Does anyone else hate Audio-mercials when calling a business?

Nothing angers me more than trying to call a business and not being able to bypass the stupid automated audio-mercial, especially when it's longer than 10 seconds.  Oh and then they say you can go online and do yadda yadda yadda, if I could, I wouldn't be calling.

  • Does anyone else HATE their Cosmos 2?

    I ordered a new basic phone in December and the Cosmos 2 seemed to fill the bill. I've had other LG  phones before and had no problems. However, this phone won't keep a charge; for ex: I fully charged it & after receiving & responding to 2 text msgs, I am down to one bar. It is ridiculous! Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions for a good basic phone so I can get a new one? Thank you to anyone who can help.

  • Does anyone else HATE the new iTunes Software layout?!?!?!?!?!

    I HATE the new iTunes Softare for Windows! They made it exactly like Windows Media Player! If I wanted to use WMP, I wouldn't use iTunes!!!! But I preferred iTunes over anything else. It was much more user friendly. Now its like the rest of them!!! I hate it!! PLEASE, CHANGE IT BACK!!!!!!

    I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl+B to turn on the menu bar
    Ctrl+S to turn on the sidebar
    Ctrl+/ to turn on the status bar
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    Should you feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

  • Does anyone else hate YouTube?

       Previously I was able to upload an answer print to YouTube without much trouble.
       Tonight, however, YouTube and/or Google demanded that I set up a "YouTube channel." I clicked on this. And waited.
       And waited.
       And waited.
       And waited.
       And waited.
       This despite that I'm on a 4G Wifi hookup!
       After watching the "working" spinner for exactly 10 minutes (this after a previous 6 minute session of watching the spinner) I threw in the sponge.
       My only grief with this Formum is that there is a Language Nanny that won't let me express my real opinion of Google and YouTube. In rich Anglo Saxon.
       I'd wanted to put up an interim Answer Print to get some early feedback from Hunt, Romano, and Grisetti.
       With any luck I'll be able to upload the Answer Print to my own website via FTP. If I can carry it off, I'll pass along the link sometime tomorrow.
       In meantime ... am I alone in my contempt/distress/hatred/loathing/rancor/discust regarding YouTube?
       rh

       My distress with YouTube was overstated. The problem became self-resolving, for reasons that are still unclear to me.
       For clarification of, and a retraction to, my rant (and a posey to the Language Nanny) see http://forums.adobe.com/message/5534042#5534042.
       I'm a novelist who dabbles in graphics.
        Vimeo is swell for anyone who does a lot of up- and down-loading. For me, however, this is a unique issue, insofar as my only concern is getting this video to Kickstarter as just one element of a project. (Text in html, rewards, and video.) Once that's done, I don't see any real need to create videos, and I can't justify the cost of Vimeo.
       My interest in photography, dating from high school, and my education at Santa Barbara's Brooks Institute in '54, has always been still images.

  • Does anyone else HATE the OS X Yosemite Recovery Update 1.0?  Now I can't put photos on Facebook from Photos.

    How can I put photos on Facebook from Photos?  I choose them and they don't appear.

    1 - if you hate Photos very simple - do not use it - if is still in your applications folder
    2 - you may need to update your system preferences ==> extensions ==> sharing to include Facebook and maybe other sharing places

  • Does anyone else hate the new updated OS for the ipod touch?

    I dont like the way the email is delivered now or that you cant delete email without opening each email. Please put it back to the way it was.

    You do not have to open mail to delete it in iOS 5.  When viewing the list of emails in preview for any given account, just tap "Edit" and you can then tap on each message to be deleted, hit delete (bottom of screen) once you picked them all and they are deleted.  Also in the preview list, you can swipe (left-to-right) on a message to delete it.

  • Does Anyone Else Hate The New Design?

  • Does anyone else hate the "holiday season"

    sure i get off an extra day, but the whole weekend is driving around visiting my family as well as my g/f's family, NO time for myself
    damn it!

    Including the fact that the stores start celebrating it in July, and the driving all over, not to mention the tension between the in-laws---who get's more time with the grandkids--etc....
    The endless piles of crap to fill up my tiny box of a house even further to overflowing... dollar store crap, and other things...
    Yeah--I dread it--but the look on my 4 kids' faces when they decorated the tree -- priceless.

  • Does anyone else have trouble hearing the person you're talking to half way through the call?

