Why am I bothering with this utter crap?

I was so excited to get ipod touch for xmas. 2 weeks later the apps wouldn't open - data corruption. I don't know why exacly. Could of been an app corrupted during d/l and the corruption spread? (Can't remember if this problem started after the troublesome app)

Fast forward to today. I decide to sync it to my new laptop. I tested my ipod nano and it detected fine, it ejected fine. It's not even synced to this laptop.

Tried my ipod touch. Seemed okay. It couldn't sync it right so, okay.. restart comp, oh but ofc I did eject it. Waited for 2 mins, how odd it didn't tell me to eject from ipod? Well according to itunes it seemed ejected (no eject symbol). Took it out, restarted comp.

Then I plugged it back in and seemed to sync with no error message. (FYI I backed up before I restarted) None of the apps opened again, yes I did try the useless hard reset. This just rendered all apps unable to open. Oh well, atleast I backed up!.............. nope. Failed backup message.

Before you ask it was the correct itunes. Up to date and for my 64bit system. I mean it handled the ipod nano fine.

Wow! Don't get me wrong, I do love the handiness of the ipod. Love the apps, but this is depressing.
