I bought a shiny new third-generation Ipod Touch to replace my ageing old first-generation Touch about a week ago, and iTunes has been nothing but a headache ever since.
My iTunes install on my desktop would refuse to sync across any of my applications. I tried replacing the cable, restoring my device, deleting and redownloading individual apps... nothing worked.
It's fair to say that my first two hours with it were met with nothing but frustration and purchase regret, and that's a really bad way to get started.
I ended up installing iTunes on my laptop, and at first, everything was ok. It would actually sync across my purchased games to the device, which was exactly what I wanted.
That lasted a couple of days. Then it would never actually finish sync'ing. Replacing the cable (again) has fixed the problem, but I must admit, I'm starting to find myself wondering just what the next problem with this shit is going to be.
Apple's hardware is great. Truly, very great. It looks good, it's well-designed, fast, comfortable... all in all, it's great to own. Unfortunately, the software team are definitely letting the side down, and it's made what should've been a pleasurable experience a right pain in the arse.
