EXTREMELY frustrated!!!

Using Netgear router to stream video from a Mac Pro. Both computer and Apple TV are wirelessly connected to the network. iTunes ALWAYS drops the connection. Apple tech support (which were more helpful than I expected) told me to open the port in my router. Any idea how?

This procedure is different on every rougher
First of all you will need the port numbers you want to open: eg 8080 <the html port
Then it is just a matter of accessing you modem configuration page, this can be done by typing your gateways IP in to a web browser then clicking ports/firewall then entering in the port number you want to open
Like i said different for every rougher / modem but if you contact you rougher manufacture they can help you over the phone

Cannot resize the albums in album view in Itunes 11. For those of us with large libraries (160gb), this is extremely frustrating. I want to make the artwork smaller. This seems to be a serious oversight.

I agree.
It was very useful to reduce everything to small and quickly scan down looking for missing artwork.
Particularly useful when I only connect to the machine with iTunes via screen sharing, so everything can be a bit slower to scroll through at times.
In fact, itunes 11 when used purely as a server for Apple TV etc is a downgrade in usability IMO, as they've got rid of some of the useful views that helped me manage my library remotely.

HT6154 My Apple account password has been reset on the count that it says it's incorrect. I just made a new one after making a previous new one, and now it says the new one is incorrect after trying to log in to download an app. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED & C

My Apple account password has been reset a couple times due to Apple telling me my passwords are incorrect. I know they aren't because I have already had to change the password three times, and I keep record of my password. Yet, it continuously tells me my password is incorrect. I have just changed it, again, and now I cannot log into the itunes store to download an app because it's telling me my new password is incorrect.
I just bought the new iphone 5s today, so does this have anything to do with it? Please help, this is extremely frustrating.

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

HT4972 the apps weve downloaded are not working. please help, extremely frustrated with our ipod 4

the apps we have downloaded are not working, please help, extremely frustrated with our ipod 4

See my previous reply for for the apps closing.
For the wifi problem:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect OK before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

When on a call with someone, they hear a beep and I don't. Neither of us have any alerts or messages. What is that? It's extremely frustrating.

i have an 5c and whenever I make a call to one particular person, who owns a iphone5, they hear a beeping noise, but they don't have any messages or alerts. I don't hear this noise and I don't have any alerts or messages either. It's extremely frustrating! And I don't want to spend full retail price on a phone that is malfunctioning or to buy one that will do the same thing. Please help

Well, you say that nobody else hears this beep, and neither do you. It is only this one person that hears this beep on their phone. What makes you think the problem is at your end?

How long does it typically take to update new apple products? I'm speaking in terms of software/firmware updates. My new Apple TV and iPad 3 are glitchy, which is extremely frustrating considering I have the last gen of each sitting there working great.

How long does it typically take to update new apple products? I'm speaking in terms of software/firmware updates. My new Apple TV and iPad 3 are glitchy, which is extremely frustrating considering I have the last gen of each sitting there working flawlessly.

I appreciate the responses, however my initial post was too vague. I apologize and will explain. The specific issues are the window closes occasionally when loading something large, that has ceased in the last day or two. My battery life is no where near the second gens, is that the extra hardware at work? I thought that had been accounted for? One of the frustrating, albeit humorous occurrences is when I placed the second and third gen within 1 foot of each other, turned off LTE, and streamed a video. From every location the second gen out ran the new model on 3G signal, lol. Not a huge deal since I have wi-fi or LTE pretty much everywhere I am, but disappointing none the less.
The new apple tv is great, except for the same thing everyone is posting about. HD iTunes library streaming taking overly extended load times. I don't expect it will take too long for apple to address that issue. I'm new to apple, last 6 months, but they seem to have excellent support! It is definetly highly rated.

My iPhone doesn't load ANY of my old pictures- they show up blurr y and with a circled exclamation- this is extremely frustrating because I don't really have any of my old photos- how to I make them come back or load?

The Italics font is extremely frustrating.

Hi guys.
I'm a writer, and I'm having a frustrating time with the italics command.
I don't use italics often… But when I do, I find that pressing "Command" and the letter "i" sometimes results in the spotlight menu popping up.
This is extremely irritating, because I'm usually halfway through a paragraph at this point and I'm just trying to put words down.
All of a sudden, my writing has to be interrupted and I have to turn off the spotlight menu… Sometimes it's not spotlight… but some other completely random menu or panel.
Also, I find that the italics function simply doesn't work sometimes…. Perhaps I've hit the letter "i" before "command" Perhaps I was bouncing between italics and regular font… I honestly don't know… But whatever I did, the computer is somehow confused and will not go to italics anymore unless I copy and past a section of text that has italics in it.
Although the italics is my main issue here… I've also found that pressing buttons too fast sometimes resorts in menus or panels or search bars popping up.
Again, extremely frustrating since all I want to do is get into the world I'm writing about—without having to constantly press the "X" button.
Also, while I'm on the subject….I might as well ask if anyone has some feedback about how I might be able to set up my Pages so that it is more conducive to writers.
For instance, when I want to commit myself to my writing, I try to go in "full screen" mode… But there's always this awful toolbar and sidebar that I have to hide, it's a really frustrating way to start my writing process.
Is there a way to get rid of these awful distractions… Or is there a program that someone else could recommend?

