Disgusted with engineer

I want to voice my disgust with the whole of this BT service.
Having renewed my contract with BT in April/May 2013 I had no end of issues with my service. The line was intermittently crackly and my broadband kept dropping out and hardly ever went over 0.02mb. I was constantly ringing BT and kept going through the routine of line tests, removing the front socket, etc etc which after a few months became quite labourious until one day they informed me it was my phone that was causing the crackle and so the reduced speed. I unplugged my phone and within days the intermittent broadband came back.
I rang BT who said it was something to do with the exchange and I had to wait days for the service to be fixed....as you can guess this didnt fix my problems so BT said then it was my ASDL filters and sent me new ones (actually they forgot to send them and so I had to call BT again to chase). Having got the ASDL filters- guess what it still didnt fix my issues!!
I asked for a new hub to which I was told I couldnt have a new hub as I was managing to get on line (although intermittently) and I would have to have an engineer out. I was reluctant to have one out as I knew I would end up in the situation I am in now....
Eventually I agreed to have an engineer out as I couldnt put up with the crackle or the lack of internet...it was now November.
Engineer came and guess what....no fault found!!! And the line was amazingly crackle free....Typical. The engineer said he couldnt understand why I had such poor broadband speed as my line was clear and suggested I get a new hub. 
So another phone call to BT to demand a new hub. I got the hub and have had brilliant download speed of 16.89 ever since and still no crackling on the line. Terrific, problem sorted!
I called BT and asked for some compensation which they gave me...only £25 but better than a kick in the teeth so I accepted this payment.
All great until today 20/01/14 2 months after the engineer came to my address where I see BT have charged and taken the engineer fee from my bank.
FUMING!!!!!!!! Rang BT and as usual, hour long waits and lengthy calls and being passed from one person to another to be told that I had to pay as the engineer had wrote that the problem was my 'extension wire'. WHAT EXTENSION WIRE?????????? I dont have one!!!!! 
I am disgusted with this. I asked for a hub before the engineer came and BT wouldnt give me one. Then after the engineer has been they give me one and charge me for the engineers visit. This couldve all been avoided and I would be £129 better off. I feel like its all one big scam. Big company like BT and they are robbing g**ts....if they didnt spend so much money on BT Sports they wouldnt have to rip us consumers off!!
I am now about to file a complaint to BT Openreach about this engineer. And I will be leaving BT as soon as this poxy contract comes to an end.
Id be interested in hearing if anyone else has recently experienced similar instances.
Off now for another lengthy call to BT to start my complaint!

  • Disgusted with BT

    Back in October 2012 I phoned BT to arrange to have a phone line put in at my what would be my new address on 30th November. The engineer turned up as promised, but was not able to complete the job at that time, but I was told that the job would be finished the next day. 
    The next day came and the line was still not connected and to my disgust I was then told that my next appointment for an engineer to come would be 11th January. I was devastated, as being disabled I do not go out alone and I do my grocery shopping and most other shopping on line and with moving house I had all the usual people to contact (utilities etc.) and do all my banking and paying bills on line. I just didn't know what to do.
    Anyway cutting a very long story short and 5 engineers later I had my line connected yesterday 23rd January nearly 3 months after I booked the original appointment.
    I think it is disgusting that the only compensation offered is £10 for, they say a missed appointment.
    Looking at some of the other posts on here it seems this is not unusual.

