So frustrated with Shuffle I could scream!!

Someone please help!! I recvd a 1gb shuffle for xmas-it worked for 4 days then died-apple has since sent more 2 more replacements and the same thing basically happeneded with them. No lights or anything will come on. I have talked to an apple rep and did the online chat
This is ridiculous!!
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Hi Brandylyn, how are things going with your shuffle, did you run your battery from full to flat over the four day period you describe or did you top-up charge in between useage? I'm on my third shuffle, arrived from apple and hey presto it charges perfectly, is seen by my computer, and will download songs, BUT GUESS WHAT, it won't play anything because it would appear to be permanently set in error mode, that is whenever you press any button, you get alternating green and orange flashing lights on the front. Apple supply a small descriptive card with the shuffle, Apple item no 034--3062-A, which describes this as an error. The fix is to add songs, or reset. Well I've added three complete full playlists, and tried resetting on numerous occasions, the playlists appear OK, but nothing will play! This one will be going the same way as the other two I've had, straight back to Apple for replacement!
Regards, Shanky.

Frustrated with Shuffle

My son got an iPod Shuffle today for his birthday and a iTunes gift card. The Shuffle worked great at first. He immediately downloaded about 11 songs and everything was working fine. Then he decided to look for a few more songs and now we can't seem to get anything to work right. We charged the Shuffle for about 3 hours. His original playlist is still on the Shuffle but the new songs are not loading. I have restored teh software and tried re-downloading the playlist but with the same problem. What is more frustrating is now we can't seem to get the Shuffle to work properly either. We turn it on, the green light stays on for about 3 seconds and that is all. Hit play and nothing happens. Sometimes it will work in "Shuffle" mode, but not regular mode. The battery indicator light is green. It also will not loop the playlist and just ends with a slight "click" at the end of his playlsit (still no new songs).

Suggest going to the iPod Shuffle Support Page and starting right out with the "Five R's". Note that those are the common starting points for troubleshooting; they won't automatically fix each and every problem.
From your description of intermittent operation and perhaps some problem in the power switch besides, it may eventually be a candidate for replacement. You should work through the parts of the troubleshooting that you in fact can do, if for no other reason than to confirm that the fault is in the Shuffle and not something that you can correct.

Please ship future iPod Shuffles with Shuffle Mode TURNED OFF

I just got my iPod and loaded it full of podcasts. It kept flashing orange indicating that it was empty. I spent more than 4 frustrating hours restoring, reloading, reading, forums etc etc.
Finally, I found a post that said the iPod will not play Podcasts when switched to shuffle mode. WHY NOT! Man! That was frustrating. At least it works now... like a charm.
Apple,
Please ship future iPods with Shuffle turned off and/or mention this issue in the quick reference cards and the .pdf manual so that others don't waste hours because of this quirk.
Thanks

Thanks, 0Ari0
I looked again at the .pdf and insert and still found nothing mentioning podcasts not playing in shuffle mode.
I suppose that I am once again the exceptional user in that I only loaded podcasts onto it and could not get them to play until researching the "problem/feature" regarding podcasts and shuffle mode.
I realize that podcasts are something that you typically don't want played randomly. I do want them to play in an order. However I want them to play in an order that I specify. I have tried creating playlists, dragging each file individually to the iPod to get them in an order I want. Regardless of how I intertwine different episodes of different shows for a varied playlist the iPod somehow groups them, I believe, by release date.
sadly they also get played backwards from most recent to the oldest regardless of how I load them. I want to listen from oldest to newest. Another, quirk that doesn't work for me personally. But, that is something I still have to research and figure out. I'm hopeful that it can do that.
Anyway, thanks for responding. I have reading to do.

If Apple is so full of geniuses, why can't they come up with a usb cable to connect the iPad to a printer? This would seem like the most intelligent first choice for those of us who are absolutely frustrated with iPad printing functionality.

