Confuse and frustrated

My mom recently got an ipod shuffle, we went throught all of the approriate steps to setting it up and adding music to i tunes, when the ipod was ready to coe out of the port there was no music, and the computer sayd that it doesn't need to be reformatted. We can't figure it out.
Please help us get it working.
thank you so much.

When you click on the shuffle in the iTunes Source List, are the songs visible in the main pane?
If yes (and there are no icons next to the track numbers) the songs are on the shuffle. At that point, you'd want to check the headphones on a known device to make sure they work, or check known good headphones on the shuffle to see if a signal is getting to the headphones.
Good luck

Confused and frustrated

hi.
i purchased an 80g ipod last week so i could put my massive selection of cds on to it.
this is where the confusion starts.
my laptop doesnt have the massive memory of the ipod.
it got to a set amount of transfering, then it said it couldnt transfer anymore due to my laptop memory and disc space was full.
ive done all i can to free up space , but its never enough.
does that mean i cant transfer ALL my cds because my laptop isnt big enough??
do i need to buy a new laptop with a bigger memory and disc space so i can transfer my cds?? which i cant afford to do.
have got my settings wrong ??
help help help
yours confused and a little frustrated
si
p.s. im know nothing at all about computers, so please use little words to explain . thanks all

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.
However, storing music on your iPod and nowhere else is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this about backing up media.
How to back up your media in iTunes.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
The iPod is not reliable enough to use it as a long term storage device, and these forums are littered with posts from people who decided to use it as such and ended up losing all their music.

Re: skype is the most confusing and frustrating in...

I can't help but agree. I tried to sign up my wife via her android ... totally frustrated by the unforgiving convoluted security hoops ... too easy to enter skype name or password too many times and get blocked for 24 hours, or suddenly have too many recovery codes per day and be blocked again and now I read your payment issues and I begin to wonder, is this service really worth the trouble. If there are that many users out there trying to penetrate and scam the system, perhaps one shouldn't use it anyway!

Hi, CharlotteSonoda, and welcome to the Community,
Skype does not host a customer service call-center; nor does Skype use a generic or central e-mail address; instead, Skype employs a website web-form process to reach their customer service unit. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service You would need to contact Skype Customer Service for questions related to your subscriptions.
If you have not used Skype in a while, remember we need to download and install the Skype sofware onto our computer/device first: Download Skype
I arranged to merge two of your posts into a single thread (topic). This is a great refresher course on how to navigate the Skype software: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA11099/finding-your-way-around-skype-windows-desktop

If you have further questions, when you post back, in order for the Skype Community to help you, some more information would be helpful:
- Hardware use (laptop/phone/tablet brand and model)
- Operating system (version and updates installed)
- Skype version used

Skype number / Subscription confusion and frustrat...

Hi,
I signed up for a skype number two years ago and I've been using one since. During my first and second years, calls within the United States were included with the number. I just renewed and it and I can't make any calls within the United States so it seems like this is no longer the case. What exactly do you get with a Skype number, free incoming calls?
I'm pretty frustrated right now. If that is all you're offering with this service then it's been a waste of my money, because I could just forward my cell calls to my google talk account for FREE. So, please tell me what I've just paid for, how I can get my mobile and land line calls at no additional charge, and, if nothing else, how it can be refunded (yes I did read the fine print).

Hello Jeff and welcome to the Skype Community! I've just looked at your account and your calls are failing because you don't have a Subscription nor credit. Skype Numbers have been a standalone product for some time now.
1. A Skype Number is for your contacts to call you - inbound calls - irrespective of your location. It travels with you wherever you go. Skype Number
2. To make calls to or within the USA you need either an Unlimited USA/Canada Subscription or some credit. Skype subscription Buy Skype credit
3. Normally Skype Numbers aren't refundable but you can try by filing here:
please contact Skype customer service
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Synchronization - Confusing and Frustrating - N97

Guys, I recently go N97 and was pretty pleased with it... but it has soo many issues and confusions with Sync.. I would like know the difference between the functionality of Sync button on the top of ovi suite and the PC sync option? I am assuming that ovi suite sync options syncs all the things online whereas the other one does it with your PC. Also when the ovi suite suite sync option doesn't work ... it give me a message box in the end which states "Calendar Sync failed" and 0 files where copied etc... nothing happens... I am not sure what is the sync mechanism... whats the problem.. am I missing any settings?
Also I don't want to sync online.. I want to sync only with my PC even if I am using Ovi Suite Sync button (i.e. on the screen) is it possible?