    Hi Jaycie,

  • I'm disgusted with Verizon right now and want out

    I can't believe what Verizon has done to me over the last couple of months.  It can't even be legal.  I've had Verizon cell phones for 12 years.
    A couple of months ago, I casually called out of curiosity to see how much it would cost to upgrade my phone.  The guy I spoke to, "Kyle," told me if I were to upgrade my Omnia to an Omnia 2, it would cost $70 after an instant rebate and credit I had on my account for a 1 year extension.  I was only casually interested, but he convinced me, and I verbally agreed to a 1 year extension, (My contract was up) for sixty nine dollars and change.  I should have paid it then, but asked him to just bill my account.  Everything was very very clear, and if it wasn't how he explained it to me, I certainly wouldn't have agreed to it.
    My next bill, I got charged $289 for the phone.  I couldn't believe it...  I spent 3 hours (no exaggeration) talking to different customer service guys trying to get this fixed.   They looked in the computer and said there were no notes about the conversation and all said "Sorry, nothing we can do."  I asked to talk to supervisors, and they said they would call me back, and never did.  Importantly, I was also promised an "instant rebate," and not only didn't get it, but didnt get a mail in either!! 
    I was back on the phone the next day, pleading my case to customer service again, for my entire lunch hour, and the best suggestion, at least from the ones that didn't put me on hold indefinitely, was that I could upgrade to the 2 year contract and they would credit my account $125.  So, the verbal contract that I agreed to on the phone was enough to lock me in for a year, but the price they agreed to bill me was not legally binding apparently.   I tried to tell them I never agreed to pay that price, and certainly wouldn't have!!  Nobody cared.  I told them I wanted out, and I wanted to send back the phone, which I didn't need, and had only casual interest in.  I was ignored.
     Stressed out of my mind, and only wanting what was clearly promised to me on the phone, or to simply nullify the contract, I called again that night, and a much friendlier cust service guy told me the same, that I had to upgrade to 2 years, and that they would send me a mail in rebate, and it would knock the price down.  Defeated, I agreed.  I recieved a rebate with an "Invalid purchase date" and am screwed out of that as well.  Here I am with a phone I was ILLEGALLY baited into buying, never wanted for 2 years, and have no recourse whatsoever.
     And of course, now the Droid X comes out... That would have been worth 2 years, but I'm screwed because of a lie, baited with a false price, which was a mistake on their part that I became responsible for against my will ,jerked around for many hours on the phone, and topped off with an invalid rebate.  I am beyond disgusted.. Again, 12 years of patronage, and this is what I get..

    You dug up a two month post to respond to??? I suspect the OP is long gone. And no, recordings are VZW property and can not be 'Pulled' for a subscriber. Besides recordings from Aug or July I am sure have been recorded over a couple times by now
    Actually 14 months.

  • Issue with Engineer Multidimensional Model from Oracle Model

    Here is the scenario:
    1. Created logical star schema model including a dimension with nested subtypes (SuperTypeEntity1 -> Subtype 1 -> Nested Subtype 2)
    2. Forward engineer to Relational model using Single Table implementation
    3. Create Oracle 11g physical model definitions for the star
    4. Define dimension, levels, and hierarchy in physiclal model
    5. Create new multidimensional model, right click menu and execute "Engineer from Oracle Model"
    Result:
    Model and diagram built with correct dimension, levels, level attributes, hierarchy
    Problem: The entity that the dimension levels are related to is the subtype entity that appears first alphabetically! What it should do is be related to the SuperTypeEntity since I used the Single Table implementation (IMO). I can manually change the property to pick the SuperType but then it loses the assignments for the Level Key and the Descriptive Attributes (which were defined in the physcial miodel) so I have to manually repopulate those properties.
    Associated problem: Since I tend to do things incrementally (define a few dimensions at a time), everytime I re-run the engineering utility, it resets the dimension back to the wrong subtype everytime. (I like the fact that I can rebuild the multidimensional model iteratively to incorporate changes, but in this case it would be nice to "lock in" my manual changes).
    My only work around at this point is to either only run the engineering utility once (which is pretty impractical) or temporarily prefix my super type entity with an "A" so it always comes up first in the list until I am done with all my iterations.

    Hi Kent,
    dimensional model is not well suited to use entity hierarchies.
    I can manually change the property to pick the SuperType but then it loses the assignments for the Level Key and the Descriptive Attributes (which were defined in the physcial miodel) so I have to manually repopulate those properties.It seems all your key and descriptive attributes are in SuperTypeEntity1 (the root of hierarchy). How to proceed if some attributes (key +descriptive) are in subtypes, should SuperType be set as level entity again?

  • Disgusted with no tga in elements 12

    I am amazed that adobe took out tga file fuction  in elements 12 ,I know of 3 people that bought this assumning that this would be a part of the norm, I play in a virtual game were over 45k people log on world wide and many use a photo editor to use in the game one standard for making this in the game is using tga files, and myself and others are utterling disgusted that adobe has removed this. the whole pacakge is now worthless to me and other and I will make it my upmost to make people in the is game aware of it and recommend them to look for anlternative
    what upsets me is that when buying elements 12 one does not think to read and see that you removed such a major part.I would have better off dowloading Gimp which has this and is free,
    am disgusted and never will touch another adobe product.
    A copy of this message will be posted in the virtual game forrums too.

