I don't know what the hell you are doing with your apple products then. I have an iPod that lasted me 5 years. I sold it, because i got an iPod touch, so I am sure it is still alive.

Apple products aren't invincible.
I used the living shit out of my iPods. I had 2 "classic" iPods in which both hard drives died at roughly 1-1/2 to 2 years of age. I also had an iPod Touch where the menu button would work about 60% of the time.
Their computers I can't vouch for, since I built my PC custom. Like a boss.

Ive never had an issue with an Apple product in terms of stability.
Have had my MacBook for 3 years and it's still running like brand new.. iPod touch is 1 1/2 years old and has been dropped plenty of times, yet still runs great.. Just got my iPad, so I can't speak on that quite yet..

Must have been a user error.
I agree...nothing is invincible.
My 30g ipod classic died on me a few months ago. It lasted 4 years so I wasn't too pissed.

Mine is also completely dead. I've been looking at cheap ones on eBay, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Anyone know why mine won't run off the battery for more than a minute? Its barely a year old and shows fully charged battery when I take it off the charger. Its a 13" Macbook

I'd attend to that, if I were you.

of course something I have always loved about Safari
when watching a youtube vid. Go to activity and you will see the video file downloading. usually the largest file. Simply click the file progress and it will save the video to your desktop or downloads folder.

Charger could be broke. I've had this happen on phones before. Get ye to an Apple store or something and see if they can tell you what's up.bases_loaded;679489 wrote:Anyone know why mine won't run off the battery for more than a minute?