Hi ehkhan,
When it comes to Nokia Photos, i am too disappointed that it gives error for me Sync cancelled, so we are sailing on the same boat I m bit worried about this, bcoz i am using this application from the days of Lifeblog(Earlier version of Nokia Photos PC application), i have my 2 and half years multimedia digital dairy stored on my PC, and now its giving this above said error...

I m too concerned if Nokia OVI Suite 2.0 (which is currenly in BETA) will have the exact ditto functionality of what Nokia Photos/Nokia Lifeblog gives the user to store SMS/MMS, sound files, Images and Videos in organised manner ....
Too much of expectations
I found very easy to use Nokia PC Suite 7.1.30.9 for my PIM Sync

What the heck is going on here!? Confused and frustrated!!

The Restore Previous Session DOES NOT work. Every single time I close out a window with multiple tabs on it, whenever I restore Firefox, all it does is bring up the home page again!
I have my settings set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" in the start up on the Options.
I have the "Firefox will: Use Custom settings for history" with the "Clear history when Firefox closes" box UNCHECKED.
I am NOT using Private Browsing.
I HAVE deleted the sessionstore.bak and sessionstore.js files from the Profile folder. SEVERAL times.
I even have the browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash in the about:config file set to TRUE, though I haven't yet attempted to trigger a manual shutdown through Task Manager to see if this will still happen.
Thing is, I shouldn't have to! I want to know what the problem could be, and how it can be fixed! I'm getting more than a little irritated with having to manually pull up each and every single one of my tabs that were closed, even though the browser should ALREADY and automatically do that FOR me!
I am currently using Firefox version 20.0.1, and it says I'm currently using the most up-to-date browser.
Please help. I can't think of anything else that might be the problem with this.

Does Firefox create a sessionstore.js file?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

I just built a new system using the Neo2 LS mother board, P4 2.8ghz, Raddeon 9600 Pro, 1Gb Ram. Anyway i took my 2 hard drives from my old system (40gb WD and 40GB Quantum Fireball Lct20)I left the jumpers as they were in the old system placed them in the new system. When i boot up everythingworks fine with the exception of my secondary HD(quantum) is not assigned a Drive Letter. Device Manager shows it, my Bios shows it but yet i cannot access it and I really Have important Data that i need off of it. I have tried changing the Jumpers around using the Master/Slave approach, as well as putting both to Cable Select. I have tried changing my Eide cable using the same cable that was in my old system still no luck. I am at my wits end any help on this matter will be appreciated.
O.S. is Windows XP Home Edition

Have you tried to change the hard drive mode from AUTODETECT in the BIOS to something else like an old legacy mode/PIO to get the drive to load so you can grab your data off it?

Skype is the most confusing and frustrating intern...

hi
i have been using skype for five years and still have not figured out why it is so difficult to do business with these maniacs in luxemburg . i do not even know where luxemburg is . every month they attempt to charge my credit card $2.99 for the cost of a north american subscription . every month my bank blocks the charge because it came from europe . i have to have pre approval for all charges that originate outside of the usa . this is a bank policy which is meant to protect me from charges that look unusual . then skype -- without even contacting me first -- immediately cancels my subscription . i never know the exact date that skype will attempt to charge my account $2.99 . so i am never able to inform my bank when to permit a charge from luxemburg to go through my account . also it has never been clear to me whether or not i am supposed to pay $30.00 for my skype number each year . why doesn't skype make it more clear that i am supposed to pay for my skype number ? are they embarrassed that it cost $30.00 to buy a personal skype number on top of the $30 plus dollars that i pay for the subscription ? this would mean that skype is actually $60.00 or more per year . why doesn't skype just tell their customers that instead of pretending that everything is free ? why is there absolutely no way to directly communcate with anybody at skype and find out what i am supposed to pay ? skype is a world wide communications company that refuses to communicate with their own customers and keeps cutting their customers' phone off even when the customer has a subscription or paid personal skype number . can't they get somebody in the middle of the usa to answer the **bleep** phone !??

