MAD maybe just REALLY Disappointed!!
First, how did I ever live with out my new Ipod? But, to have Apple slap me in the face with a new better Ipod with more features and memory is hurting my new purchase glee. I wanted the U2 version because it was black but thought it was stupid to pay extra money for the exact same product,sans color. Now you have a choice of black and white for the same price. I know technology changes but having a new ipod come out a few weeks after buying , what I thought was their latest and greatest, makes me angry to say the least. Maybe Apple will make this one customer the happiest and loyest customer of them all but I think I am stuck with my 20gb color for now..
APPLE, help me out!!!
I'm with you too. I bought a 60Gb photo Ipod in the last 5 weeks and my wife got a 20Gb photo ipod at the same time.
I've got the photo connector and have been impressed with that (apart from the sync bit where you need to put the uploaded photos into itunes/iphoto). It plays music great and does what I need it to do (sync photos when out away from the computer)
I'm not bothered that much about video playback. To be honest, the little screen would be too small to really show video. It does fine as a photo preview but they really need to put them onto the TV to appreciate them.
I was thinking if Apple ever wanted to add it to the existing U2/Photo ipods all they need to do is a video adaptor that plugs into the base of the ipod (similar to the photo connector). It would provide a USB2 connection and the adaptor would contain the MP4 H.263 & H.264 video decompression chip that is present in the new ipod. The ipod would then just need to pass the data to the connector to be decoded.
I noticed that the iPod linux contains a video player but no compression. If the photo was going to do it that way it would need software compression that would be too slow for 30 fps video.

Anybody else just really disappointed with iPhone 3GS?
so i just traded up my 3 year old sanyo katana (sprint) flip-phone (which worked perfectly, without a hitch, ever) for a new iphone 3GS (at&t) and frankly i'm pretty dissatisfied with the switch. yeah, it's a fun toy, but phone service and coverage is poor and i'm experiencing most of the problems/issues posted on this forum: ridiculously poor battery life, overheating, app icons going haywire, car charger not working, crappy compass performance, inexplicable crashes and reboots/restarts etc.
if this thing worked precisely as advertised it'd be the best electronic/consumer product i've ever purchased, but as it stand now it's just sort of a nuisance. why advertise a revolutionary product, with revolutionary capabilities if everybody (including the manufacturer, apple) is telling you to turn off all it's revolutionary functions and capabilities just to keep the battery charged more than 6 hours?
weak. just weak.
i just want a functional, as advertised iPhone. is there an app for THAT?
Message was edited by: d.c.1Well, I also have had no problems with mine. But, comparing this to small flip phone is really unfair. We have to remember that this phone is a small computer and has many uses and functions that it dose over your basic small flip cell phone.
Compare it properly against another touch screen smart samsung phone and you will see that it is much more stable and easy to use.
I have compared it to nearly every other smart phone and it always shines brighter. The more a device can do the more that can go wrong with it.
I father just recently bought one of those sit down and drive lawnmowers and it has had many problems, while he still loves that his old push rotor lawn mower works like a charm.
Check yours out at apple and see if there's something that can be done, and peroidicaly power off and on your phone. -
Just got iPad 2, really disappointed in pic quality of camera. Can anything be done to improve? How many megapixels is it?
The iPad cameras are designed primarily for use with FaceTime. Increasing the amount of ambient lighting will improve the quality of still but they will still never match those taken with a "real" camera.

The new appearance of the Notes App is really disappointing. I used it for lists and now it just makes my notes appear to be random paragraphs without visual separation. Am I missing anyway to customize the App?
No, you can't customize it. Try different apps available in the App Store.

