The new shuffle is not user friendly

I am so disappointed and frustrated with it.  I can't get my music and Podcasts to be in the device at the same time-and I have spent so much time trying different permutations of making this happen that I'm actually posting my displeasure!  I've been to 3 different computers even, with the same results.  The drag and drop feature of previous generation was great. There was no need to change that.  The instructions I can follow-but they are useless here.  I want my Podrunner music and my downloads in my device so that I can run to what I like-and it's not happening...  If my old one turns up (and I hope it does) I'm returning this thing to the store.  My daughter bought a new one too-and she also finds it a p.i.a................Apple people need to fix this........

thank god you saved me. i was going to switch to another program. itunes was barely cutting it before but the new update messed me over when i had a party to go to tommorrow. tips woulda been down the drain. i hope apple wisens up and listens to customers rather then making blatent descisions about how things should function. apple has some of he worst customer support in my opinion. their communities are more help then the tech support. very sad when a company chases customers away. thanks again though!

  • Newer version is not user-friendly

    The newer version of iTunes is not user-friendly.  I liked it the way it was 5 years ago.

    I completely agree!! I'm starting to really hate iTunes.  I bought a macbook and an iPhone so everything would sync perfectly with no problems.  I have to log into iTunes constantly for downloads and this and that...it's so annoying!! Apple is more concerned about tracking your personal information than they are about users enjoying their music.  It's just a big data collection scam.  iTunes (AND APPLE) you are on very thin ice with me.

  • I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function

    I have downloaded IOS7 on my iPhone and all calendar events have disappeared. The general functions of the calendar have changed and are definitely not 'user friendly'. How can I retrieve my calendar events. Will Apple improve the calendar function or revert to the previous system. Even the typing function on IOS 7 is faulty - very slow to respond to the keyboard. I no longer enjoy using my iPhone. Can anyone assist. Thank you

    Very strange! All of my calendar events have reappeared. This has happened one week after downloading iOS 7
    The calendar however,  is not easy to use.
    The typing function on the phone has  become even slower. Have to wait for each letter to show on screen.

  • This is old. ITunes doesnot have a support you can call to get things done.  There needs to be an easier way to contact them? The screens are not user friendly.

    Help!  I need to contact ITunes by email because they have no phones to call anyone.  The screens are not user friendly.  This makes life very diffcult.

    Click Support at the top of the page, then click Contact Us.
    Very simple.

  • I just bought the latest ipod shuffle to use with another older one. But when I tried to download updates and charge the new shuffle it is nowhere to be found. The new download is not recognized

    I just bought the latest ipod shuffle and want to put my library songs on it. Why when I tried to install the latest version of i-tunes nothing happened. My new pod is connected to my laptop USB 2.0 port but it is nowhere to be found. Why is this new shuffle pod not recognized?

    You downloaded iTunes AND installed it, right?  What you downloaded is the installer, which installs the iTunes app (and other things like drivers) on your computer.  You then have to run the iTunes app.
    If you did that already, make sure the USB docking cable's plug is completely inserted into the shuffle's headphones jack, as shown in this document
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3572
    When connected, the shuffle's light should come ON.  That indicates it is getting power.  If it blinks orange (at least initially), that indicates it is connecting for data.
    If you are good so far, in iTunes, the sidebar (along left side of window) may be hidden.  If it is, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  When the shuffle is connected, it should be listed in the sidebar, below DEVICES. Does it appear there?

  • Has anyone an e-mail address for EE. The EE site is so not user friendly.

    Has anyone got an e-mail address for EE. The EE site is so not user friendly.I found it once having clicked here there and everywhere but can not find it again.  

    Please read below Dear Sir/Madam, EE ACCOUNT 07946733914 PAY AS YOU GO I have been an EE customer since December 2014 having migrated from T-Mobile.Your website is so frustrating. The links work some of the time not all of the time, although when I want to top up it works every time. Where do I find my account number on the site? Why doesn’t it show every time I access my account? When I log in I have to press enter to be able to put in my log in detail which means I get an error message.I usually spend between £20 and £30 per year but have topped up that sum in the last 2 months. Because of that I tried to buy the £1 talk & text pack with 25 minutes and 50 texts. The site accepted all the steps but the pack has not activated.Because of this I tried to access, via my account links, View Top up History. It only shows my last top up on 25/07/2015. That is not acceptable I need to see all my top up history.On several occasions I tried to access, again through the link on my account, View Usage. I eventually got a response which showed I had texted 207 times on 31/07/2015. This inaccurate record showed these messages were to two numbers.As a result of the above just before 10am on Sunday 02/08/2015 I contacted your customer services and spoke to a male who sounded Indian. Again your help line is so frustrating over 3 minutes of select from the following to find none of them covered the help I need so I decided to select I am leaving EE. I pointed out to your representative the problems I was having and he put me on hold while he checked my account. After a minute or so he came back to me and said he would have to transfer me to someone else. Again I was put on hold and after a little while another man came on the phone. He checked with me what my call was about and then put me on hold while he checked my account. He came back on after a while and said he could see there was a problem and counted the texts I had sent since my top up on 25th. I think he said it was 43 or something like that. He then said he would have to speak to his manager about the problem and again I was put on hold After a minute or so he came back and told me his manager was very busy and his manager would phone me back. We agreed a time of 1pm that day Sunday.I am still waiting for that call.I have checked the records on my mobile phone and since I topped up on 25/07/2015 I have sent 29 text messages.So what do I need.EE to buck up and:Give me accurate recordsYour website to work every timeMy account number to show on my accountA link either from my home page or account where I get the phone number and an e-mail address at which I can contact you. Clicking on several links on the web site I did eventually find them once but have not been able to find them again.An explanation as to why your site shows I sent 207 texts on 31/07/2015.How accurate is your system.How often am I being charged for ‘Ghost texts’?Clean up your site so help means help and not just link you to something that does not help.I know I don’t spend much with you and may not be as valued to you as someone who spends a lot of money with you. But if something is worth doing it is worth doing right. The most cost effective way is to do it right the first time.I have just tried to get a copy of the detail your site gave me for 25th but now get an error message. A disgruntled customer   Ronald Lambert

  • Is there a way to go back to the old calendar system rather than the one currently in ios7?  The ios7 calendar is cumbersome and not user friendly.