My sister has an iPad and an HP printer. She cant' print from her iPad even though a genius at the Apple Store sold the combination to her with the idea that it would be easy to do. Instead, I have to go to her place with my MacBook, she sends me an email, and I hook up my laptop to her printer to print what she needs. Why can't the Apple geniuses come up with a USB cable and an OS update to make it easy and NOT SO FRUSTRATING to print from the iPad?
I've been a Mac user for fifteen years but I could not, in good conscience, recommend an iPad to anyone until Apple considers that ease of use does not include regularly getting frustrated with the easiest of tasks.

all printers speak a diffrent "computer language" for a device to understand this language
a driver is required
some devices such a computers come with drivers for a long line of printers and other devices
apple decided that it was better not to include that huge list of drivers as users would then not have
much storage left for media and apps
then apple let printer makers make apps for printing in app store and make printers support airprint

I'm frustrated with the bookmarks. I so long to be able to right click on any bookmark and choose to have them in alphabet order. Would also like for the little icons to go away. Never been able to figure out how to do this the MAC way. Help.

I am frustrated with the Bookmarks. I want so much to be able to right click and alphabetize the list. It's been a year and I can get my mind around the process that's there. Also I'd love for those pesky little icons to disappear. Help me please.

After the release of Firefox 29, several people noticed that after using the Customize feature, most items on the right-click menu for the Bookmarks menu on the menu bar became ''grayed out'' and unusable until you closed and started Firefox back up again. That seems to still be a problem for me in Firefox 36.0.4, so if you used Customize, that could be the explanation.
You still should be able to click and drag bookmarks around the menu even with the broken right-click context menu.
And if it's easier than restarting, the context menu still works in the Bookmarks Sidebar (Ctrl+b to open/close) and Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+b or "Show All Bookmarks").

Frustrated with lack of help!

I up graded my phone to an iphone 5c. I received it yesterday and call the 800# to activate my phone. During the phone call I was transferred to customer service because my phone was unable to activated. I was on hold for 30 mins and the customer service rep told me there was nothing she could do manually I would have to call the 800#. I did this 3 times, each time told the same thing! Finally the 4th time I told the rep I needed to speak to a manager and he informed me the manager wasn't available and to call tech support. So my 5th phone call to Verizon I spoke to a girl in tech support who was able to tell why my phone wasn't unable to be activated. the SIM card that was preinstalled was never registered and I would have to go to a Verizon store to get one. Here's my problem again, I leave in a rural western pa. I called my local store and they told me I would have to buy a SIM card because they are not a corporate store! The closets corporate store is 1 hour away. I am so frustrated with verizons lack of system checks that I just want to send the phone back!! I have never had this many problems with Verizon and I have been a customer for 15 years.

Verizon can mail you a Sim for free. No travel time to a corporate store.
http://www.apple.com
In their community help forum the not being able to activate is listed there as well as the fix.
Good Luck

Auto sync with shuffle?!?!

Hi I just got a new iPod shuffle because i was using a friends iPod nano and i loved the way i could sync with podcasts, i could automatically put the most recent i have not listened to.
However i cant seem to sync with the iPod shuffle in the same way. I thought it would just work in the same way with itunes.
Is there a way to sync with the shuffle in the same way or do i have to drag and drop the podcasts i want into it.
thanks in advance

Yes it seem we can auto fill only music but not poscast. For podcast I have to add it manually to playlist

Frustrated with layers

I know this is so simple but I can't get it to work. what I want is to have a plain background color with either a picture over that is faint or a pattern that is lighter these are not the focal points then i want to add a few photos but would like to feather or rough up the edges so they don;t ;look like i just dropped them in and maybe a some other graphic like an animal or flames etc. and some text. please any help would be great. thank you in advance. Susan

Since you mention being frustrated with layers, I assume you are having problems getting several images into the same document.
Start by reading through this tutorial which shows how to open and get more than one image into a document.

You might also find some useful info on this page...top part anyway.

Use opacity in the layer's palette to reduce this image or pattern's transparency.

One way would be to use this layer in a clipping mask...also known as a clipping group. See this tutorial on clipping masks/groups that includes several ways types of bases.