    Hello everyone.  For almost 2 years now I have had this ongoing problem.  I have called Verizon several times, stopped by the store several times and no one has been able to help me yet.  I will be on a call and all of a sudden I can't hear the person talking on the other end but they can still hear everything I am saying.  I have tried many times to figure out if there is something in common about the calls but there never is.  I talk to people that are on land lines, cell phones from various wireless providers, I called them, they called me, day, night, different towns, different states - many, many scenarios.  Same thing all the time.  Sometimes it happens when I'm on the phone for one minute, 30 minutes, one hour - sometimes it never happens.  I used to have the Verizon thunderbolt.  I had it for about 10 months before it started happening.  I put up with it until I was at my 2 year mark and upgraded to an IPhone 5.  One hour after walking out of the store with the new phone it happened and has been happening still for the last year.  I'm not lying when I say I have spent HOURS on the phone with Verizon and their technicians.  The customer service reps always promise to call me back and they say "Don't worry I won't drop the ball.  I'll call you when I get in on Saturday" and blah, blah, blah.  My phone is used for work and it's embarrassing when you have to tell the attorney or anyone else for that matter to call me back because you can hear me but I can't hear you.  I am beyond frustrated and am considering breaking my contract.  Wish I could figure out on here how much that would be.  HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE???  PLEASE HELP..

        I'm sorry to learn that you have endured the audio issues outlined in your post for almost 2 years SusanLM1! This is certainly not normal! Let's get to the bottom of this issue, first please confirm your phone model; your mention that you have the iPhone 5 but your post is on the iPhone 5S forum. Also, share the iOS version currently installed on your phone. What is your ZIP code? Does this happen mainly while you make/receive calls from a particular location (home, office, etc)?

  • Ipad2 doesn't sync with my kindle. When I open the kindle app I have to search for the correct page. Does anyone else have this problem?

    When I open the kindle app on iPad 2 I have to search for the correct page. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Well, I did a search on apple.com and found this:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-news/2010/04/the-hidden-itunes-visualizer-con trols.html
    "The Visualizer -- graphics that swoop and pulse with the music -- has been part of iTunes' DNA from the beginning. And because its creators wanted to interact with the graphics in real time as well as watch them, Visualizer includes some single keystroke commands that change what you see while it runs. But these commands are hidden by default lest they obstruct the graphics.
    Use the Show/Hide Visualizer command in the View menu to turn Visualizer on and off, and use the Visualizer menu to select among the choices. If the choice you're using has hidden commands you can see them for a brief time by typing ? while a song is playing and Visualizer is visible. The keystrokes will work regardless of whether the help menu is showing, so if you memorize them it's possible to add Virtuoso Visualizer Player to your list of accomplishments. (For the Visualizer choice called Jelly, available only in iTunes for Mac, try holding the keys down, especially the number keys, for maximum effect.")
    Not that you care. >.<

  • When I am on the phone to someone it goes quiet and I have to hang up. Does anyone else have this problem??

    Does anyone else have this problem?
    When I am talking to someone on the phone it will all of a sudden go silent as if I have been cut off but the call is still connected. I then have to hang up and ring that person back. Is this a common problem? Can it be fixed?
    Please help!!

  • My macbook pro (August 2010) keeps freezing when apple mail starts up. This happens every 2nd time I turn on my Macbook Pro. This forces me to hold down the power button to restart my Macbook Pro. Does anyone else experience this, and is there a fix? Thx

    since upgrading to OS lion, my mac book pro (2010 August) keeps freezing (non responsive, requires restart) when i turn on my mac and the system is trying to open apple mail. while apple mail is attempting to collect new mail, the macbook pro freezes. this happens every 2nd time i try to start up my computer. this only started happening after i upgraded to OS lion. please let me know what I need to do to fix this. being forced to restart every 2nd time i turn on my macbook pro has been very frustrating. not sure if apple mail is also the cause of my macbook pro for being very slow during start-up (on the occasion the computer doesn't freeze).

    I am having similar 'freezing' problems with many programs (Mail, Safari, iTunes, etc.). I have done a clean install of Lion instead of an upgrade when it came out. Perhaps something went wrong with my install? I'm thinking about wiping and reinstalling.

  • When I type my email address in the "To:" field, a random name comes up next to it as "Holidays in United States". This just started happening out of the blue and I have no idea why. Does anyone else have any idea?

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
