I have some possible explinations to your problems, in order of likelihood:Westside said:This is the fifth time that my ipod got completely destroyed. Itunes got forzen and the ipod will not respond. Itunes is a slow ass and terrible software to begin with, I have no clue why so many people like this software, SonicStage from Sony was bad, but it was a million times better than that PIECE OF SHIT itunes.I rather eat a piece of horse shit rather than dealing with this f*cked up shit. F*ck you steve jobs, you dirty nazi!!! How is he making so much off such shitty hardware and software?????? I only have this ipod to show off in front of my friends, it dies within months because of hard disk failure. This is my FIFTH TIME!!!! Don't they have quality control???!!?!?!
-You have dementia and also believe your iPod can double as a tennis ball.
-The curse I put on your computer using my powers of wizardry is kicking in.
-You're running a 500mhz computer with 64mb of RAM. And you uploaded a virus intentionally to your ipod.
-You bought an ipod clone.
-You are very impatient and very quick to jump to conclusions about a new thing if you have any bad luck with it.
-You were fool enough to install Hackintosh and are having problems. (Nah, he would never understand it.)
The mac line of software and hardware is the best I have ever used. iTunes is one of, if not the best application of it's kind. The iPod excels in it's field. Those six up top are my best explanations. Particularly the top and bottom. By the way, I assume horse shit is your favorite food. One more thing. iTunes sucks for windows. It pwns for mac. As for the supposed horrible startup times, Mine starts up instead of 10 seconds. Not bad considering the complexity of the program.