    Feel free to let off stream but we are only users here, not Adobe so they won't hear you. If you've only just purchased it then, depending on where you got it, you might be eligible for Adobes 'no reason required' thirty day money back guarantee.
    Alternatively if you have access to PSE v10 or earlier (the format was first removed from v11 rather than v12), it's been reported that you can copy the Targa.8bi to the Formats folder to restore the feature to v11 & v12 Editor (but not Organizer). I've not tested this myself though.

  • Disgusted with Verizon and the havoc they made of my day

    I called asking what the best way was to reduce my bill. Someone offers me a package and tries to get me the $300 card. He says he's unable to do the card bit, but gives me a nice package. Says that someone will be coming by on Aug 31st between 11 and 2pm. I get email about visit etc. Then a box appears, its a new cable box. I figure the guy coming on Friday has to install an upgraded box for me. I never received an email or call about the box. UPS was lucky I was home. So the box sits and waits until Friday. I get a phone call about the ticket and they are confused about what they are supposed to do with it, I tell them that I received this box, I'm trying to lower my bill. She says ok. Now we know. I was told my service would be disrupted on Friday, so when I woke up and there was no phone signal. I thought ok, tech will take care of it when he gets here.  Turn on TV expect too see nothing, but I have TV and Internet service. Strange. But I go with it. Eleven o'clock rolls around. No call, no tech. So I call Verizon. I get bounced around by a guy who tells me to plug in the new box. Which didn't work btw. So I put my old box back in, then someone who bounced me to someone else who couldn't understand why my phone was out.  I was put on hold for too many times too count. I was on a cellphone, minutes clicking away trying too get this taken care of and losing patience. Three hours later, I find that billing made a mistake and cut off my phone because it was part of the new package they would be giving me. They kept asking me if I moved, numerous times. They said I moved earlier this month, when a tech came by. I had to explain that a PSEG truck went by and knock down the line and I called to have them put it back up. I still have no phone and won't get one until tomorrow.  I am disgusted. I am beyond **bleep** that no one told me that NO tech was coming and I have this cable box sitting in my livingroom. Sitting in a box and "I" have to find a way to get UPS to pick it up to return to them cause I'll be damned if I'm gonna search all over for a UPS store, with no car. No one explained to me that the new package would CUT OFF MY PHONE. No one knew what was going on with my account and its just inexcusable. I like the picture, I like the internet and when it works, I like the digital phone. But today pushed me to the limits of being understanding to the techs on the phone with me and the company. I think I've earned that $300 card I was offered from the guy on the phone originally. A day without a phone, 3 hours on the cellphone and missed appointments, just because of YOUR mistake.

    You make the appointment. And here it is 9PM and no one has shown. No call. No apologies. Nothing.No complaint department. No Complaint number. NOTHING. You'll probably get rid of this thread because it is taking up too much space. But Verizon, you USE to be a decent company. I sang your praises to everyone and swore by you. But lately, all I do is swear at you. You outsource your calls on the weekend and they screw up their orders and I have been screwed ever since. Sure, things are fine now. But I had to re-work my schedule for you and you sent numerous messages that you were showing. And NOTHING. This is not a way to run a business. This is not a way to treat a customer who pays their bills and has been a long time customer with you. My friend recently asked me about you and I said, oh yeah. Great, never had a problem, works with you.Now I think you've gotten too big for your own good. You can't provide quality service anymore. I've told her to forget about it and stay with someone else. Someone who provides SERVICE and not empty promises.

  • How can I go back to 3.6? I'm thoroughly disgusted with 4.0

    I've been trying to find the buttons for stop, reload, etc., and they are eluded me. In trying different things I then somehow lost my button for bookmarks, and the new orange Firefox button. This thing is a mess. I decided to try loading 4.0 to at least get back to base 1 but when I opened the newly downloaded 4.0 it looked just like the one I was trying to write over.

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.

  • How does an account holder return their old phone when they edged up through the Verizon Edge Program? I have wasted way too much of my time trying to do this and am certainly disgusted with Verizon's communication and website for this.

