APPLE'S GOT SOME FLAWS TO WORK OUT!

Everytime I connect my ipod to my computer it takes like 5 mins to do anything and my computer freezes. Then the do not disconnect display comes on and when i try and safely remove it, it says its used by another program??
EXPERIENCED PEOPLE PLEASE HELP!
Also, any time I want to move files from my two computers I plug it in like I would my flash drive and the icon never comes up under MY COMPUTER. I have it on Manually convert files so the Disk mode is always on.
Do I have to put the original cd into the computer that i'm transfering files to so that computer will recognize it?

Grant, buddy, take a deep breath. I use the same OS you do. When the ipod connects, a lot of things start happening including start up of itunes, opening the pod. Your PCs processor is pretty busy and, just like on mine, appears to freeze-up, but really is not. Also, the Ipod updating happens at a slower than expected rate. You cannot disconnect the device while updating is occuring becasue it is being "used by aanother program". With the kindest regard, I recommend just a little patience as your PC does its thing as quickly as it can.

  • TS1424 I've tried and tried and tried to change my privacy password, then emailed Apple, then got some instructions and found out I don't have a recovery email, but I don't know how to set my recovery email...help

    I've tried my hardest to figure out why I can't buy my stupid book for school, and I cannot change my privacy settings because I don't have a recovery email, and every time I press 'set my recovery email' it takes me back tithe same page, logs me in, and then I don't know where to go. And don't tell me it's in 'Password and Settings' because I have been there done that. Please help...

    I have the same problem for the past two days. It worked once and after that when I connected my Ipod again it started blinking "do no disconnect" even though itunes said that update is complete. So I did the remove hardware and ejected it and then when I reconnected it, itunes gave an error saying i need to update the software and reset the ipod to factory setting. I did that and now it is again showing the "do no disconnect" for the last 20 mins. I am giving one last try today after that it is going back to best buy. I thought apple products were better than this. Man installing Linux with dual OS was easier than using this supposedly piece of entertainment!!!

  • Apple Wireless Keyboard - some keys not working with iPhone 5

    I just bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard (2011) and paired it with my iphone 5 (iOS 7.0.3).
    All keys work except the following:
    Space bar
    Delete
    Caps Lock
    Down Arrow
    Tab
    I can understand if iOS has no concept of Tab, but Space and Delete are essential.
    Did I get a bad keyboard?

  • I have updated my Apple ID via my iPad, but my other devices still think the ID is the old one and I can't work out how to update them

    Yesterday, after discovering that the email address I used as my Apple ID was about to be deleted, I used my iPad to update my Apple ID to a new one.  Everything went fine, until I moved on to my iPhone, which is still asking me for the password for my OLD Apple ID.  I can't work out how to tell either my iPhone or my Macbook that this one is out of date and get them to change to the new one.  iTunes is changed, but the settings aren't.  Can anyone help me please?

    You haven't stuffed it, you just haven't signed out, so do that now, everywhere your old ID appears needs to be signed out of.
    Any variant of "Find My" (phone/mac/pad etc) that's signed in should be signed out.
    List what needs a sign out if you don't know how to.

  • Works out of the box... my ***

    So I'm on my second macbook. The first was determined to be DOA because of the adapter sizzle/heat/seperating casing.
    So now my second ones keyboard and trackpad randomly stop working. It usually happens when the machine is running hot, usually about 30 minutes of use. Reboots don't help. Resetting PRAM didn't help. Working in a new user account doesn't help. Still freezes while working in windows. Did an archive and install, and yep still freezes. The only thing that makes it better is to shut it down and letting it cool off. So what does this lead me to believe?? Its a hardware problem. I ran the hardware test from the CD, everything is "normal".
    So i take it into the "genius" bar, tell them my issues, he says that its probably the logic board, so he orders in the logic board and a new top case (why, i have no idea). Says they'll run a 24 hour test on it to see whats causing it.
    So I get a call today (a day later) saying they ran the machine straight for 3 hours, and it didn't happen once. So they told me theres nothing they can do about it, and that if it happens again, to call apple care (already did that before, told me to reset pram and use a different account) and to bring the case number into the store. What good does this do? The problem is still there, and they've done nothing to fix it.
    So my question is to the people who have had a similar keyboard/track pad freezing problem... has anything worked for you? When you took it in for repair what did they fix or replace??
    Second, how can apple market their products as "just working, out of the box" when so many people have had problems with them?? I was worried before I bought the macbook because of all the complaints/issues, but felt reassured when people told me that the chance of getting a faulty machine were slim... now i'm on my second macbook that still isn't working.
    Don't get me wrong, i love the mac os, and the mac software, but I'm extremely dissapointed with the quality of the mac machines... my hp laptop was much more reliable than the macbook, too bad I sold it to buy one.

    "...these guys aren't going to give you a break."
    Not sure what you mean by that Nick. All I advised was to allow Apple to take care of it.
    Beth, it does seem like you have had a run of bad luck. I don't know what to say other than call either the store and ask for the manager or call AppleCare and ask that your case be escalated to a second tier rep. Whatever you do, be calm, be firm, and be polite and I am sure that things will get taken care of.
    Do let us know how it works out. I for one am interested in how this plays out for you. Honestly.
    BTW, as an aside, it is possible that your thread is getting less views and less of a response because of the filtered language in your title. While I certainly do understand your frustration, there really is no need to be like that on a peer support forum. We are not Apple employees and your frustration with Apple is misdirected here.
    Just a thought and take it in the friendly spirit in which it is honestly intended.
    Peace.

    Transfer all of your content to the computer:
    Tunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer

    Then try turning the device off and on again. I'd leave it off for 10-15 minutes, but that is up to you:

    If the item is still there, you may need to restore the device:

    Hope that helps . Worst case scenario, you may need to write into iTunes support to see if they can also help!!

  • So i just got a new mac, and i am trying to sync my songs that i bought on itunes, and some of the worked, but a huge selection of them have a little exclamation mark beside it and it says it can't be downloaded, why?

    so i just got a new mac, and i am trying to sync my songs that i bought on itunes, and some of the worked, but a huge selection of them have a little exclamation mark beside it and it says it can't be downloaded, why?

    Hello Pork Chop 2,
    Congratulations on your new Mac!  It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them.  I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    You can find the full article here:
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

  • Work out app on my apple watch keeps pausing

    my work out app keeps pausing on my apple watch when the screen shuts off after about 45 seconds. I'd like to find out how to fix. I can't use this watch for work outs at all if it keeps doing this. Only time I got longer then that I had to hold up my arm and touch the screen every 20 seconds to keep it from going off. That kind of makes a work out hard to do and shouldn't have to do this to keep it going.

    does apple even help with the issues we have?

  • When is apple TV going have more UK content, i have no interest in American Foot Ball, its about apple got some you content provider partners BBC, SKy

    When is apple TV going have more UK content, i have no interest in American Foot Ball or other related US stuff (We have our sports here in the UK and Europe) its about time apple got some UK content provider partners BBC, SKY, or others. All the others in the market place are, Why can't you?

    If this function could be added to the Apple TV, then as you would imagine, would rock a lot of peoples world.
    You can also use the Sky player to take advantage of "multi room" with out taking a second box.  You still pay the £10 a month sub. charge but don't pay for any extra equipment which in turn makes it more profitable for Sky.
    Sky don't want you doing that though, they want to get you into a subscription with a set-top box.
    The Sky player app is for mobile use and i very much doubt Sky would be interested in give you content on the TV without using their STB.
    The content owner is king at the moment and only they will device how to make their content available. Just look at the legal issues in the US with the various mobile TV apps appearing and having channels removed.
