When does Apple confirm their problem with the firmware 1.1 on 5g ipods???

I'm really frunstrated about the unwillingness from apple support to address/confirm the issue around firmware 1.1 on 5g ipods.
I spent hours to talk to support and explain varios tests I did on that subjetct, but apple keeps saying: It's not our problem!
Shame on apple! I really thaught apple is different, but it turns out, that between shareholder value und marketing campaines there's no space for customer care....
Did somone suffering with the same issue (video freezes after 30 sec and continues without sound) got any better answer from apple?
What information does apple need to confirm it's apple's problem?
Regards, netwho
PowerBook 12"   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

I have bought my 30GB iPod Video just 3days ago, and it tried to upgrade the ipod updater to 1.1.
I have updated my ipod without a problem. And I had also updated to latest version of iTunes.
Itunes had given error few times and closed itself while optimizing photos before transfering them to ipod. I have sorted out that it was due to my photo folder being over 2GB's, than started importing them in smaller portions by adding a new folder each time. Afterwords, photos and pictures copied to iPod without problems.(but i have to add, i have received a nonsense error like 'itunes cant write to folder or something)
After a bit of dazzling and struggling i was able to play videos and music as well. But after few seconds iPod screen frozen and i wasnt able to do anything. I have reboot it, and tried to change songs, and after few songs, the screen frozen again, wheel was not functioning but funny part, music was still playing. I got online and checked the forums and seen other people having those problems after upgrading to new firmware. I have uninstalled the 1.1 firmware and installed the one on CD, and I have also downgraded my version of iTunes as well. Now things seems to work all fine.
I just don't get why apple withdraws this buggy problametic version of firmware, they will drive more users go mad and not every computer/iPod user would figure out why it happened themselves...
One more thing I have to add. Why I am also having hard to understand why each version of iTunes started consuming unbelievedable amount of RAM on computer. I have 1.4Mhz centrino with 512 RAM, and the sound distorts(slows down) over iTunes when start copying files from DVD. Or it cause errors and shutdowns 'on optimizing photos' stage on iTunes when i try to copy photos to my iPod. I don't think 1.4Mhz and 512mb ram shall be called as low resource simply to use iTunes. They really need to retest, debug and optimize their software. And immediately, remove that 1.1 firmware from apple.com until they resolve the bugs and error inside it.

    I'd take it into my local APple store and have them look at it. There may be something wrong inside your device.

  • My cat likes to lick and chew on iPhone charging cables. What does Apple coat their cables with?

    My cat likes to lick and chew on iPhone charging cables. Only Apple cables, she is not attracted to any others in our home. Has anyone else had this happen.
    The Kindle and iPhone cables are right next to each other. She only likes the Apple cable leaving the Kindle cable untouched.
    What does Apple coat their cables with?
    Thanks in advance

    I'll go ahead and suggest it. My cat has chewed (and destroyed) the following:
    --two sets of my brother's Apple ear buds
    --two sets of my boyfriend's Apple ear buds
    --three sets of my own Apple ear buds
    -- one Macbook power cord ($80+ to replace)
    I went into the Apple store Friday to buy a new power cord. I said to the genius helping me, "I didn't even have that cord for a year.  Ye know what happened to it?"
    Genius said, "Your cat ate it?"
    They're aware of the issue!
    WTH secret ingredient is Apple using?  My story is no different than the others: cat leaves all other cords alone; seeks out and destroys Apple cords.
    The only thing I know for sure is that Apple makes money on cord replacements.

    I have a problem with the iTunes Store, I have an ipod and an iphone 2. I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 2007, entering into iTunes Store on the main screen I get only AppStore, Podcast and iTunes U. In my screen I get only ipad2 Podcast, iTunes U Downloads. My problem is I can not access any application to download music, videos, books, etc..
    ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

    Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country.  Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are. 
    Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

  • Does anyone else have problems with the new macbook pro trackpad?

    I exchanged my new macbook pro last week because there was a major trackpad lag. Every time I put it to sleep and woke it up, the trackpad would delay 5 or more seconds. I took it in to the Apple store and they said it could be a software issue and I exchanged it. However, I just opened up this one up from the package today, and there's still a lag. Does anyone else have problems with that? I don't want to exchange it again, so is there something I can do?

    Also, is it mandatory to run software updates when you first turn on your computer?

  • Does Firefox have a problem with the latest Flashplayer as it keeps telling me it needs updating, even after being updated

    I am running Firefox 3.6.9 and have updated to Flashplayer 10.1 r53, but the system keeps telling me when I check for plugin updates that Flashplayer is vulnerable and a security risk???
    I have contacted Adobe is that was a lot of help NOT
    Does anyone know what is going on with this program, besides having some very sophisticated reporting software installed within the program

    The 3.6.8.version will not update. It locks up. ALSO the flash player is 10.1.r82, in the 3.6.8 version however if enabled will cause firefox to crash without any user intervention. Starts, loads approx 20 seconds, disappears. No problem with flash player and/or firefox until firefox update. Then all went to%$!!. Chrome is looking better all the time.