Personally, I prefer using a solid color fill adjustment layer as the base in the clipping mask. (You'll find this option in the layer's palette under the black and white icon. It'll be one of the options in the menu list.) Drag out the rectangular marquee in the mask of the solid color fill adjustment layer. With the mask layer selected in the layers palette, fill it with black paint. Invert the mask (ctrl + I on PC; cmd + I if on a mac). You can use the free transform command (Ctrl + T on PC; Cmd + I on Mac) to resize the masked area.
Some edge techniques...
If you desire to soften the edge, apply the gaussian blur filter. If you want a spattered edge, apply the spatter or sprayed edges filter to the mask...can also try using other filters that work in grayscale which will be the only ones not grayed out. (Note: You could apply the filter(s) to the rectangle first then invert the mask if you prefer). Another method is to use the brush tool and paint in the mask...thick heavy brush set is a good choice. (Note: Use black paint to hide (the image); white paint to reveal (the image); and gray will be semi-transparent (think feathering).
Edit: You don't have to use the rectangular marquee...can use circular or any selection for that matter.
Info on the type tool can be found here.
http://www.photokaboom.com/photography/learn/Photoshop_Elements/type_tool/1_type_tool.htm
You'll most likely want to have your type in the topmost layer(s) of the stack in the layers palette so you don't cover them up with your images. Use move tool to move graphics and type into desired location. You'll find using the grids and/or guides useful in planning out your image.
There's a video on using a scrabook kit (Quick Page) here that might be useful as it shows how things are stacked when building a page:
http://www.alibony.com/video/video-lesson34.htm
For the transform command (resize and rotate), she's using Ctrl + T on PC (cmd + T if on mac) instead of using the menu Edit<Free Transform. I thought I'd add that so you don't get lost with how she's doing that.
Another tutorial on using quick pages:
http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/digitalscrapbooking/ss/howtoquickpage_10.htm
I think there might be some of these included with Elements. I don't have a recent version of Elements so I'm not 100% sure where they are located but I'm thinking it's in the Organizer.

Completely frustrated with downloan not working and deleting and attempting to reinstall resulting in three different accounts on my computer and none working.

I downloaded Firefox mobile to my Droid. Connected to computer and followed instructions, using code provided on phone. Did not work. I tried to re-sync phone. It didn't work. I deleted Firefox on phone and reinstalled app. The connected phone to computer to re-sync. Could not get anything to work using"I have an account" tab so opened up another sync account. It didn't work. I deleted app again and tried again and used a third sync account to sync phone with computer. I got nowhere. Completely frustrated with three sync accounts and none working.
Need help to delete all accounts and start over. Can't seem to find a way to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Bill

Colin,
I tried this (opening in Photoshop CS5 and resaving as jpg) as you mention:
The remedy to this problem has usually been to open the image (the one that is having an identity crisis) in Photoshop or another image editor, and simply resave it. You don't need to edit it or rename it or anything--just open and resave.
Re-imported and it does work fix (I get picture1 and picture2 instead of just picture1 for all pictures).
Having said that, I looked at all the file properties I could for:
picture1.jpg (original)
picture1.jpg (resaved in CS5)
To see what changed. All are properties are identical (color depth, pixel size, etc.) except that resaved image is ~20% larger (I saved max file size jpg in CS5).
So original is ~6MB
resaved jpg is ~8MB
So the question - why can't CS5 premiere import these directly (with resaving?) and what is working with the resave that locks up the first time?
These pictures are straight from a Canon 50D, with no editing or resaving - dumped off camera to computer. I can reproduce this error 100% of the time (new project, new folder, import 2 pics) so it isn't something goofy with the way I'm importing - 100% how premiere is handling this.
Very disappointed that I now need to open/resave/rerender each of ~1100 images to simply use them. Given that these jpgs are being produced by a mainstream camera with support image format.
Any thoughts?

