Today, I took my iPod to Walmart to replace the battery. They tell me to call Apple. I go home again and call Apple. They tell me to call Walmart. I call Walmart. They tell me to bring it in. FML

Today, I went to the Apple store to try and figure out what's going on with my iPhone. After an hour of speaking to three different geniuses and waiting around, their solution was to "Google it." FML

Today, I called my cell phone tech support to help with my Samsung device. They sent me contact info for Apple support. FML

Today, it was my big sister's birthday, and I was told the iPod I ordered her online was not coming due to a mix up. I drove to three different electronic stores before I found the one she wanted. After spending forever in traffic, I came home to find a package on my doorstep. It was her iPod. FML

Today, I've spent far too long on hold to Apple customer support. Unfortunately the only thing to come from it is I now have "Call me maybe" stuck in my head. FML

Today, I took my new iPhone into a technician to complain that when people called me, the audio was very quiet and muffled. Convinced it was a fault, I demanded a replacement. That is when he peeled off the factory issued protective screen that covered the ear piece. FML

Today, my iPod came back from repair and still had a distorted sound. I've been through calls, meetings, and repairs with Apple since Christmas, and it still sounds like the half speaker in my old car. Then I found out the new Nano requires you to push the headphones plug in harder. FML

Today, I stood in line for one hour to get a new phone. It then took me 2 minutes to drop it and shatter the screen, and 2 seconds for the employee to look at, laugh, and tell me, "That Sucks." FML

Today, my dad and I had a yelling match about me "lying", because I was unable to contact iTunes support without a phone number. To prove a point, he went online to find the phone number. It's been an hour and he's still searching for the number. I can't leave the table until he has found it. FML

Today, I was going to the bathroom at work. Since I knew it would take a while, I brought my iPod in for entertainment. To bad it disabled me from hearing the continuous knocks on the door as well as the manager eventually picking the lock and busting in. FML

Today, after calling the insurance plan for my new iPhone a "huge waste of money", I promptly dropped it in the store while trying to put it into my pocket, cracking the screen. FML

Why would you take it to Wal-Mart? it has long been a common discussion about the fact that the battery in an iPod can ONLY be replaced by Apple! YDI for being so stupid!

Wonderful that they finally got that cleared up. So Apple referred you to Walmart? That's news. Oh, and you're stupid for buying an Apple product. How dumb can people be for purchasing a product that requires you send it in for a battery replacement. Yes, I'm one of those people, my daughter talked me into it. I then later found out it would cost me nearly $200 to send it to them as we don't have a store around here. I will never buy another product from Apple.

Ummmm Isn't an APPLE I pod rechargeable by plugging it into your computer ???I don't think they have regular batteries. I'v never heard of that. I think someone is pulling your leg....... I have had mine for about 4 years now and haven't had any problems with it. When it's dead I plug it into my computer and it charges right up.

51 take it easy. Some people don't know that rechargeable batteries don't last forever.

After a while the battery life gets depleted though, depending how often you use it. You can take it in to Apple to have it taken care of, but they just swap the iPod. They don't actually open it up and replace the battery.