What OS are you using (update the signature/ profile info if it isn't 10.5).
The shortcuts sound odd in what app is 'cmd+i' bringing up Spotlight?
System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts covers all custom shortcuts for the OS, see if Spotlight is assigned to cmd+i
Check the 'app shortcuts' section too for any that may conflict or bring up Spotlight.
You may also want to confirm the same thing happens in another user account, make one in System Preferences > Users & groups, login as that user & see if the same issue occurs - it could be an app that is running in your account if the new user behaves differently.
Also see if you can catch the 'flash of a menu' when hitting the shortcut - it could indicate if the app is responsible for triggering Spotlight. Dig into that menu to examine it's shortcuts.
As to alternatives to Pages…
MS Word, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, AbiWord, Scrivener are 'word processors' (text with a billion other options like images, tables, organisation tools…).
WriteRoom, FocusWriter, Zen are more like 'text editors' and generally allow you to focus on typing words, some restrict how you can style text, so bear that in mind if you need styled output. Don't forget TextEdit too - simple & built in but actually quite effective.
This site is good for finding possible alternatives, use the 'Official site' link to get the app or see more detail.

I cannot log into my Facetime or iMessages. When I bought this iPad2 in November everything worked. This is extremely frustrating. Has anyone found the solution?

I cannot log into my Facetime or iMessages. When I bought this iPad2 in November everything worked. This is extremely frustrating. Has anyone found the solution?

I can still access the internet. I can still log into my iCloud. I reset my network settings and restored my iPad twice already. I tried all the stuff I could find on YouTube to include changing my DNS setting to 8.8.8.8 I don’t know why I can’t log on. I bought the iPad in Germany and it worked. When I came back to Turkey where I live it worked. I took a trip to the states in December and it worked. Now that I’m back in Turkey, I can’t even log on. For both the facetime and imessage I get a message that says “ Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again. I tried to all the help line twice and they couldn’t even help me. I just bought this in November and don’t know why it’s not working……….Help if you can. Thanks for the response.

Extreme Frustration with Blurry Text Export in CS6

Two related problems that are extremely frustrating. I'm hoping someone who has grappled with this issue in the past, will take pity on my wretched soul and help me out.
1) So I have this Premiere Pro CS6 project with a dynamically linked After Effects composition that contains a 3D Text title.
The preview of the composition looks perfect within Premiere Pro (and obviously, After Effects). Nice and crisp.
However...
When I try to a) render the sequence preview or b) export the sequence in Premiere Pro -- I can't get the text to display crisply. It's all blurry. I've tried all of the different encoders and only one of them works. The problem is that the only export setting that works creates a monster file (and a bit rate of 500,000+Kbps -- 100 times what the original video quality was):
- Format: AVI
- Video Codec: None
- Depth: 24 Bit
All of the other export settings are the same as the original media (except that the original media is quicktime format -- .mov). I've also made sure that the composition settings are correct for the media (by having dragged the media to the new composition window). I'm also not sampling up or down. It's 1280 x 720.
2) Here's the real brain scratcher, if I don't export using this very high 24 bit depth, or if I use another encoder, I get really crappy video -- beyond just the 3D text. This blows my mind, because the original footage (is only rendered at 5,000 Kbps) yet looks pristine.
I've attached a couple of images to show what I'm talking about. Anyone have any ideas?
I understand that I can expect some degradation, but come on, this is ridiculous. I've seen 3D text at 480p look better than this. What am I missing? If I were getting paid for this assignment, I'd either be fired or have to commit ritual seppuku for my shame and dishonor.

Jeff and Steven -- first I want to say a big THANK YOU! I really appreciate your willingness to help me. Like I said, this has been really frustrating.
Okay, I've posted a screenshot of the export tab that I'd like to use (that doesn't work), below. It's just one of dozens of different configurations I tried, that didn't work.
This second image is a screenshot of the only export setting that I was able to get to work (which generated the ginormous file).
This third image is an export screen with the "Match Sequence Settings" checkbox selected. Thought that it might be revealing.
Steven, to answer your question -- yes, the original media is 1280 x 720, and that is also what I'm exporting. The only reason the screenshots look so small is because I cropped them. When I went to post an image on this forum, there was a message that says the maximum image width that can be posted is 405 pixels and that larger images would be scaled down. So I simply cropped the images to that size so as to provide a non-altered version. Maybe that message was just referring to the thumbnail size? I've posted larger images this time.
Sorry for the delay -- I'm still figuring out how to post the individual AE comp... Is there a preferred method?
Thanks!