Becoming frustrated with Aperture 3

For the last month I have been using Aperture 3. I love all the new feature and I want it to work. I have own Aperture since version 1.5 and the story has always been the same. I use it for a while until I become very frustrated with its poor performance.
When Aperture 1.5 came out I purchased a MAc PRo with all the bells and whistles just so I could run Aperture 1.5, after a few month I became very frustrated because its poor performance and I was forced to move to Lightroom 1.
When Aperture 2 came out I was very excited thinking that Apple would finally figure out how to get Ap performance right. Once again, after a few month I was forced to switch back to LR 2.
Aperture 3 finally came out and it seemed to be a dream come true. Its feature sets rock, but once again, after one month I may be forced to switch back to LR 2.
What's more frustrating is hearing how many are running Aperture 3 with good (or at least acceptable) performance.
This post is my last hope, my last attempt to Aperture sanity. Any suggestion about what may be going on is very welcome.
I am running a MAC PRO 2 x2.66Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xenon with 11GB of memory. Aperture library and images (referenced) are in a RAID system (same place). The video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT. I am running Aperture 3.01 on Snow Leopard 10.6.2 with all the updated installed.
Ap3 is running so slow at times that going from image to image after adjusting one it may take up to 5 seconds (enough for the beach ball to show up). AT times it even slow down the system. Forget about working on 100% zoom with any of the brushes.
I just can't buy a new MAC PRO with every new version of Aperture, and, last time I did that it didn't make a difference, anyway.
HELP! Before I give up.

I agree with you that slow can be relative.
I am a working professional and I need my equipment to support me and not get on my way. When I say slow is because I compared to my previous workflow, how much it takes me and the software to do basic, global adjustment... WB, Exposure, Black point, Contrast, definition, white recovery, and then go to the next image. I am not eve talking about brushes or sharpening. I know how long it took me using LR 2 and to that I am compare how long it takes me in Ap 3. I can tell you right now that the only thing that kept me yesterday working on Ap 3 is that I truly believe its RAW conversion is better than LR 2or LR 3 because the slowness is unbearable at times.
And I say at times, because there are times that Ap 3 works just fine.
Having a Hardware issue has cross my mind.
The same HD that has the Ap 3 Library and images is the same on I use for LR 2. Yet, LR 2 does not have those issues. But I'll try the defrag suggestion.
As far as a bad image, this is a brand new library and not a converted one. I created it from scratch. But again, I will try anything. Not sure how can look for a bad image, but what I can do is create two new library, one in my current working HD and one in another HD. I will first import a new project and see what happens. Then, I will export a project from my working library and import it. Let see what happens. I may defrag any way, but that may help diagnose if that is the issue or not, or if I have problems with the raid.
One of the things that bother me is the inconsistency of experiences. I agree with you that for some it zip even in similar systems. For other the experience has been frustrating. That is weird beyond reason! Hopefully the more we keep doing this the more likely that we can get to the root.
Thanks.

Frustrated with Verizon and their inconsistent Customer Service

I am so frustrated with Verizon and their Customer Care/Service. I have never been told so many different things. It seems that there is no consistency with what they tell customers. I called and explained to them that I have been with them for over 20 years that we were looking to save on our monthly bill. They said that with my employee discount, and they checked to see if I qualified for other discounts, I didn't and they lady could have cared less to help. My Verizon/employee discount is changing (decreasing in percentage saved), Sprint and AT&T offer a higher discount with my employer. I spoke to Sprint and AT&T and they offer not only better discount, they are cheaper (and AT&T coverage is better here where I live, versus very broken up where I live when it comes to Verizon). Anyway, I called back and spoke to a Rep. named Kayla who was more than happy to keep us at Verizon. I questioned the Edge plan, and that none of our 5 lines where up to where I could get it. I asked her if she could speak to someone and make an exception. She did and said that was not a problem that since we had been loyal customers for over 20 years, I could do the Early Edge on all 5 lines, that she could go ahead and place an order for 5 new phones of what we wanted - and that when I received them, then I would have to send Verizon back the 5 phones that we currently have. I thought great. I'd be saving atleast some money going this route. I told her that I wasn't sure which phones we wanted that I would find out and call back. I did the online chat later because I had a question, and that Rep told me - No, that wasn't going be happening at all that I was misinformed. This is not the first time that this has happened with Verizon. A rep in a store told me if I bought this Verizon tablet ($99 with a $99 mail in rebate - Free, I liked that - then he said if I did that, he could save us $20 per month on what we were currently paying per month). Well, low and behold - I got an extra line - a tablet that I had no use for (he got me at the whole "I'll lower your bill $20 per month". I fell for it, and it didn't save me one penny. In the meantime, I put Sprint and AT&T to the test - I spoke with each of them about 3 different times each and got the same answer each time from both of the providers. Customer Care/Service and consistency and not misleading customers is what is selling me. I will gladly spend my $3,400/year elsewhere - and save money in the process. Anyone else have similar experiences???