Really disappointed with the Macbook pro
Hi all,
I purchased a Macbook pro in the middle of January 2011 with some inheritance money. I went for the cheapest one - was going to go for the white macbook like my partner but thought it would be worth the extra money to upgrade to the pro. It was the first time i had made the move from PC to Mac, but was fairly familiar with the systems having owned an ipod touch for a while and my partner also having a macbook.
4 months on...and i have to say I am really really disappointed with my Macbook pro and certainly not worth over £1000 i paid for it. This is mainly because:
i find that after a while of watching movies (15 - 20 mins), the video starts to "stutter" and the mouse jumps when i try to move it. I thought this was only the case on flash-based websites (like Youtube - although there is no problem on my partners basic macbook) so installed click2flash. I have since come to realise that it also happens whilst watching DVDs etc. I also thought it may be when the battery is low, but it happens even when it is plugged in. I cant understand how it happens on mine but not my partners even though my Pro is supposed to be a high spec (isnt it???)
I use Garageband and often record myself by mic input over the top of backing tracks that i import into the program. I have to record with no effects on my voice to begin with whatsoever , nor the backing track, and have to minimise the garageband window to the dock as when it is open and scrolling, i get the "Part of the project was not played. This project has too many tracks, effects, or notes to be played in real-time." error.
The other day, i noticed my macbook pro would not burn CD-Rs (both music Cds and MP3s) and later realised that i could burn anything up to 6 or so tracks (about 20-25 minutes worth of audio). After trawling the forums, trying slower burn speeds, different brands of CD-R and lens cleaning cds (which froze in my macbook) I still have a faulty disc drive. I have now discovered that the end tracks of some audio cds i have will not play so is obviously something wrong with the drive.
I'm very frustrated and can't help but wonder if maybe i should have just got a £500 windows laptop instead!
Any help and feedback would be much appreciated. Are Apple Support good at dealing with stuff like this? Am i best calling and discussing over the phone or taking it in to a Genius bar? I have also ran all the latest software updates.
Thanks!
Tom

<Edited by Host>>the video starts to "stutter" and the mouse jumps when i try to move it.
That's the fault of the video format you are viewing. It probably caches itself to the hard disk, and the sudden motion sensor gets triggered by the hard drive, if you give it any innertia. You could create a RAM Disk with any of a number of solutions you can Google.
And DVD drives don't like being bounced around. See what I have to say about CD failure below too. Anything can cause a disc to get unbalanced, and not play back right. I would not attempt to play DVDs while the machine is in motion, as you can damage the DVD drive of any machine that is.
Garageband has its own forum here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/garageband where someone can tell you if there is a setting you missed to improve the recordings.
CD Burning is a menace throughout the industry because a lot of media is not very high quality. See my FAQ*:

I am really disappointed with iTunes 11. Stop making things SIMPLER!!!
This is the first software upgrade that has really disappointed me in the 15 years of owning Apple product. I use iTunes to manage my music that is used for my DJ software. Traktor. Now I can't have 2 playlists open at the same time, so it's impossible to compare. I might have 4 different remixes of the same track and I need to easily compare to see if a track is in both playlists and it just cant be done. Here are some of the things I dislike about iTunes 11.
You can't open more than one playlist.
If you are using homesharing, you can't show only "song not on this computer" when you want to import tracks. And of course, I can't see if they are on my computer while having the homeshared library window open.
You can no longer rate songs by using the remote app on the iPhone. It works with the iPad.
Thank goodness I waited to upgrade iTunes on my iMac before I discovered all of these missing features. I now have to do my "power-user" chores on my old 2007 iMac and then have my new MBPro upgrade the playlists thru iTunes match.
I get that Apple is trying to make things simple for a broad range of people, but by doing this to iTunes, which is the SOLE method of handling my music library with my 3 computers, and 2 iOS devices. I need the flexability of the power features.
Maybe Apple can make a professional version of iTunes. Much like Apature to iPhoto, or Logic Pro to Garage Band. I'd be very happy to have a more powerful music player. Maybe one that shows the waveform of the song that is playing, so you can quickly jump to a certain section. Or give us the ability to color the track much like labels in the finder. I often want to select several songs in one playlist to create another playlist and having the ability to color-code them as I'm auditioning the song would really help in the organizational process. I find myself using the finder, quick-view and labels often for this chore.
And how about a genre organizer so it would be easy to change or combine the 4 versions of R&B that show up on my genre list.
Gimme iTunes Pro!!!I don't know man I too hope apple will do something this new I-tunes blow my top lost my whole tune!!!