    I have been searching this helpless website for 3 nights after work trying to figure out how to get my old phone back to "WHEREVER" it needs to go. I am soo frustrated, I'm ready to throw this phone away and forget it. I've read through posts and tried the links left to only be taken where I've already been, with NO LUCK AT ALL. I've even called verizon myself to get, yet again, NO HELP!! Can anyone give me the real answer as to what to do.???
    I've got the box I received my new phone in, with the plastic bag for the old phone and some papers the clearly read, "Keep this for your records" nothing that says RETURN LABEL. Don't have an address, either!

    This is the same response other community users have gotten, there is not option to print a label. This is also where li was told to go look for the receipt when I card
    Verizon. THERE IS NOTHING THERE TO PRINT. I've tried to include a link to that page, so you can view yourself,  but I'm thinking it won't post in this community discussion.
    So, with this, I'm still stuck in the same situation... HOW DO I RETURN THIS PHONE? WHY CANT VERIZON EMAIL ME A LABEL DIRECTLY???

  • Disgusted with windows vista supp

    I have been a huge supporter of creative products since I can remember. I bought the 8 bit sound blaster, sound blaster 6(wave blaster). I have been beta testing windows vista since beta2. The sound has never worked with vista. The release client has been floating around for months. Why has creative not released some sort of fix so I can enjoy my dvd's, my cd's and my games on my new windows vista setup. I realise the driver setup is new, but you are supposed to have industry leading engineers working on this, and you have had months and months to get a driver out. Creative why is there such a delay. I am very frustrated and angry. My itunes sounds like garbage, WOW sounds absolutely terrible. It sounds like someone is scratching their nails down a chalk board. None of my games work. I would like to know when I will actually be able to use my audigy 2 zs in vista correctly. Thank you?

    I agree.
    I'm having to use rubbish BETA drivers for my X-Fi. And my Creative webcam li've motion, a rather expensi've webcam too, apparently will not have drivers untill the end of this year?!
    ALL my other hardware from other companies is working fine with drivers.

  • I am so disgusted with Verizon CS.  Six hours over two days on the phone to upgade a phone and my plan.  More to come, but I have names, and even a direct phone number to a "supervisor".  I'll be posting more...  The incompetence of EVERYONE (which is alm

    I'll be posting all the details of this tomorrow.