I've signed out yesterday or previously. Why won't this work? This is the 4th time this has happened to me. I can't get any answers or help. ???? I not sure if there is some new update for windows or skype that is causing this problem and when i go into admin tools i see no error message.
Try to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
If you are on the latest Skype 6.5/6.6/6.7/6.9/6.10/6.11/6.13/6.14 version, then do also this:
Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

I'm using an ipad2 when I go to update installed items it asks me for my old email password...I have deleted that account. Signed confused and frustrated.

How do ingot rid of an old email! It's been deleted & the al store keeps asking for my password on my old email! I have a new email and ID. How domi permanently get rid of my old one????

If you mean that you purchased those apps via an old iTunes Store account, you will have to use that old account ID and password to obtain updates. That account information should still be valid even though you no longer have the email account the user name of the ID originally came from.

The design of this website is confusing and hard to use.

Adobe are regarded as the industry standard of design software, so it seems ironic (or embarrassing) that this website is so poorly designed. I came here simply wanting to post a question about Flash Player but found it the whole experience to be confusing, bewildering and frustrating.
I will list my ten major criticisms below:
1. ILLEGIBLE FONTS
Many of the site's styles (eg discussion titles) use horribly small fonts, to the point of being illegible and nauseating at normal viewing distance. I have to lean forwards towards the screen to read it. I have never had this issue with any other site I visit. The font used is not a screen font and is simply not suitable for being displayed at that size and looks quite ugly (eg lower case 'e' has no hole). In addition, some of the styles use almost illegible colors (eg gray on lighter gray). This kind of "minuscule" typography might be perfect for a small space (eg application control panels), but for a website displayed on a modern computer monitor (at least 1920 pixels wide) it is totally inappropriate. And my monitor is large, I dread to think how small the text would look on a small screen.
2. UNCOMFORTABLE LAYOUT
The layout spans the whole width of the screen, making it very uncomfortable to use the site. All the important elements are aligned either to the left or the right of the screen, with a vast gap in the middle, meaning that one has to constantly dart one's eyes (or neck) back and forth, which is made even worse by the small font size which requires a person to "move in" towards the screen.
3. LACK OF PAGE TITLES
To add to the sense of disorientation, many of the key pages don't have a title, so you simply do not know where you are or what you are looking at. For example if you go to the main list of all the communities (forums.adobe.com/places), there is no title; nothing to tell you what you are looking at. Likewise, if you do a search, there is no title (eg "Search results"). Having titles at the top of pages is fundamental to web design so people don't get confused about where they are.
4. THE "FORUMS" DON'T LOOK LIKE FORUMS
I was brought to the "Using Flash Player" page by an external link, and when I arrived I was just totally confused about where I was and what I was looking at. The page title "Using Flash Player" didn't tell me I was in a discussion community. The page is littered with so many different links and features it is hard to know where to look and what the purpose of the page is. The page does not have a sense of being a discussion forum. I expect a discussion forum to have the word "discussion" somewhere at the top, with a list of threads and information such as last post, replies, views, as well as a way to see how many threads there are in that forum and a way to navigate between pages and see older threads. Not to mention all the strange buttons which I will mention in my next point…
5. MYSTERIOUS BUTTONS
A good website uses terminology and controls that people recognize and understand. But all the buttons on this site are strange. At the top of each discussion forum we have "Overview", "Content", "People", "Sub-communities" and "Follow". I can honestly say I have no idea what any of those mean or do (with the exception of "Sub-communities"). Websites should use clear, unambiguous language so that people know what the controls do and are not clicking on the "unknown". If your site does have unconventional controls that people are not going to be familiar with, you should have tooltip popups which explain, to make it easy for newcomers. I have clicked on those strange buttons but on the whole I have not been able to work out what they do. The "People" button would seem to be a way of finding users/members but surely that is a rare function and it should be at the foot of the page not in a prominent location? Likewise when you do a search, you must choose whether to search for "Content", "People" or "Communities". Most people will have no idea what the first two of these options mean, I certainly don't. It's just a very weird site.