What will happen to " the new iPad " I bought 2 months ego. Now the model is discontinued . What apple will do?....really disappointing.
I just bought two new iPads a few weeks ago. If they're still in the return window they're going back. Maybe it's time to look at some of the Android tablets since all of a sudden Apple thinks the mini is a great idea.

Really disappointed with Nokia Care
I bought a 920 around a month and a half back but few weeks ago the touchscreen and the capacitive buttons stopped working. I did a number of soft resets but it didn’t respond. So, I took the phone to Nokia Care and they did a complete system wipe and re-flashed the firmware and returned the phone. It worked for a few days but again broke down with the same problem few days back. The phone had stopped working on the third day itself but after a few soft resets it started working and didn’t freeze up once until few weeks ago where it stopped working altogether.
I went to Nokia Care again hoping for a replacement this time. But they reflashed the firmware and said that it fixed it but they returned me the phone with a dead battery. They made some lame excuse about not having the charger. So, I couldn’t check it there but they assured me that it was fixed. I went home, charged it up only to find that the same problem still persists. Now, I don’t know what happened there but I know it magically didn’t break down on my way home. How could they think that this will deceive me?
I am a huge Nokia and Microsoft fan and I paid a huge amount for this phone (around $800, which is a lot in an impoverished country like Nepal) but I am really disappointed with this. For such a high end phone, I ought to be getting a decent service. But this is an utter disgrace. Even the technicians are so rude. When I insisted that it was a hardware problem and that I needed a replacement calmly, they replied harshly saying that they fixed the problem, as if we having some kind of brawl. They even stated Nokia doesn’t offer replacements for Lumia series because it is a high end phone and very expensive. Now, this is nonsensical! Why are they finding it so difficult to replace the phone? Are they neglecting because I live in a small country?
Nokia really needs to step up their game if they want to capture the market share like Samsung. A similar incident happened to my friend’s Galaxy S3 – they replaced it without any issues whatsoever.
I had been recommending Lumia series to many of friends but now, after this incident, I don’t know what to say. This is one of the worst services I have ever experienced. I am taking the phone back to Nokia Care for the third time in 6 weeks tomorrow. I really hope I get my replacement.ineedrain wrote:

Same here, and some other forum goer as well.
Perhaps you should try another Care point if possible at all, maybe you'll get better service there.
Else keep bringing it in, in my country you're by law forced to either fix, replace or give the money back when a product is faulty. -

Well, maybe just a few, but I just wanted
Well, maybe just a few, but I just wanted to say Apple that iPhoto 6 is a huge improvement over 5. You finally got me to switch from iView, and for the most part, I'm very happy with the results. I used to shoot in RAW+jpeg because I usually wanted to e-mail a bunch of shots quickly to the in-laws wihout futzing around with conversions for every picture, but now I let iPhoto create the jpegs for me on import. I actually love the way iPhoto automatically creates jpegs from the RAW's for mailing or sharing on the web. Saves me a lot of space on the camera cards now that I can just shoot in RAW and leave the jpeg creation to iPhoto. For the small subset of RAW's that I want to fully process, I just control+click edit to open up DPP or photo shop, where I fully process and then save in TIFF and then use an automator to bring the Tiff back into iPhoto. Works like a charm, and I don't have to fudge around in the iView library keeping track of zillions of jpeg's and RAW's. I also like the way iPhoto keeps your original RAW intact no matter what edits you make.
Even though the new iPhoto lets you reference files, ala iView, I've decided to abandon this practice, and let the app manage folders for me. I learned after using iView for the last few years, that there isn't much point in managing files if you also have albums and keywords. I always thought it was important to manage files, but I just ended up piling everything into year folders anyway and then using catalogs and keywords to organize. There's just no need to fight the app. Might as well use the visual interface, albums, and keywords, and leave the plumbing to iPhoto.
iView has far more robust keywording and tagging, but it frankly was overkill for my 7,000 photo library. For those times when I want to archive off-line, I'll probably use iView since it excels at that, but everything online will stay on iPhoto.
I might make the jump to Aperture once it get's beyond beta (it sure seems like it's still beta) but then again, iPhoto's pretty darn good for my needs. Oh, and thanks Apple for fixing the performance issues. iPhoto 5 was unusable, but 6 is a screamer.lewisg12 wrote:

