Subject: Apple is the reason we can't have nice things.

So I've been sitting here for an hour trying to update my 4th gen Ipod touch, and then it says it's finished.

When I go confirm it says there was a restoration error and everything that was on my ipod is now gone.

What do I do.

Also, has this happened to you?

Not my first B.Net account obviously

I remember the good ol' days trying to figure out how to get iTunes music into Windows Movie Maker LOL!

But really I have no idea, and I have had my fair share of Apple problems..

iPhone 4S 64GB Black.

If you backed it up prior to the update, it'll still be there. If you didn't it's your own fault, it offered to back it up and it double warned you.

Plus, if you've got iCloud enabled, it automatically backs up all the time.

Also, if it weren't for Apple, we'd still have crap phones and computers. And everything would be ugly, cheap plastic.

And of course it's happened to me. In the average life of an iDevice, it'll be backed up and restored about one hundred times in its life. And put into recovery mode twenty times.

Not true. Apple bit off of Xerox... so it wasn't really something that can be credited to Apple alone.

Right, so now it's shiny fake plastic that's 150$ more than it should be because it has an apple logo on it. The Apple operating system is by no means the reason we have good computers now. Macs are literally overpriced pieces of UI based -blam!-. Microsoft are the real reason we have computers of this age.

I'm glad that I won't be an Apple customer once I get my new phone in July. I'm tired of them abusing the patent system.

Just because Apple was the first company that made something popular, doesn't mean they were the first company to make it.

It's your fault you didn't created a backup, cut your whining.

A bit of sensationalism, but a lot of facts as well.

Yes, I did create a backup. The problem is, every time I try to re-download my backup files it gives me an error.

Also your fault for putting it on the cloud, really.
I never put my backup on the cloud and I had no trouble updating the iOS6.

When I got this Ipod the cloud didn't even exist, and I have never heard of it up until this point.

It's his fault for using the services designed to put files on?

Quick question, where did you buy this shiny piece of fake plastic? All Apple products are primarily made out of Aluminum, which is metal...

Only 5 years old? Where could you still find a walkman 5 years ago?

So, Apple is to blame for your hardware problem?

Even though you are but one guy and they have millions of devices out there operating perfectly. YOUR device broke, and suddenly "Apple is the reason WE can't have nice things..."

OK