    So, I'm back, the OP.
    As briefly as i can:
    Two phone family, currently one smart, one dumb phone.  The dumb is eligible for upgrade.
    Call into V and spoke with "Anthony" to get info on what plan(s) I might consider as I upgrade the dump to a new iPhone 6.  Currently an old "grandfathered in" Nationwide 700 plan. This was Friday Sept 19.  Get some info, which I assumed to be correct, including the fact, his words not mine, that the "upgrade (device) fee" can be negotiable.
    Before I had any first hand knowledge, I assumed that I'd better get a "second opinion" so I drove over to my local Verizon (corporate) store.  Well, I got a different story, including the percentage of my employee discount on service, my employer gives a 20% discount and has for years, I have my current statement / bill in my hand.  But no.... Verizon guy says that is wrong, its only 18%.  I ask him about upgrade fee being negotiable.  He says no, never.  So what had I learned?  That V guy on the phone from Friday was either lying or just ignorant.
    Soooooo.... now its Tuesday, Sept 23.  The "BIG" day, day of 3 hours 50 minutes on the phone with SEVEN different V people, all of them telling me something different about what plan(s) I'm eligible for, your employee discount is 17, no 18, no 20 percent.  Yes we can negotiate an upgrade fee, no we can't...  At one point, now a couple hrs into it I say I've had enough, I want to talk to a supervisor.  "I'm sorry sir, supers can't come to the phone"  WHAT?  Well later, once I did speak to a first level supervisor and then a second level I of course found out that was wrong - more lies / misinformation?  The supervisor took the name of that V CS rep and looked at my every growing call log and said that he would speak to the CS rep.
    So, nearing the 3 hrs mark into my attempt to find out about plans and buy an upgraded phone for my plan I reach "Brian". I have his direct number.  Apparently he is something more important that the past 6 people I've spoken to over the past thee hrs.  I tell him:  "EVERY SINGLE PERSON I've spoken to so far has told me something different, and or contradicted what the last person I've spoken to has said!!!!!"  Yes you can have 2 single line plans, no you can't, to get this plan your upgrading device has to be on the "Edge" plan, no it doesn't, your employers discount applies to the bottom line, no it doesn't, only to the data, and on, and on, and on.
    Sooooooo I tell Brian, "here's how its going to go...  YOU are going to wave the upgrade fee.  I don't care where the money comes from, V or right out of your pocket.  I've been on the phone for now closing in on FOUR HOURS...."
    Sooooo he agrees.  I laugh and tell him, "You know, it has nothing to do with the money, not its all about screwing V as much as I can, and wasting yours and V's time."
    He says, order your phone and plan this week and I'll call you Friday (today Sept 26) and then credit your account the fee.
    Soooo yesterday (Sept 25) I call in to do just that, order the phone and plan, WHICH I was told really the only plan that would suit you would be a More Everything Plan.  So, ok that's that.
    I speak to a CS / Sales rep.  I buy the phone and then we go on to the plan.  I tell the rep THIS WHOLE LONG STORY, and it looks like we are heading towards the More Everything, BUT she says to me, "you know, you could do that Single Line plan for BOTH of your phones?"  I say "WHAT????"  I was told by two reps NO, and two reps "Well.... maybe".  This plan gets me everything I want AND saves me $10 a mo.
    Sooooo we go for that, BUT.... I can't change my plan (from current Nation Wide 700) to 2 two single line plans until I activate my new phone (which will be 4 weeks until I get it - iPhone 6), SOOOOO once it arrives I HAVE TO CALL BACK TO V and switch - how much fun will that be??? MORE time (hours?) with V.
    So we agree.... The rep says I just have to transfer you to our automated system where you'll agree to terms and conditions.. Fine.  Up comes the computer voice... and.... it says "hello.... you are upgrading your device (123) 555-1234 (it gives a real number), press 1 if this is correct."  WHAT???? That is NOT the phone number of my device  ***?  The auto system gives me the option to press another number to "enter a different number", so I do, AND......  The call disconnects.
    Now... If I could track down ANY ONE OF THE PAST 8 PEOPLE I'D SPOKEN TO OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS, YOU'D BE READING ABOUT ME - "Upset customer KILLS everyone at V".  I AM SO ******* ****** OFF AT V... I'm now into 2 hrs today, plus the nearly 4 hrs the other day on the phone.
    Soooooo.... I call back, have to tell the story again, this time to "Nick" in N.Y.  Nick says just go on line to your account, you can accept the terms there.  Well, what do you know....  It works, amazing.
    But....  Nick says great and reads back the info on the phone I bought and says "...and I see you are on the More Everything Plan..."  WHAT, STOP, STOP, STOP.  I tell Nick, "Nope, I am not, I never agreed to that, I'm waiting, keeping my old plan for 4 weeks until I get the new phone, THEN I'm to call back (oh joy) to V and upgrade my plan"
    Nick say's well you have the More Everything plan, and it is costing you $10 more a month, BUT I can't un-do it because there is a purchase (my phone) in progress... I am not BEYOND MAD.  We are now at SIX HOURS TOTAL TIME ON THE ******* PHONE OVER TWO DAYS.
    I ask to speak to Nick's supervisor.  Melanie comes on the line.  I, weather she wants to hear it or not, TELL HER THE ENTIRE STORY, that when (and GOD help him if he doesn't) Brian, the top end supervisor calls on Friday (today) to check on my experience buying the phone / upgrading the plan AND to credit my account the upgrade fee, I'm going to have to tell him about EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED TODAY and about the TWO MORE HOURS ON THE PHONE.  Melanie says, yes you do now have a More Everything... All I can do sir is apply a credit back to your account for the difference in cost between your old (what was my current) and the new More Everything (the plan I NEVER agreed to be on).
    So, that is where we are as of now, Friday Sept 26 AM.  "Brain" said he'd be calling by noon-ish Pacific time. I've got his direct number, and If I don't here from him by noon, his phone will be ringing off the hook very 30 seconds until he picks up.
    My experience to simply upgrade one of the two phones on my plan and the plan itself HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE.  VERIZON is sooo SCREWED UP.  NO TWO PEOPLE KNOW THE SAME INFO, and the INEPTITUDE displayed is sickening.

