So is there anyone on here who is HAPPY with their ipod classic?

i recently purchased a 160gb ipod classic (the black model) and i'm thinking about returning it based upon the overwhelming negative posts i've read about it on here. i still have not removed the item from its packaging so have not yet experienced either good or bad results. i already own a 30 and 80gb 5th gen which have both proven totally reliable but i'll need to sell them both in order to cover the $350 expense of the classic. with all of the horror stories i've read on here about the classic, i'm thinking of taking it back and just sticking with my trusty ol' 5th gens. any advice?

Jeff,
I am happy with mine, but
1) it's my first,
2) I can afford it, and
3) I'm basing my opinion on my own experience, rather than that of a discussions board.
I'm a little lost as to how you could buy one if you can't afford it, why you'd get one when you already have two, and how you could buy one without opening it. If I were you, I'd take it back, but then, I may not have bought it in the first place, or at least not until I had sold the others.
Good luck,
Tim

Who is Happy with their Apple Bluetooth? (the brand name one)

I am very pleased with it and I was wondering who else has had good experiences/ found neat things about it.

I am quite happy with my Apple iPhone Bluetooth headset. No noise and the range is solid to about 10 feet with a noisy connection out to about 15 feet. I have noticed that when carrying in my pocket or my Incase leather belt case that I do have range problems if the antenna is facing toward my body rather than away from my body. The antenna is on the dock connector end and is covered with the black plastic piece.
Carry with the glass face toward your body and that will take care of it. I also have a Motorola HS300 and their range is quite similar but the Motorola has more clicks and pops. The Apple has been quite noise free. I have even used it while riding the bicycle and wind noise has not been a problem unless riding into the wind.
A friend of mine in Florida received his this week and uses it regularly on iChat with an Intel iMac. He had been using a Jawbone but the Jawbone is not as clear as the Jawbone when talking to him. The range is about the same between the two on the iMac.
These are the only two I am personally aware of but both of us are quite happy with them. He uses his with his iMac and I use mine with my iPhone.

Has anyone else received error 1434 when restoring their iPod classic.

I can't seem to restore my iPod classic. I get the above error message...a little help?

It doesn't contain your exact erorr number, but perhaps something here will help.
iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
Be sure to carefully work through each every suggestion. Also, make sure you are plugging the iPod into a high powered USB port on the Mac itself and not through a USB hub.

Has anyone else has seen this problem with their iPod touch 5th Generation with iOS 7.0.4. My screen started making flashing white lines across the screen, then went dim, then pixeled with purples

The ipod will show flashing white lines across the screen, going down, it then does somthing where the screen will dim down but its not like when the backlight goes on and its about to lock. It dims the background of your ipod and the icons and letters kind of all look defined. Then the ipod gets all pixelized and it has big boxes on pixels and its all differnt colors like purples and greens, red, etc. then it turns right off and restarts itself less than 5 seconds later. These things happen really fast but when it does it's really weird. It first happened 3 times in a row, Its still continuing to happen but i can manually turn off my ipod by holding the lock button down and not even 30 seconds later it's like its possessed and it turns on by itself. I talked to somone on appel and they told me to back it up and restore it. I restored it and as soon as the process ended and tuirned on like a brand new ipod and like clockwork the glitch happened instantly. It did it a couple of times throughout the night and i kept having to watch it so i can keep turning it off manually because it continues to turn on by itself. I talked to 3 different people on Apple Support and they couldnt even find an answer for me. It's so weird.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Also,
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Shuffle 3g - Anyone who is happy with it?

I have recenlty ordered an iPod shuffle 3rd generation as a gift for a relative.
The thing is on its way, as the birthday party will be in a week or so.
Now before buying this little ipod I forgot to check on here and see if there were any problems with the device...and I'm truly upset abourt this moisture problem.
The person who is going to get my present is not a runner or anything but I'm sure she intends to use it at the gym sometimes and also at the beach or on a bike ride...
I'm really worried about this whole thing and I'm afraid I betetr return it as soon as I get without waiting for any testing time. Eeven people who bought the ipod recenlty experienced that problem..so I guess that in a whole year they still didn't fix the earbuds.
Anyone in here who had succesful experiences?

I bought one early, took it on a trip and temporarily used the iPod headphones since no adapter was available at that time. I ran into the sweat problem in Glendale, AZ, and using plastic wrap and scotch tape from the kitchen of one restaurant covered the controls and stopped the moisture problem.
But that was only temporary anyway, I was waiting to buy this:
http://scosche.com/products/sfID1/210/sfID2/343/productID/1726
That lets me use my Ultimate Ears and Sennheiser Sport headphones or any others with it and I have not had any problems at the gym. And I do sweat a lot.
Quite happy with the combination, glad not to be using the Apple earbuds.

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

What problems, if any, has anyone had by changing to iCloud with their iWeb pages?

What problems, if any, has anyone had by changing to iCloud with their iWeb pages?

The iWeb Application will still run after Mobile Me will be turned off; you can export your web pages to a folder on your hard disk and use ftp to upload the pages to another hosting service.
The generated webpages however will refer to icons located on the mobile me server. To make the forward/backward arrows in slide shows work again you will have to patch the iWeb Application. See Old Toad's tutorial on how to do this:
Modify the iWeb Application: http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html
Also there is a nice tutorial on how to transit from Mobile Me to another service; see Roger Wilmut's page here:

Has anyone used a boxware keyboard buddy with their iphone?

