Today, I received a $50 iTunes card for my birthday. I immediately sat down at my computer and starting buying all my newest favorites. Then I realized I never redeemed my card so the $50 was all charged to my account. FML

Easy fix, sell the card for what it's worth, then use that money to pay off the account charges. You lose no money, and the card was made useful.

because jailbreaking your iPod can **** it up.

no it ***** up the software

No it doesn't. It modifies the software which allows the files to be edited to allow unsupported software to be installed.

You don't need a jailbroken iPod to get free music anyway. But I have had several iPod touches and iPhones jailbroken and have not had any problems at all.

listen to what you just said haha "unsupported software" not only does it void your warranty but it a direct way to cause major damage to the operating system because of the root

Yep. You only need to jailbreak for cracking apps and tweaks. I've jailbroke all my iDevices ever since I got them, and no problems. iPod Touch 2 in September, 2009, iPod Touch 4 in October 2010, iPad in November 2010 and iPhone 4 in March 2011, all of them are still jailbroke with no problems at all.

it will eventually **** up the phone and software..I have a friend who kept tryin to get me to jailbreak my phone and I wouldn't do it..he jailbroke his..it got shut off three times before he just got a new phone. it was shut off for violating the contract and terms of use.

That's why you don't install stuff on 3G ;)

jailbreaking your iPod can screw it up but even if it does it won't be that bad

47 He obviously didn't know what he was doing then. And if you ever do have a problem with the phone you can ALWAYS restore it and if needed take it back to the apple store because once you restore it, they can't tell if you jailbroke it.

59, if it's so badly messed up you need to bring it back to apple, chances are it won't be able to be restored, and apple won't fix it

yea you guys are idiots when you jailbreak an idevice you can always restore it and they have no way of telling if it was even jailbroken and it only ***** up your phone if you are an idiot

66 I have even heard of an iPod messing up so bad that you can't restore it. So obviously the chances of that happening are slim to none. There's probably a better chance of the battery blowing up.

drew is the one of the only few who know this.

blowing up? wow you are retarded haha just cause 3 people have no problems on pure dumb luck means nothing, you don't nothing anything of the operating system obviously yet you keep talking, and you look like your 12 so sorry if I don't take anything you say seriously kid

89, you assume I even own an apple product! ha! I never said anything about supporting apple, I'm only talking about jailbreaking which you can do to any device. And that ots ******* stupid. who's the ignorant moron now??

a_nutritionist 10

am i the only one wondering why the **** wmsdumbstep has every apple device and updates every single year? who gets the new itouch every time it comes out...? something tells me his parents paid for all this crap.

If you don't even own an apple device then wtf are you arguing about what jailbreaking does to ones idevice. You dont own one so nothing in your arguments can be taken valid for there is no proof to verify your "facts" on what happens to jailbroken products.

97, haha exactly the only people who claim jail breaking works also just happen to have a shit load of devices what a waste!

101, apple isn't the only operating system that can be jail-broken, I just said that! it has nothing to ****** do with apple!

Clarkie, don't get so worked up. It's only a comment chain.

as soon as i read the original comment i knew a shitload of jailbreaking guys would come and argue about ******* and not ******* up ur phonw/device. my bro jailbroke his ipod 2, no problems so far. he even restored it back (idk y) but then he jailbroke it again and its still good

although jailbreaking IS legal, it's just frowned upon.

113, sry but it's hard to deal with so much ignorance at once, gets to me you know lol

I jailbroke my iPhone haven't had any problems yet.. probably because I know what the **** I am doing.. It's really not that complicated.

117- "sry but it's hard to deal with so much ignorance at once" You just failed hardcore, unless you were talking about yourself.

47-well your friends a dumass

clarkie, jailbreaking means rooting. If you know anything about the Linux/UNIX operating system at all, you'd know that rooting means gaining complete control over the system. Just because you type "su" in the Terminal doesn't mean you're going to immediately **** something up, only idiots who doesn't know what they're doing can.

clarkie007: you are an idiot! FYL! you speak of things you know nothing about. you dont even have a iDevice to speak from experience. i have JB so many devices, not one did I have problems with. also, what they **** did you mean by "major damage because of the root"? Damn, you are an IDIOT! FAIL!

I jailbroke my 3G, performance improved at first, then it slowly went to the shitter, that and nothing was really polished (well, some of it was) and the springboard kept crashing unjailbroke it and continued with life

sorry to interrupt but what does any of this have to do w/ the FML

I really enjoyed this one....... cause I've did it before lol, on the bright side, now you will be able to get $100 worth of new songs to listen to :)

Korsakov 0

or you could torrent everything instead of spending money on songs.

Now you need to go and buy a $100 gift card to make up for it!

Pirating is where it's at nowadays, nerd

108, because I don't have illegal music suddenly I'm square? haha ok then

I can tell from all of your comments on this page who loves abiding by all the rules like one of those goody goodies. Haven't you heard? Rules are meant to be broken!

It's to show support for your favourite artists, so that they'll be inspired to make more songs and stuff. I sometimes buy music if i really like the artist to show my support.

patacus 14

if no one bought it record labels wouldnt make money and there would be less music being made. plus if you like a band dont you think they deserve support?

tk1235 0

your out numbered here, more ppl get music free off frostwire and programs like that than buy off iTunes

iluffmcrandbvb 1

everyone except you, apparently.

To clarkie. Downloading music is legal in certain countries such as Canada.

This is why I have my iTunes account set up to get purchases from iTunes gift cards only, no way in hell am I putting my credit card on there. YDI for not making sure that the card was fully redeemed.

same, I mark none in the payment section.

ibitehard 9

If I had a credit card on my iTunes account, I would be in so much debt lol I would have to sell my car, I wouldn't get a lot for it though, there is a pumpkin super glued to it :3 lol I'm stupid, don't listen to me

145 I see what you did there (older fml post)

SeedlessMe 13

Sorry, but you pretty much deserve that.. Not saying I'm anywhere near perfect, but if you have money in your itunes account, it shows it right on the screen. ..Pretty sure it also shows the balance after anytime I make a purchase.

Amazon has cheaper songs and CDs. I could never spend $50 dollars on iTunes. YDI, silly.

If someone gave you an iTunes gift card, you could.