  • Absolutely Disgusted with the performance of Keynote 6.0

    After looking forward to some performance and visual upgrades from apple with the arrival of mavericks, I was shocked at how it has affected a lot of my presentations for work on the new Keynote 6.0. Not only do I now have to go through each and every slide show and re-arrange the text, I have to do it on a very short time budget. Editing text is a nightmare, changing the layout of my slides is a nightmare, and whats worse is the app seems to disregard pretty much everything i ask it to do. I dont have time to fix this. It would have been nice to at least be given some notice of the changes, or at least to convert them much more smoothly accross to the new version.
    I am definitely not happy. How is everyone else doing with the update?

    I should also note that I discovered this older article https://discussions.apple.com/message/2748043#2748043 regarding similar text performance problems with Pages.
    One commenter lists these potential causes:
    1. Do you have any PostScript Fonts installed? Some people have reported problems with some PostScript Fonts.
    2. Do you have any missing fonts? When you open the document, does Pages complain that it cannot find one or several fonts?
    3. Do you have corrupt fonts? Open FontBook, select all fonts and then File > Validate Fonts.
    4. Corrupt pictures, songs and movies in your home folder's Movies, Music and Pictures folders can slow down the product through the Media Browser. AVI films in the Movie folder can slow things down, as QT usually cannot play them.
    5. Go to View > Hide > Layout. For some reason the layout slows things down.
    6. Don't view Thumbnails.
    7. Use the Text Fit option "follow contour" instead of "follow a square" in the bottom section of the wrap inspector. (Or was it the other way round? Anyone?)
    8. If an object is set to wrap, and a wrapped side squeezes out any possibility of text wrapping along that side - such as extending a text box to the margin, the extreme slowdown will occur. So don't.
    9. Use as few objects as possible Fixed on Page. Instead use Moves with Text.
    1. I do have postscript fonts, but none are being used.
    2,3. No missing or corrupt fonts.
    4. Problems are not related to media files.

  • Disgusted with color

    Okay, I will try to word my problem a different way, in hoped that someone will have pity on me and try to help me figure out what is going on. My pictures are printing out much too dark and the colors are just flat, really ugly. I love to make cards and need my pics to be bright, like they were before installing and using pse 8. I am sorry I ever got it now. Anyway, I keep reading about color management, What do I need to do get my pictures to print out correctly? I have a new dell system, using a hp 7310 printer.I am reading about all sorts of things down to paper type etc. Where do I need to start to get this fixed? I have posted prior, but no help. I am not a computer geek either, so need details so I can understand what I need to do.  Thanks

    Joe, Thank you so very much for the link with information. I appreciate it so much. I am printing it off so I can read everything and try to understand it. I was getting so frustrated with not knowing where to look for information I could understand.This is for beginners, so that would apply to me. Thanks again. I was beginning to think nobody was going to reply to my post. I still would have liked to know before hand that my pictures would be printing differently since I upgraded to pse 8. Something they (adobe) should point out from the beginning. Thanks again. Hopefully I can get it corrected. Will keep everybody posted if it works. 

  • Disgusted With COD World at War Issues

    & I just went out and bought CoD 5 and I have never owned a game more buggy than this one. Just to play this stupid game I turned the sound setting to basic according to activisions suggestion for those of us using Audigy series cards.
    I have an Audigy 2 ZS Gamer with the most recent update and I have no sound in the game. I doubt the Beta Driver will fix it unless you say otherwise.
    Help Please

    I havent played World at War, but I do play alot of Call of Duty 4 online and in game, I havent experienced any issues and would say the graphics on my Nvidia 9600 256mb are sweet.

  • Disgusted with this thing already... and yes...

    another video problem. I just bought a 299.00 iPod for my daughter and the Video that we just spent 2 bucks on iTunes does not work. Really, shouldn't the stuff off of itunes already work with the Ipod?
    I don't care if it needs to be converted, if so, the software should do it. If anyone out there has a real solution to this, please let us know.
    Thanks

    I got it working by restoring it, which is probably the issue with most of these video questions. It's right out the box too, and had a lot more menu options before I restored. Trying to make sure it is updated now