Early Edge works by having you turn in the phone on the line that is early edge upgraded. You then start paying for the full cost of that phone over 24 months, sooner once you get to 75% paid off on that phone, where you can trade it in and start again on another phone, but you will have lost the money already paid up to 75%. When you trade in the phone for Early Edge and then trade in the new phone for edging up, the phones must be in perfect working order with no damage of any kind.
The money "saved" comes from being on Edge where, if the phone is on a plan with 6GB or more data, you save $25 per month on each Edge phone, $15 if on a plan with less than 6GB. However, you turn around and put that $25 back onto the phone payment each month, so you DO save $25/$15 but you basically break about even on a 6GB and greater plan after the phone cost.
BUT, in the end, if you get a better, more reliable signal from ATT, and you have an awful signal with VZW, you might consider a switch, but you'd have a large sum of ETFs at this point to cancel all 5 lines. There are also special stipulations as to who and when one can Edge up or start Early Edge, such as 6 months straight on-time payments.
Verizon Edge FAQs | Verizon Wireless
Early Edge is basically just starting the Edge plan early, so the above page should answer a lot of the questions regarding eligibility. Be warned however, that there are a lot of people with issues who decided to take advantage of this program, namely the trade-in process of sending old phones back and then finding charges on their bill for phones that were "not" received at the warehouse.
It is my opinion that you should not go this route, because if you have less than stellar service now, you are setting yourself up for possible frustration and another 2 years of disappointment.

Getting very frustrated with my Gnex...

Ok so I am running out of ideas to make this phone work for me... Currently on my 3rd gnex since i first bought it in May 2012 and this on is by far the worse. Just a quick run down of my first two 1.) worked great absolutely enjoyed all the features as it was my first 4g phone got impatient waiting for 1st jelly bean update and bricked it while trying to root rookie mistake lol... 2.) was just as happy with it as the first. Everything working great till about a month ago when the mic started to act up and no one could hear me unless i was using a headset or blue tooth. Got the update for 4.2.2 the day I was taking it to best buy geek squad to send out and that even seemed to be working great loved the camera features and was even starting to like the lock screen widgets. Had no problems with the battery drain and even seemed to be running better than ever. But since my wife was the most frustrated with not being able to hear me when we'd talk on the phone i sent it out for a replacement (happy wife = happy life). Which now brings me to today not even 24 hours after picking up my replacement gnex i am starting to regret my decision to ever buy one in the first place. This one came with 4.2.2 ready to go on it and seemed to get off to a good start with it until i tried to open the internet, Google would start to load then poof back to home screen, open internet back up load some more then kicked out (wifi or 4g/3g mind you). then it was like it was taunting me saying "oh good patients you got me to load google dare you to search.... HAHAHAHAHA nice try" poof home screen. Ok. Well internet a bust lets try the google search bar.... Oh wow i like the new features here let's try a search.... well back to hompage i go.... At this point I'm ready to give up and try later so I press the lock button and screen goes black then flashes at me for about 3mins... When I go to the main menu it is black as if i have no apps at all till i swipe and then everything appears. Oh and it is beginning to get real hot like I've seen posted here a couple of times and now I have started missing the htc thunberbolt loaner phone that best buy gave me for the 3 days with out my nexus...
Things I have tried:
-Factory reset (3 times)
-Taking Battery out and letting it sit for awhile (up to 15mins)
-Avoiding the urge to just throw it against the wall (hardest one of all)
Things I'd like to avoid in finding a solution:
-Rooting ( tried and failed at that already in the past)
-Waiting for ANOTHER replacement phone
-Throwing it against the wall (still seems like that would make me the happiest right now)
So all in all i just needed to vent a bit and am now curios as to what options I do have now. I didn't go with the verizon insurance on the phone because i went through Best Buy when i bought it originally and pay 9.99 a month for their Geek Squad protection plan but i don't want to have to send it back out since i just got it back today. Can I take it in to a verizon store and replace it right away? If so how much should that cost (in AZ)? Has anyone else been down this road with their gnex as well and have any info to share?