I have mi new ipad screen broken in one corner, I was really disappointed because it was drop from about 30 cm so I was not expecting the screen to be broken, well I went to apple store in regents street in London and I was told that I have to pay 250 pounds for the screen replacement, it was a rip off and after many years using apple products I have expend thousands of pounds on them, I just think is a rip off price. It will be difficult but I won't be buying any apple products anymore, I really feel like I was abuse that was half of the price of a new iPad. I have never complain in my life but this time I think apple is abusing me as a costumer.
I'm really upset, I'm furious that apple uses his dominance in the market to Rip off costumers like me.Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
You can get the glass replaced at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, the Apple warranty will be voided.

Brand new Macbook Pro Really disappointed
I just got my brand spanking new MacBook Pro. I got 4 gigs of RAM, 200 gig worth of hard disk, and I got the 17" one. I am really disappointed. I used the "Migration Assistant" per the instructions to xfer my network, email, files, et al from my old Powerbook. I went to start using my new computer and the email settings were not set up at all and my address book on the new Mac contains none of the listings from my Apple addressbook on my old Mac and yes, I checked every one of those boxes re preferences of what to xfer in Migration Assistant. What's the point and what the **** was the MA doing all the time I had to wait for it to finish its business...
Really disappointed.
Now I have to go back and place everything manually into the new Mac? As I said, what's the point...
I just went back and looked again and not even my web sites/bookmarks however these are being referred to these days was saved into Safari on my new Mac and yes, I was connecting via Firewire. Really really ****** about this. Ease of use... right...
Message was edited by: Actually HumanNot angry - just really really disappointed. I mean what were they thinking... many many users buying this machine would indeed be "migrating" from the last Macintoshes which were non-Intel based. I have to wonder what the intention was and who the intended user was for this so-called "Migration Assistant" and whether any user testing was done at all... Really a disappointment. Now it seems like I need to set aside an entire day to get up and running. Very disappointing and UNApple-like.
Do you have any advice on how to transfer addresses from my Apple address book? Do I need to go EXPORT them first on the old Mac?
What about iTunes stuff - some stuff xferred and some did not - I "authorized" my new computer but do I now have to go DEauthorize the old one?
Now I understand why people are paying the Applestore to do this for them after a purchase. What a BIG pain in the a.
Where are all the bookmarks and how do I xfer those? And the Mail settings - where are they and what are they called and what do I move them into on the new computer?
Almost $4000 I spent and to not be able to get up and running nearly as quickly as the last time I got a new Mac is I feel a big blow to Apple's current engineering design. This reflects poor thinking/design.
Thanks for your helpful post! -
Really disappointed with the answerable from Apple
Hi Imobl
What is the meaning of " you may even be getting a new one
rather than a refurbished one - but there is no way for you to tell which
it is. " ? This answers definitely misleads the customers of making them feel that they could get a new one but 99.99% absolutely not.
Another unacceptable answer from you is "Not a bad deal for a used iPad. " what is that mean? I pay the price of a brand new iPad just for six months then a quality problem accursed that Apple can fix it now i was told that i have to accept a replacement of a refurbished because that is the policy of Apple. Does that policy protect Apple rather than their customers?
Really disappointed with the service and irresponsible answer of such a big company like Apple , better think of another brand name in the future.First this is a technical base forum and we are users just like your self here. With that said your post is agaisnt the terms and use you just agreed to. if you have feed back for apple go to apple.com/feedback. Thank you