  • Does anyone have a problem with the ipad air screen?

    I bought an ipad air last week and the left edge of the screen was darker than the other side. It was obvious so I just returned it and bought a new one since the store didn't have the same style in storage. I bought another one from another retailer, and just found the same problem, but not as serious as the former one. So I just took it back to the store the next day and exchange another one. Unfortunately, the third one had the same problem at the up-left corner of the screen. I admit that I am picky, but I think I pay this amount of money so I deserve perfect screen. If the brightness of the two sides is different, I dont think it is a product of good quality.
    Just want know if anyone else have the same problem with me. Or you just can bear the small diffrence of display.  BTW, in China, it is reported spreadly that the ipad air screen has a problem. They even generalize the serial number for problematic ipad air.

    Yep.   Many quality control problems.   The new mini has fewer issues.   No problems with older models.

  • Does Apple FM Receiver work with the iPhone?

    When I plug in the FM receiver, I get a message saying it's not supported.
    Thanks.

    no it doesnt...i was really hoping it would, but when you connect it it says:
    "This accessory is not supported by iPhone"
    ...it probably has to do with the extra pin on the iphone headphones (left audio, right audio, microphone/click-button), where the fm receiver jack only has (left & right audio). there's no reason why they couldn't just pass that through on future versions, but all the fm receivers out to date probably dont support the extra pin

  • Problem with the firmware update...

    Now I have a new problem... I had the Xserve on my intranet so long that when I went to update it and plugged it into the Internet, there seems to be a firmware update. I started the update, and its supposed to come up with a status bar, but so far nothing. It's been 4 hours, and the screen is not getting a signal. I'm afraid that if I turn the system off and the system is actually upgrading the firmware that will mess up the system royally. I'm going to leave it for the next 24 hours, but if it's still sitting there chugging away with the blank screen, I'm going to have to turn it off.
    Have any of you seen this problem? I may try and reset the firmware. I never had these problems until now... it's starting to get aggravating...

    Clearly I have to answer my own questions in the server forums...
    For anyone who may end up with a similar issue and finds this. Your firmware update probably didn't work correctly, download the Apple Firmware Restoration CD. Make sure you find the correct version for your computer, like my version was 1.4.

  • IPhone SDK - post bugs and problems with the Firmware...

    So far I'm noticing issues with the 2.0(5A225c) build of the OS.
    Everything is much slower than it used to be for one. I have a simple UIViewController with a table with only 9 text elements. It doesn't even fill the screen and it scrolls like a snail. My app runs so slow, but I can't tell if it's a performance issue in my app, or a debug firmware. Even the slider to unlock is slow and so is scrolling in all OS menus.
    I also noticed in Contacts that the fast slider on the right appears but does not respond to touches. So much for actually using my phone for the next few months. I hope they fix some of this stuff soon.
    Anyone else noticing issues?

    What a relief! I can also confirm that this build is very slow. I am writing a game called Trism (www.demiforce.com for info) which makes use of layered UIImageViews for the game pieces, scoring, borders, and so on. When beta 2 arrived, I got really disheartened because suddenly everything was moving much more slowly. I initially thought the slowdown was because of some fault in my code, which led me to learn some lower-level CoreAnimation and Quartz stuff, which has got the speed back around where it was originally.
    We can only hope the slowdown is due to new features of the OS needing to be tightened up a bit, and not as a sign of things to come. Nevertheless, I encourage other developers out there to take a look at using different implementations if need be. Specifically, if your views or text labels don't require the heavy animatable features of the UIView class, try taking a look at using the lower-level CALayer class and see if that helps your performance.

  • WRT1900AC: iTunes Sync still a problem with the firmware 1.1.8.164461

    So i *thought* the new firmware 1.1.8.164461 may have resolved the itunes sync problem, but it has not.  I have a Windows 8 PC, with iTunes 12.0.1.26 connected to a LAN port.  An iphone 5 w/ IOS 8.1.2 on the 5 GHz network.  Sometimes itunes can see the phone but it's unable to locate it while making a sync.  Or the phone can see my computer and the option is available to sync but nothing happens.  I have found that a power cycle of the router seems to resolve the issue.  I have noticed a perfomance boost with the 2.4Ghz network over the previous firmware.  I am so frustrated with this router I hope santa drops by with an ASUS in a couple weeks!

    Router Placement
    Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
    3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
    Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.
