price drops or if a new mackbook pro is realeased.

Unfortunately, neither does anyone else because Apple doesn't tell us in advance. Also, speculation is not allowed by the terms of service for the forum.
That means you have to use the usual criteria for computer upgrades. If not upgrading your computer will cost you more trouble or money than upgrading, then you upgrade now regardless of what it coming because you or your business literally cannot afford to wait. But if you can afford to wait, then you wait.
One thing that might help: Apple does have price protection for (I think) a couple of weeks after a purchase, so if you buy and the price drops you can ask Apple to refund the difference. The details of this policy, and also of the full refund policy, are on the receipt when you buy. (There are separate policies and time periods for exchange, full refund, and price protection.)

If I buy and iPad2 now, will I be able to get ios5 or should I wait until the fall to purchase?

I am buying a gift for Mom and wondering if I should wait for ios5 or is it easily downloaded once it is released?

The update will be free, and I've never had a problem with any iOS updates on my iPad (some people have but it's a small minority who do). As long as you've got a decent wifi connection to download the update to your computer you should be ok (the last update was just under 600 Meg). As no official date has been released yet for when iOS 5 will be out (apart from in the Autumn), it may still be 5 months away.

Hey, I want to buy a macbook pro or imac mini, I want to know which is better and why, is their going to be new macbooks ect released in 2-3 months thats better that i should rather wait for? Or buy one now ?

Please help me i dont know which one to buy, and ive never owned one before but i have used my friends quite alot. Why is macbook's worth buying if you can get many products for the same price with better specs ?What makes it unique that it dominates basically the whole world.

Hey,
Thank's 4 the advice , but one of my main problems is I live in South Africa and apple products is x2 as much as what the usa doller is for it. Eg Macbook pro starting price $1199 american dollars and directley converted to South African currency is R9160.30.... but the problem is if i want to buy it in my country it has been marked up alot and a Macbook pro starting price for me will be R13000 for 13 inch and if you directley convert our price into american dollers its $1704.30 american dollars, so thats +600 dollers more.
So its much more expensive to buy products in my country and thats just the starting price.
I want mobality but i was also thinking (imac mini) is kinda portable and can plug into any1 T.V u know.
So like i really do t know what to get and that, because its alot more money to spend than the US dollar.
So i really want you to put your self in my position you know...
And what is classified as a good monitor???
And i want to know why my friends say that the imac mini is pathetic , but i think it losts longer than most windows laptops, what do you think ??
And can i who lives in south africa buy products directley from apple them selves ??
Thank's man , hope you can help me out here!
Hope other people can c this 2

What is the best I7 Intel processor to get on the Macbook Pro 15"? Are these processors 2nd generation processors? Does it matter? Should I wait until - when? - for 2nd generation processors to be used? Does the 2.5 Mh processor make a difference?

I'm about to order a MacBook Pro 15". I wonder if the I7 processors are 2nd generation or if it matters. Also, is there significant benefit to getting the 2.4 or 2.5 Ghz processor over the 2.2? I'm not a gamer or graphics manipulator, but I do look at (not edit) a lot of video for my work, and I typically multi-task, having many applications and internet windows open at once. Also, I will be running Windows for work access and applications. Of course, I have little idea what makes a difference in my use experience, except I plan to get max RAM and probably the fastest hard drive. Any advice welcome.

Steve,
I appreciate your focus on assistance, and thank you for your help. Couple of follow up questions: What you said about the new specs suggests that the MacBook Pro line has recently been upgraded with, what, the 2nd gen Intel chips, some other incremental improvements? So maybe it has paid off to crawl along with my old mac to get the latest tech. For these kinds of upgrades, I guess Apple doesn't advertise that they have the latest chips (I've seen PC ads touting the 2nd gen chips, and checked out the Intel site, so that's how I became aware) and all?
I'm planning to enjoy this computer for quite some years. Of course I will get the 3 yr extended warranty. And I was planning to get the hi res antiglare screen: that seems to be the best of the options. It looks like one can now get a faster 750 Gb fast drive, instead of having to settle for 500 in the faster version. The cost does add up, but my feeling was to go for broke and get the best machine I can. So does getting the faster cpu and hd and max ram (perhaps buying third party) and all make sense, assuming I can afford it when I add everything up, or is it like a moderately good guitar player getting a top of the line guitar he can't really play well enough to warrant it? (I remember a story about a student under Segovia arriving with a very very expensive guitar when he was still early in the learning process; it may be apocryphal, but story goes that Segovia took the guitar from the student and smashed it to smithereens. I assume that was not just because the student mistook the instrument for skill in playing it, but perhaps also because he would be too careful with such an expensive instrument, and fail to master it. Maybe not a perfect analogy, but I could be mislead by seeking the "best barn burner on the block" when what I need is what will work fine for my purposes.) So I think your original response was probably right on in terms of what will actually be of use to me.
Thanks again,
David

I am a mobile me user, should I wait until Mountain Lion is released to upgrade

I don't know if I should wait or upgrade my OS now or wait. Thoughts

What is your machine specifications? And what OS X version are you on now?
Apple lists a much lower requirement for Lion, but numerous reports it's slow as molasses on older hardware.

No correct, you do not need iOS for FaceTime. You only needed to update to iOS 6.1.6.
