Why do I even bother??? New iPod; Same Nonsense

Sorry for venting, but I'm so da*n tired of Apple. I finally gave up on older iPod classic as it was unstable for about a year before finally giving up.
I just bought the new iPod Classic 80 gb. Every time I connect it to iTunes, I get a message that says "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
So I go through the whole process of restoring it - and it seems to be doing it - only to come up with the same message as above. This has happened at least 10 times.
As background: NO, I haven't otherwise handled the iPod; it's new in the box. YES, I completely wiped the old iTunes off my computer; and downloaded the latest version of it. In other words, it's a clean version of iTunes.
HELP; PLEASE. I'm totally on my last legs with Apple. Their BS about being stable, dependable, etc., is nothing but a bunch of BS marketing cr*p.
Thanks

Why did Apple make the new iPod unable to use Griffin iTalk or iTrip?

I was so disappointed when I upgraded to the new 5th gen. iPod and was unable to use the accessories I purchased for my previous iPod. Am I missing something? What am I supposed to do? Is there an attachment that will make them usable? Why would Apple make a new iPod that wouldn't include the same connector?

See below your so-called answer to my question.
I also noticed you have marked it solved. If, as a moderator, you can say that your response was considerate of the people using the system then I guess it was solved. If I was to mark it I would say the reply was very condescending and thus worthy of a 1 out of 10 as far as a reply goes. In the future please do not answer my posts as I would like to be treated with a little respect as I'm sure you would like. Please get some other Mod who can perhaps relate to a person's concern. Your answer may be correct but your way of putting it across sounds like some of the 13 year old school children I use to teach.
You have a good day.

Why do we even bother any longer?

I posted the below in another thread... However, I thought it deserved a thread of its own, so... How long this will last before being either:
1/ Locked
2/ Removed
3/ Or whatever...
...is a moot point.
Anyway, here's the content of that post:
"You know, why do we even bother any longer?
Maybe we should all just call it a day. That's what they seem to want. Those of us who still want to hang around in the product forums... do that. For the rest, this whole thing has become a joke.
Between the bannings, locked threads, deleted posts... it's worse than a kindergarden. At least, in a kindergarden, if someone cries there's a helping hand. Here, it's the opposite.
So, in all seriousness, maybe we should all call it a day and move on. Visit the individual product forums if we want... impart and absorb what we can... and leave it at that. The old forums are never going to come back.
And what we have here is no longer a joke. It's a nightmare.
End of story...."
To this, i'd lack to add a simple fact. Despite what the jived up software has done to these forums, the mods here have effectively murdered this one.
The product forums carry on... with about a fraction of the involvement there was earlier... but are still working in a half-a$$ed fashion. Thanks to a few stalwarts.
This forum, which should be the main 'turbulence centre', the forum that keeps everyone on their toes, that tells the powers-that-be what is wrong, is being turned / has been turned into a vanilla flavour of saccharine sweetness.
The jokers and clowns that masquerade as mods sems to have won the day. And, a sad day it is...
Ciao folks... wonder if i'll still be here tomorrow...

To me, the stated issues have not been a problem, but that is just me, and probably due primarily reflective of the particular product fora, that I frequent.
To me, and resulting in the same conclusion, it's more about being able to use the fora to instruct others. That is being compromised, IMO, and is resulting in major frustrations.
OK, this is a bit of a rant, but a mild one. The Adobe product fora do a better job of solving user's problems, than T/S is currently capable of. These fora do the "heavy-lifting," and many more problems are solved.
I do not know the costs of these fora vs the cost of outsourced T/S, but in regards to success, I think that we are way, way ahead. We are doing what T/S once was capable of. Also, there is no direct cost for our services. There are no benefits. Other than being invited to be a beta tester on several programs, Adobe has never offered me anything. Even then, when the program was released, I was not even offered a discount. Still, I do this, 'cause I like to help others, and have been a loyal Adobe user for decades.
However, Adobe (and probably Jive) seem to be working at cross-purposes. They keep making it more difficult for many of use to help other users. Why? I have not a clue. Were I in management, I would look around and would comment that our company has this great asset - knowledgable users, who volunteer their time, to do what we pay T/S for. Why not help them, help others? Makes sense to me, but then I have been out of "corporate US" for many, many years.
Just my take,
Hunt

Why no firewire support for new iPods?

If firewire is so much better and faster why did the geniuses at Apple decide to discontinue support for it? It took me over 30 minutes to upload music & videos to my new iPod w/ USB, which would have taken 5-10 minutes with Firewire. I don't get it!

They did it because they obviously didn't see the need for it.
Either you have a usb 1.1 port, or have about 500mb of music. The speeds aren't that different between USB2.0 and FW. In fact, i think USB is faster. Stop complaining here, this is only a user-user support forum.

New ipod, same apps and music

I recently lost my ipod when it fell in water, I am purchasing a new one of the exact same type with more memory. All of my music and apps I purchased are on my account, how do i put them on my new ipod?

You can re download purchased content using the same Apple ID for free.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Why earphone without mic with new iPod Touch 4g?

I am die-hard fan of Apple products. Have recently bought iPod Touch 4th Gen. But failed to understand why did Apple ship micless-earphones with new iPod Touch?
iPod Touch 3rd Gen used to have earphone with mic and remote buttons.
I know, new iTouch has inbuilt mic, but since mic & volume controls are missing on earphones, I can't talk wih my handsfree! just because the mic is on iTouch panel.
Disappointed!!
Any chances for Apple to get this earphone replaced for new iPod Touch owner?

You can purchase the headphones with mic here:

Best of luck.

Why won't my BRAND NEW iPod Nano 7th Generation recognize headphones?