    Is there a way to go back to the old calendar system rather than the ios7 calendar?  The ios7 calendar in the iphone does not allow one to see the exact time of appointments in the month mode, it is not user friendly.  It's lost its flexibility.  How can I go back to the old operating system?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

    I have had my Blackberry Curve since last spring and still do not find it user friendly.  The online guide states how to make categories for the memo pad but stops there and does not explain how to save new memos within those categories.  I go back and forth and cannot figure out how to do it.   After pressing many buttons I finally manage to get it where it belongs but have no idea how and when I try adding another go through the same thing.   I had a Palm previously; it was so easy, just make the cateogry, click on it  and then click add new.    Now I click on the category, then new memo and after that the entry goes into outer space somewhere because I cannot find it.   Just clicking save does not work.    Sometimes I can find the entire list of items in every category but cannot figure out how I did it because there is no actual option to do that.  I often wish I had gone with a different smartphone but am locked in now for another 2+ years with basically a phone but nothing else.    I am still using the smartphone part of my Palm for data, memos, etc., because it is so much easier to use; unfortunately I cannot get another battery for it so its use wll be gone when the battery does.    .I wanted a smartphone so I just had to carry one device; now I am back to carrying two, a Palm PDA and a Blackberry phone.   .      

    Actually I did get these replies in my e-mail, thanks.   However, I did finally toss the Blackberry and got an iPhone.  It is so much easier to use, right out of the box I was able to  make calls whereas it took me some considerable time to figure out how to even do that with the BB.     And the Memo section on it great, very easy to use, not to mention the other basic apps like calendar and contacts.   Very user friendly.    .  

  • 0 for 2.. New Shuffle will not work

    After buying a new shuffle yesterday, I got home, launched iTunes and used the check for updates and updated to the new 7.0.2 version. I then connected the new shuffle and nothing happened. I shutdown McAfee, rebooted the machine, restored the shuffle, numerous time and nothing happened. I am running Windows XP and none of my USB ports are the issue. I have a 3G 40GB that works on all of the ports. I have also made sure that neither the docking station, nor my other iPod were connected.
    The shuffle appeared to be charging (blinking orange light), however neither iTunes, nor Windows recognized the device. I did notice that every few minutes, my computer would make that initial noise that is typically made when I plug my other iPod in, but nothing ever happened. I returned the unit to Best Buy and exchanged it for another one and I am having the same problems.
    I have seen too many problems with other Windows users to think it is something with my machine. I have already spent nearly 5 hours between the two iPods trying to get it to work and if I cannot get help here, I am going to return the unit for a refund.

    I reset the iPod, not restore. Sorry. I followed the Reset, Retry, Restart and Reinstall steps a few times but I cannot do restore because iTunes is not recognizing the iPod.
    I also followed the steps for altering MSCONFIG and my machine still does not recognize the iPod. If I disconnect the new shuffle and plug my 3G iPod in, iTunes has no problems recognizing it.
    I am using the USB ports on the motherboard (back of the machine). I also have two more USB ports (2.0) on the front and a 6 in 1 media reader that has two USB ports, secure digital and flash reader. My old iPod works in all of those ports, however I typically use it on one of the ports on the back. I am attempting to use my Shuffle on the same port that my old iPod uses (I simply disconnected my old iPod).

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • Are the new MB Pros, not Titanium? Are all the MB Pros made in China?

    Hi, I keep hearing people referring to their old MAC BOOKS as Titanium Versions, does this mean that the new MBP are not Titanium? As a matter of interest what is the difference in the new Body of the MBP compared to their original 1G PowerBook G4?
    Also are all the MBP everyone is buying or have bought recently and in the past, Made in China? Another question just for curiosity sake.
    Thanks....

    China just helps to make the stuff... Apple in California just gives designs and makes a little bit of it's stuff that makes the macs stuff work.
    The Macbook Pro only about 50 % is made from China just like iPods, MP4's well pretty much everything is made from China.. my friend went there.. well I went with him and were only 13 ^_^ well we bought a lot of stuff that was soo cheap.. and high quality things. I find that it's cheaper to live there but I found out you have to pay more taxes if you EVER have kids.
    Ok well back to what you wanted to know.. the macbook air, pro and macbook they are just regularly made from China and California.... Some of their stuff is very cheap and isn't very good... you don't need to worry the apple technical support does EVERYTHING and you can always return it
    I am glad to help you if you EVER need anything.

  • Why is the new CC Library not included in Indesign ?

    Hello,
    Why is the new CC Library not included in InDesign ?
    It works great between Photoshop and Illustrator but now I really miss this feature in Indesign.

    Don't know why, but CC Library is a totally different thing compared with InDesign's own library format stored in *.indl files. So I suggest, that you'll make a feature request here:
    Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    Hope, that it will work again today. Heard, some users had problems with the bug report form yesterday…
    (For the "why": Sometimes the developer teams of the individual CC products do not talk to each other that much, I think.)

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod        
    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?
