OK i have been a long time apple fan but lately they are getting worse. There products are good but i hate the phone support.

What your experience with apple. No windows only people please. Though they have been nice to me some and replace almost everything Apple i own including a Mac Pro.

I prefer Windows operating systems over Macs. I've been having to use the Macs at my school recently and I really think some things are more of a hassle. Not to mention Microsoft Office for Macs suck.

That and I've never been one to shell out big bucks for something I can get cheaper.

I love my MacBook and numerous iPods. I've been around Macs for a while but took the initiative and bought my MacBook this September. I've loved it. I own four Windows machines at home so I can use Windows if I have to for a specific thing (Publisher, for example). Macs I find easier to use really - I can store our large music, picture and video collections with ease. It also is more intuitive and 'just works'. I can get things done faster on here than a Windows computer.

I haven't had to deal with Customer Service yet but Apple's is ranked highly according to surveys. I guess it depends on which person you talk to.

As I've said many many many times in tech discussion, almost everything Apple makes is quality. Despite if its overkill, overpriced, or if competitors have better features, all my experiences have been good with Apple. Mac Classic, works fine. PowerBook G4, still use it today. Ipod Nano 2nd gen, perfect.

I do admit Apple has many faults though.

Office on mac isn't to bad now with office 2008

I own numerous ipod and mac both including a iphone there great products when they work when they dont and you have to deal with customer support i hate them then.



Lucky you then i love there products but hate the customer support.

lol i hate apple. it just tries to make u like it by makin it shiny and glass like u kno wat i mean? but its crap and u can only use mac stuff and no other programs.

crraaapppp

I'm a mac through and through :-)

They're very simple yet fast and sexy consistent. AppleScript is very good for simple commands.

Yet I agree, their customer support if fail.

no they have some of the most powerful software avabiable like Final Cut Pro it is used in professional Hollywood Movies and Microsoft Office To.

thats 2. and thats only the programs. not macs. im saying macs are rubbish. they try to woo you in with shiny stuff and it turns out to be crap. and you can only use mac programs.

so what if they got final cut pro. only professionals will use it. home users wont pay a million $ just for something u can easily use windows movie maker for.


im just saying macs are crap. and if all you can answer back with is that, well, you need to go out and buy summat new bro.

Have you even been on a mac? Or are you just jealous?

~Magical

No you can rune windows software via bootcamp vmware or parrels and im a home user and i use fcp and windows movie cant do anything near then what it can do.

Well, since I've only had iPods I can't really comment. My first iPod Mini died out of warranty and they tried to fix it but they couldn't...wasn't really mad about that.

I MIGHT be getting a MacBook tomorrow, looking foward to that.

Really never saw you like mac. The minis never did sell they only had 1 gen of them.

I don't have a bad experience with apple customer support. They replaced my keyboard and battery for free.

Please tell us if you do :-) Then we can stop luring you in with our fake cookies =]

Hey didn't have any bad experience with customer service just that his ipod did.



What kind of keyboard did you have the apple keyboard also looks like more people had bad or worst ever experiences with apple.

It was my onboard macbook pro keyboard. it was my fault.


Also, could you please be more clear, your sentences make little to no sense to me.

Yeah I totally agree here. I have never had a problem with all my 10 years of owning a Mac (well longer if you count me not buying my first few).


Ironic that Drolleke has a better grasp on English that you .

Kinda because Mini became Nano

Also, only customer support encounter I've had I just posted on their support forums, and a whole bunch of people fixed it, fast.

Sorry typed it on a phone. Wierd that they replaced it since it was your fault.

frankly i think mac and apples are Crap!
1.there only combatible with 32% (around that mark) of hardware out there
2.there not that strong PC's
3.there add's are attacking microsoft (mite i add that microsoft is rich and i dont like em that much either :lol:)
some good things
1.good work computers
2.awesome phones!
3.awesome ipods!
4.they have an apple! :lol:

Never had a problem using iMac's. Only problem for me is their other ranges. Macbooks are wicked I don't understand why not more of the market are going towards the macbook style of things, high battery life, fast processor and portable. (only seen samsung do this)

iPods are kinda meh... each generation doesn't seem to add much new(especially 3g-4g nano) and they still don't address their old problem which is the batteires used.

Yeah kinda wish they had better battery life just git used to it now. Personally ive never used a imac for long periods of time though.

I love my iMac, except for its difficulty to play games such as Maplestory, Gunbound etc. Which it cant, the phone support is great they have always solved my problems. What is your problem u asked to help with?

Lets just say this when they look over my records i dont get a call back for 2 to 3 hours, oh and there bad records on their part mine part is good. OK.

Never dealed with them, and will never do it either.
The brands i trust in mobile is Nokia.
And in computers its the normal brands. (HP and others)
At photo its HP and Canon, but mostly Canon.
I wouldnt buy a Mac or iPhone or iPod, in MY opinion its only crap.
But you can think what you think, anyway i like Windows too much to change to other OSs.
To get Mac for me would be HORRIBLE, and the reason i dont buy their products is because they have a tooooooo overpriced, killing price.

The reason why Mac only have around 33% is because not many develop to it, and they havent released any program to code in Mac-code or whatever its named.
Windows has a collection to choose from, Visual Studio for C, C#, C++, J.., VB, VB.net.
Thats a good supported developing-community for anyone to try on, which makes it crowded with programs.
The other UNIX systems holds about 5% of it maybe, not completely sure but its very little.

On the coding you are so wrong xcode is by apple allowing developers to code iphone apps mac apps whatever they plese and even dashboard items.

I love my ipod but itunes is so anoying :\

I think they have bad customer service... I also prefer Microsoft OS's than Macs, but you have to admit, the portables are great.

I agree that phone support needs serious help, but online support is awesome. They have Live Chat and everything there.