My BRAND NEW iPod Nano 7th Generation (purchased from and Apple Store less than a week ago) will not recognize any headphones. Consequently, I can hear NO sounds. It worked just fine right after I set it up. I turned it off, disconnected headphones that came with the Nano. Several hours later I turned it on again, plugged in the headphones, and then I could hear NOTHING. When I tried the radio, I got the message there was no signal because it said the headphones were not plugged in, which they were. I have tried two other sets of headphones. None work, but they all work in another iPod, so I know it is not the headphones. I restored the software and started over, but this didn't help either. I have pushed the headphone jack in as far as possible. This is very frustating because this Nano was a birthday gift for my husband. I will be grateful for any help. Thanks a lot.

Thanks SO much for the GREAT advice! I did just what you said, and I am back in business. The sound is fine, and the radio works. I cleaned out the jack with a tooth pick, blew some air in, and pushed the jack in a bit harder.I guess I was too tentative about pushing the jack all the way in. You were right that it is a tight fit. Thanks again, deggie. My husband thanks you also! His birthday gift now works! Yay!

Stolen ipod, new ipod, same warranty?

My ipod touch was stolen last week, pretty lame but i've moved on. I'm thinking of buying a new ipod touch from a friend. I have bought warranty for my last ipod, and was wondering if it's possible to transfer that warranty to the new ipod?

No.
Applecare follows the ipod, not the person.
Sorry.

HT4859 why when i installed my new ipod with icloud did all my music go off my itunes?

I Previously bought a new iPod and I installed it on my iTunes with iCloud but when I recently went onto iTunes most of my music has gone but it's all ok on my iPod because of iCloud, how do I transfer it all onto my iTunes again? Thanks

If you are using iTunes Match, your music should already be in your iTunes library. If you aren't, you can transfer music purchased from the iTunes store from your iPod to your iTunes library by first authorizing your computer for all Apple IDs used to purchase the music in Store>Authorize This Computer, then connecting the iPod to your computer and in iTunes going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
If you no longer have the old iPod, you'll have to redownload your previoulsy purchased music from the iTunes store, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

WHY!!! Brand new IPod doesn't work.

I bought a brand new 30 gb Ipod to replace my old Ipod that won't work anymore. Now this one won't work. It is a couple of days old! I installed the software and put some music on the ipod. I have ipod speakers and the ipod works fine on them. It works fine when plugged into the computer. As soon as I take the ipod off a power source it fades until the screen is blank and then it will not respond until I plug it back in. Ive tried everything. Reset the ipod, let the battery drain completely nothing works. The battery says fully charged but it only works plugged into the computer or another power source. Please help! I have restored reset I've done everything. This is just opened from the packaging. Why is ipod equiptment so fragile? If it can't be fixed how do I get a refund because I now have to Ipods that don't work.

And your iPod just doesn't do anything if it's not connected to an external power source? This is interesting. Toggle your Hold switch (on, off, on, off), and follow these reset instructions:
0. Make sure your Hold switch is off.
1. Lay your iPod down on your computer desk.
2. Connect your iPod to your computer (if it's not already).
3. Use your pointer finger from your left hand, and press down on the Menu button.
4. Wait a few seconds.
5. Use your pointer finger from your other hand, and press down on the Select button.
6. Hold them down together until the Apple logo appears.

Why isn't my brand new iPod touch turning on?

I just got a brand new 4th generation 32 gb iPod touch and when I press the power button to turn it on, nothing happens. I plugged it into my computer to charge it because I thought the battery was dead but when I try charging it, nothing happens either. There's no apple logo or anything. Do I have to leave it charged for a specific amount of time for it to start working, or do I need to return it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

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 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.

Differences in LC2 and LC3 even both currencies are same

Hi Experts,
I hope everyone is doing well. I have an issue with Local Currency2 and Local Currency3.
Here my issue is when I post an invoice using Transaction Code MIRO the amount in Local Currency2 (USD) and Local Currency3 (USD) is different even though both the currencies are USD. Please find the below example.
Pstg Key Account   A/c Short Text      Amt in L Cur L Curr         LC2 Amnt                  LC3 Amnt
     31        234567    Venodor Account         9.137,26-    AUD       6.708,58- (USD)      6.708,58 (USD)

     83        556321     Ex Rate Var Settle            0,00     AUD       6.098,71 (USD)           0,00 (USD)

Local Currency : AUD,   Local Currency2: USD,   Local Currency3: USD
In the above stated example there is no problem for the accounts 234567 and 586974. But for the accounts 568568 and 556321 the amounts are different. There should not be any exchange rate difference postings i.e to account 556321. I am not able to find out how it is posting to exchange rate variance settlement account (556321). Please help me what could be the reason for these differences.
Thanks and Regards,

New ipod/same computer

I'm totally ignorant around tech stuff, so please forgive!! My 13 y.o son has destroyed his ipod classic. I am getting him a new one and want to know how to establish the new one with his existing library and itunes store account without having to create a whole new one.
This is possible...right??
Thanks

This is possible...right?
Yes. Just plug it in and sync it.

Why won't my brand-new iPod Touch connect via BlueTooth in my Volvo? My old one did!

Very interesting, but frustrating, too. The iPod shows (in Settings): Bluetooth On; devices--cell phone (not paired); MacBook (not paired). Nothing about the car. In the car, it wants me to punch in a four-digit code. HOW? Where?
This is crazy because my old iPod does this.
Anyone have a clue?

The iPod will not pair with a computer. The iPod will only pair with yur car is your car supports one of the BT profiles that is supported by the iPod
iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
Does the manufacturer of the car system say it will work with your model iPod and its iOS?