6. INCONSISTENT LAYOUT
Another confusing thing is that there seem to be as many page layouts as there are pages! Every different page I have been to has no common elements or common menus, everything changes. Even different community pages have different features and different layouts. This leaves you feeling totally disoriented. A website's basic controls and menus should not keep shifting around, it leaves the user with no sense of continuity; it cripples their understanding of how the site functions; and it prohibits them from distinguishing between a page's controls and its content, since both keep changing around.
7. BUGGY
I am less critical of bugs because I know that inevitably they happen, and likewise will inevitably be resolved. But in my brief time using the forums I came across plenty of bugs, two are on the main welcome page:
A) First of all, a pop-up box appears which says "Say Something" inviting me to click on the pencil icon. I then click on the pencil icon and another box appears with options. However, the "Say Something" box is still there and it obscures the box below it. You can't click on it, so you have to click off both boxes, then the "Say Something" box is active again, then you can click on the small "skip" button, and then finally you can click on the pencil icon again and see what was there all along. Not a serious bug, but clumsy.
B) Also on the welcome screen there is a link at the top which says "New to the community? Check out our guidelines". I didn't hesitate to click on this because by this point I felt totally lost and confused and wanted all the help I could get. I clicked on that button and it took me to a page called Community Guidelines. I clicked on the first link ("Find answers to questions") which took me to an error page ("Unauthorized. Access to this community or content is restricted. If you think this is a mistake, please contact your administrator or the person who directed you here.
8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Finally, the terms and conditions upon signing up are unreasonably long, to the point of being prohibitive. If someone is having a problem with their software, they don't want to have to spend hours reading through terms and conditions before they can even get to ask a question. It is completely out of order to force people to read all those terms and conditions, and especially forcing people to re-read the whole thing any time there is an update. It is simply laziness on the part of the admin. They could carefully go through the terms and conditions and identify the key elements which have been changed and provide the user with a neat summary, thus saving thousands of people many hours of reading. When I take out a mortgage on a house, I have terms and conditions to read, and I expect there to be a lot. But when I simply want to sign up to a discussion forum, I do not expect a similar level of terms and conditions. People can go to, say, Yahoo or Google or YouTube and discuss these issues freely without having to read any terms and conditions at all. By putting up all these barriers you are just turning people away.
9. IDENTITY CRISIS
Finally (and in conclusion) I would say that the site doesn't seem to know why it exists: whether it is aimed at helping the general public or amusing technology lovers?
I would have expected a site like this to be aimed at the general public, since it is promoted as a help resource by Adobe, and covers a very wide range of products, meaning that a very large and wide range of people should be expected to visit it.
However, the site gives the opposite impression. It has what I would call a steep "learning curve", with complex page layouts, full of unconventional controls and features, as well as the emphasis on community. This would all seem to suggest it is more of an exclusive site aimed more at techy people who want to "hang out" here and become regular users. I feel it is excluding laypeople and casual visitors who are simply seeking quick help.
To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help".
If you want a good example of a good, clean, elegant design that is easy to use, go to www.google.com you will notice that the controls are simple and easy: the eye is immediately drawn to the central part of the screen where the main controls are and there are only two buttons. Then if you want to see more advanced features you can go to the smaller controls which are tucked away in the top right corner and do not distract anyone.

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

It's now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5 audio app missing lyrics