I guess if you travel the iPhone is not the device to buy.
And which device to buy for travel? As far as I know other smartphone platforms even don't have an update facility like AppStore. And by the way what are your criteria for the perfect travel phone? I would place being able to use it in other countries (world phone), having easy access to internet and email and ability to remotely sync Contacts and Calendar on top of my list. All of which iPhone is capable like few other phones.
I'm sorry, John, but your statement seems like utter nonsense and is misleading for others. First being able to update apps doesn't cross my mind as a main functionality for travel. Second I was just travelling to SC and easily installed a new app from iPhone and updated an existing one. In your case I believe there's a mishap with AppStore. Probably you have a false update notification. Just compare versions of the apps you have with the versions of the same apps AppStore shows. I bet version are same. That's why it doesn't let you install.
If you want to sync your iPhone Contacts and Calendar (which seems more like a genuine travel requirement) you can do it via MobileMe or Yahoo and few other similar web services.

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
or my usual solution for Windows Users.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck!

Is there anyone at verizon who can help? I was scammed!

Basically I called in to COMCAST to get my On Demand working and they talked me into buying a bundle. Part of which they said, I had to buy verizon wireless phones. I was told by this person that everything would come on my comcast bill and it would be about 167$ a month. Well I get my bill from comcast for almost 400 dollars and then one from verizon for 300. I went to comcast and verizon today. Comcast agreed to take 35 dollars off the bill, but that is it. And the employee at verizon refused to do anything what so ever to help. I will be honest, this has been a horrible month. My mom (who stays with me) was just diagnosed with lung cancer. It costs 40 bucks each time we see her doctor and 120 each chemo treatment. WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS. Is there anyone at verizon with a heart who could help? I don't know if the person who sold it works for both companies or what. But I was scammed. Comcast wont help anymore and a good hearted person at verizon is my only hope. We are basically getting the choice to either pay a phone bill or pay for my moms chemo. Obviously the answer is my mom. But having verizon work with me so there arn't major credit dings, would be a god send. I hate to beg, but please, someone help. I didn't know what else to do but post here. Sorry to sound melodramatic, but it is true. Please Help!

Who is living with their gradient?

I just decided to take the plunge and pick up a new 24" imac after I returned my old back in November one due to the unevenness of the colors.
Well, I picked up a new one from best buy and sure enough, there's a little bit of gradient and a very slight yellowing in the middle. No bad pixels though.
I'm starting to wonder though, I'm really tired of being so anal about this. I'm not a graphics person.
My question is, is there anyone else out there who is in my position, where you exchanged a few of these alu 24" imacs just to keep getting the same problems? I still have 14 days, but I'm sure I'll just end up with another one. It honestly doesn't really bother me that much and I sure as **** know I'm not the only one with it. Thanks.

I will most likely keep mine, only because I tested 5 at the apple store and 1 at best buy and all had the same exact issue. Granted, it seemed better than my old one, but every single one I have seen has had the slightly lighter left side. I've seen this consistently and yet to see one that is even on both sides.
My guess is that, for the money, this is still excellent. Again, it doesn't bug me. If it gets worse though, I'll refund it, as the same apple rep who sold me this imac sold me the last imac that I returned (for the same reason and a broken DVI port) as well as my first macbook, and he knows of the issue himself.
The screen is gorgeous though :-D I thought my Samsung screens at work were nice, until I came into work this morning and realized how crappy they are in comparison to my imac :-D

Has anyone download the Airport Utility app on their iPod Touch or iPhone?

Just was wondering if anyone downloaded the Airport Utility app from the app store onto their iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone? You can see a picture of your Time Capsule's nework and a picture of your Time Capsule right on your iOS device (iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad) and it's quite nice that you can actually see a picture of your network. It shows current status and a diagram/picture of your network. You can also make changes to your network right from your iOS device. This is a nice feature to have on your portable device.
I was just wondering how anyone else liked this feature?

Here's what Apple recommends:

My external hard drive quit on me. Is there a way to get my content(pics, music and videos) back onto my computer- This is the pc and iTunes that I currently use with this iPod Classic 160gig. I don't want to lose all my info. please help. Thanks.

All my content is still on my iPod classic but my external HDD quit and is not accessible. I am wondering if I can put some of my content onto my PC(my iPod has more storage than my PC hahaha pretty bad) This is the PC I used with iTunes with so I don't think licensing is an issue- But can I upload back to my PC without iTunes wiping clean my iPod because there is no more content on PC/HDD? I know I may need to send my HDD away to to a Data Recovery Specialist. But if I can save a couple hundred bucks to couple thousand bucks I would prefer this method... mostly worried about photos- can't download these again. Next time I will buy a second back up.

My question is, Can I plug my iPod into my PC and put everything back onto my PC's hard drive? This iPod and PC are synced together already. I am worried when I plug my iPod back into my PC, itunes will erase everything on it because it's not in my PC but in my crashed external HDD that I can't access.
You'll need to get yourself a new drive big enough to hold all the data you are going to recover and then reading the tip B-rock has pointed you to. Read it carefully, it should guide you through the steps to recover as much as possible. You are wise to be worried, just plugging in the iPod and clicking sync isn't good enough but it should be possible to recover to most if not all of it.

Help! I can't get three movies that I purchased from iTunes to sync with my iPod classic. Anyone have any suggestions?

When I sync my iPod classic with iTunes, it doesn't download three movies that I purchased from iTunes. Anyone have any idea why and what I need to do about it?

We could if we had a little more information.
What is happening when you try to sync them?
Any error messages or numbers?
What version of iOS are you using?
What country are you located in?

So is there anyone on here who is HAPPY with their ipod classic?