It is extremely frustrating and unprofessional - How do I cancel my membership?

it is extremely frustrating and unprofessional - How do I cancel my membership?

This practise is obviously widespread. Adobe are 'sorry to see you go' so much that they are willing to stoop to unethical methods to prevent you from unsubscribing.
My university is considering licensing the Adobe Connect product, and I'll do everything I can in my capacity as a Learning Technology Coordinator to prevent this from happening. If I'm successful, Adobe will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue over the next 3 to 5 years, and my university will not be subjected to this sort of inferior/corrupt conduct.
Good bye Adobe. I've given up trying to cancel my subscription and have instructed my bank to put a stop on all Adobe transactions. I will also be complaining to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, with plenty of evidence.

HT201263 Please help, I'm extremely frustrated. Have 4th G ipod touch stuck in recovery mode. Tried connecting to another computer to restore. Goes through 75 minutes of ipod software update then get a Problem downloading. Network connection timed out

Please help, I'm extremely frustrated. ipod is stuck in recovery mode. Connected to different computer to restore and after 75 minutes of downloading get a message that there was a Problem downloading, network connection timed out. Cannot get past "connect to itunes" on ipod.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves that error.

ITunes won't recognize iPod - Extreme frustration!

So iTunes won't recognize my new IPod Video. It works fine with my kids' shuffle, mini and 4th gen but when I connect my new iPod I just get a window with: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the ipod "IPOD". Use the IPOD Software Updater Application to restore the IPOD to factory settings"
I've been trying since Christmas to get this thing working. I've tried the five R's, I've tried every combination of everything suggested on the Apple site, (including posts here) I've tried stuff from other apple users sites. No joy. I just got off the phone with the help rep from Apple. He talked me through the MSCONFIG stuff, no joy still. He told me to go to depot.info.apple.com/ipod and fill out the forms and they'd send me a package to put my iPod in to send them so they could fix it. It's personalized so it'll take an extra 3 weeks to fix. Needless to say, I'm very frustrated and extremely disapointed.
Merry Christmas.

HT1338 My Apple mail is operating extremely, frustratingly SLOW.

My Apple Mail is operating extremely slow. Incredibly frustrating. Slow to load/open messages, delayed when typing messages, painfully slow scrolling through messages. Please Help!

I have been using Apple TV since it came out. While Christmas shopping I saw a great new little Apple TV and thought what a great Christmas present, they are so small now. I bought 4 - yes Apple FOUR.
What I can now tell you is the new one does not compare to the old one in terms of speed. Firstly, when I rent a HD movie on my new Apple TV (tonight for example) the TIME it displays for the download to complete is over 4 hours. Yes, FOUR hours. It also seems that this new Apple TV wants to download the entire movie before I can watch, quite unlike the old apple TV. After 2 hours of downloading, it displayed an error and stopped the download. I then fire up my OLD Apple TV and within 3 minutes (I am not joking come to my house and check it out yourself!) the SAME movie. Even though I had to rent it AGAIN (more money down the drain). I have checked with the three family members I also bought a new apple TV for and they have the exact same issues.
Apple, can you please swap 4 NEW Apple TV's for 4 Old Series please?

My iTunes continues to say "Security Code Invalid" when I know it is in fact correct. I can't update my apps or purchase anything and it's extremely frustrating. Someone please help with what to do?

Every time I go on my iTunes account via my iPhone or even my computer, I get notified that my security code is invalid. My account did this a while back, but I ignored it for a while and it eventually accepted my security code. It's not doing that now. It's been a week, I need to update my apps and want to be able to purchase whatever I want. It's extremely fruststing that it won't accept my actual card security code. Someone please help?

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ?

Macbook Pro doesn't recognize monitor - extremely frustrating!

I have had this problem ever since I started trying to use an external monitor. Essentially, when I plug in my cable (mini display to dvi, dvi to hdmi) the display blinks blue, but my monitor doesn't turn on!
Everything is plugged in, the monitor works fine with everything else, so it must be the macbook.
I googled this topic and it looks like nobody really has a solution but I figured I would try here anyway.
Eventually, if I try for literally an hour, sometimes my monitor will turn on. I don't do anything differently, just sit and plug and unplug the cable. The cable is also good because it works for other devices. This is so frustrating because what's the point of an expensive monitor when I can't use it?!?! Apple is going to lose me as a customer if this isn't fixed.

You say the cable is good because you have tried it on different devices but what about the adapter? Have you also tried the adapter with different devices? If not, it could be a bad adapter.

EXTREMELY frustrated!!!