It’s now over 6 weeks since I made the mistake of updating my iPad and I am furious and frustrated at the lack of a solution to the problem with ios 5.
I recently updated to ios 5.1 but nothing has been done to rectify the audio app problems ie lyrics no longer shown,
I am extremely disappointed and angrywith those responsible for the iOS 5 update, in regard to the way it hasaffected the music app in my iPad.
I also own an iPhone 4, am an avid Apple fan, and up until now have beenextremely pleased with the devices, and have sung their praises to friends andassociates.
I am a professional musician, and purchased an iPad primarily to use with theperformance of my music.
The changes made to the music app affected my performances over the weekendextremely adversely – limiting my repertoire and causing confusion and delays.
I have spent many hours talking withApple helpline assistants (who, incidentally have been very good and have triedto help), and I have also spent a lot of time on this letter.
I greatly regret updating to iOS 5.
There are two major problems with the music app.
1. Lyrics no longer displayed
2. Layout, and appearance and consequently performance have seriouslyregressed.
I have a repertoire of around 500 song backing tracks, organised into about 20playlists, half of which featured lyrics / chords that I have spent monthsrecently entering into iTunes so that they could be used on my iPad.
These were working fine up until the update - now they are gone.
Previously, the app featured large icons for playlist, artists, songs etc. atbottom of page: Now there are small, grey, indistinct barely legible buttons.
Previously, when playlist icon was selected - all the playlists were listedclearly in order on the left hand side in black on white (as in iTunes).
Now they are scattered across the whole page in large squares (displayingnothing if there is no album art).
The identifying wording below eachsquare is now small, grey, indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a playlist was selected - the songs were displayed in adescending list in black & white: now they appear as small, grey indistinct & barely legible.
Previously, when a song was selected - it appeared filling the page, and withaudio controls clearly positioned at top of screen. One tap would bring uplyrics.
Now audio controls appear at top once again small, grey, indistinct &barely legible.
A small square representsalbum art which if tapped fills page. A further tap fails to bring up lyrics.

Lyrics aren't supported in the Music app on iOS 5 on the iPad. These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

I found the operating system very confusing and hard to use. No tutorial. Manual and online help were outdated. Tool bars, programs and documents randomly appeared and disappeared. Programs I installed completely disappeared. Anyone else experience this?

No need to apologize, Jim. I think your rant was justified. For years people have been telling me how easy the Mac was to use. Imagine my frustration when I finally learned from friends and users that it takes weeks or months to make the transition from Windows to Mac.
Still, I agree that I acted to too hastily when I returned my mini-mac to the store only three days after I bought it.
I'm going to try again, this time with an iMac. This time I'll keep it. Since this thread is for the mini-Mac only, I'll probably be starting a new one for the iMac.
Why did I decide to try again? Well, I do like the faster speed and compact hardware of the Macs. I also like the fact that I can install Windows and use that for my programs until I transition completely to Mac, IF I make the complete transition.
Thank you all for your suggestions and advice. I have paid attention to what you said.
Andy

I'm so confused and need a miracle right now.

Hi,
I'm not sure where to begin but I'm really frustrated and ready to scream about now. I can't for the life of me figure out how to upload my site using Cyberduck onto my server.
Today I was on live chat with my service provider and I've talked to him many times and there is something missing that I'm not getting. I know deep down it is really simple but it isn't coming together.
Hope this makes sense.
Okay I have a domain name www.splurgesisters.com and I was told by my provider that everything for the site should go in the /www folder. So on Saturday I pulished my site (it is just a couple of test pages to see if I can figure this out) using the publish to folder option and I named my folder Splurge Sisters 2. So I find out that because this folder Splurge Sisters 2 was in the folder /www it wouldn't work. So my provider tells me to name the folder /www/SplurgeSisters2 and upload it.
I'm using Cyberduck and I have a /www thing that I dump stuff into on Cyberduck, so I try to name the folder /www/splurgesisters (I've since renamed it) and it says no such directory exists. When I look inside this folder of SlurgeSisters I see an idex.html and another folder called splurgesisters.
So what in the world do I want to name my folder to put into the /www file in the Cyberduck FTP? so that /www on my service provider will read it. Is it possible to drag all these files outside the published folder individually and upload them. This folder thing really has me confused.
I'm confused and trying to figure this out but just don't get it. Is Cyberduck a bad FTP server?
Thanks,
S.

Tom,
Thanks for your advice. Here is what I did and honestly I'm still confused as I'm learning all this. I went and used Captian FTP and uploaded two folder to my site, one called SplurgeSisters and the other called /www/splurgesisters today when I tried my site nothing came up. So after contacting my service provider he said he would redirect the SplurgeSisters one and that everything from now on would go in that folder. So the next folder I upload should be called /www/SplurgeSisters according to him. I'll have to try it soon and see if that works.
Do you know why when I uploaded SplurgeSisters onto my site it showed up as SplurgeSisters_ and I didn't add that _ in there. I'm guessing it's because all the names inside of the pages had About_Us etc.
S.

Confuse and frustrated