Is the replacement phone working flawlessly so far as of this posting cowboyjake? I couldn't help it to laugh at your posting things you have tried. I know how you feel the upgrade it messed up my phone it reboots during a phone call, screen goes blank and have to uninstall / reinstall the battery to get the phone to boot up and work. Price goes up Quality and Service goes down is the motto of all businesses now days.

Frustrated with Audigy 2zs drivers

"Frustrated with Audigy 2zs drivers\ Hi,
I really need some help with drivers for my Aud 2 ZS Plant card as i am very frustrated. A couple of months ago I reformatted my HD and subsequently re-installed all my drivers. When I was ready to install my soundcard drivers\software I could not find my installization disc as I moved to a new place 6 months ago and I guess they got lost in the unpacking. Since then I have tried to find drivers for my card and in the process have?used 3rd party drivers ie. KX, PAX, and daniel_k but could not get them working or they (KX) were hard to understand. Anyway, I am to the point now that I just want to have sound with functioning software where I can get back to doing some hobbyist home recording as I did before with orginal drivers. In saying that, can anyone please point me in the direction to find the most up to date drivers for my card? Iam running WIN XP Pro sp3. I am to the point now that I want to take the card and front dri've bay out of my system, chuck it, and go and buy a $20.00 generic card.
Help would be much appreciated.
Tappy

If you want the latest drivers I'd use Dan K's if I were. None of the old software works with the latest drivers so you're kinda stuffed. Dan K's are based on the 2.8.000 drivers which are the second to latest drivers available. Don't use the 2.8.00 drivers - they cause more problems than they solve.
Before installing any more drivers/software it might be an idea to make sure there's nothing left of any previous drivers you've tried to install. Could be what's causing the problems.
This is how I remove my drivers. May seam a little convoluted but in your case it may prove useful to be as thorough as possible.
You'll need Driver Sweeper, and CCleaner, 7Zip and Dan K's Audigy Support Pack 2.0 (if you don't already have them).
Download these and install; Driver Sweeper, CCleaner and 7Zip.
Now you need to extract all the files out of Dan K's support pack, which should be an *.exe file. You need what's inside that *.exe file. After installing 7Zip, you should see a new 7Zip options menu when you right click on files or folders?
Click on it and then select Extract files to Audigy Support Pack... or something similar. Don't just select Extract files.
Inside the new folder that should have appeared after 7Zip extracted everything, you'll see another folder named Drivers.
Copy this folder to your desktop.
Now reboot and start Windows in safe mode.
Click Start then Run and type cmd.exe to open a command prompt, then type (minus quotes):
" takeown /f C:\Windows\*.cdf " and hit enter, then:
" cacls C:\Windows\*.cdf /G *insert your logon name*:F " and select Y and hit enter again.
You can now close down that command prompt window.
Go in to the Drivers folder you copied to your desktop and run Setup.exe and this should appear:
<img border="0" src="http://theliability.googlepages.com/creative_uninstaller.png">
Select the same options as above and click OK and let it do it's thing - when it says reboot your PC click No or Cancel.
Now run Driver Sweeper and do a scan for all Creative drivers then click Clean.
Don't worry if it says things like file doesn't exist or some other error msg. It'll still get a few things.
No load up Add or Remove Programs (personally I prefer Revo Uninstaller) and remove anything related to Creative.
Finally load CCleaner and scan/clean your registery.
Reboot back in to normal Windows.
And that's it. A tedious process I know, but it's the only way I've found of properly stripping CLs drivers out.
You'll know if it's worked because when you now go and install Dan K's pack the installer should just run straight through. When there's still driver remnants the installer always says it's found previous drivers and need to uninstall them and reboot.
tbh I recommend running through this process regardless of wether or not your choose to stick with the old drivers or go with the newer ones.
Creative's drivers are infamous i'm afraid and at least after this your PC should be relati'vely clear or remnants.

I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash player on some of my favorite web sites. Is there any alternative that will work on I-pad instead of flash?

I am getting frustrated with Apple not working with Flash Player on some of my favorite web sites! Is there another alternative to watching these site options on my I-pad?

Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices - something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app).

So frustrated with Shuffle I could scream!!
