The most annoying "Ad" ever

OK, I get it. You want me to pay. But I am not going to pay.  And I am not going to listen to a 3 minute, 30 second long ad disguised as music, from a genre I consider junk, in the middle of a classical music playlist. The Mates of State are not Bach. They aren't Beethoven. They don't use violins, cellos, or flutes. You may think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I didn't come to Spotify to listen to The Mates of State.
Don't get me wrong: I will be happy to listen to real ads, because that's what I signed up for, ads in the middle of my playlist. But if you must force me to listen to someone else's musical tastes, well, then I will say goodbye. And that really is that. Google Music is one click away, and guess what It's free.  What a shame. I was really enjoying listening to the collections people create here. But if I come back and here this hideous song by Mates of State again, if you insist that I listen to music I don't like, don't want to like, and well, refuse to like, well, then goodbye. 

I came to complain about the same thing. I am sitting here listening to a playlist I made for my church and then this comes on. Some people might like it, and I might even listen to it when I am in that kind of mood, but to make me listen to a whole "song" that I didn't ask to listen to is terrible.

  • Flash Player is the Most annoying thing ever

    Cant get adobe to work. It keeps freezing my computer for about 60 seconds when i try to watch youtube or something. 'Adobe flash player has crashed do you want to send crash report?' comes up on the screen. Then low and behold it starts working maybe 2 days later then it stops working again in another 2 days! And its a constant cycle like this.Its simply wrecking my head. I've read all the forums and tried everything, nothing seems to be working, and the 'great' people at the help centre gave me great advise, they told me to go to the forums!!! Is that their job to redirect people to the forums? Easiet job ever, i want that job, muppets! Sorry i'm ranting now but its so frustrating!

    Hi, you didn't mention any computer info, but you are probably using FF(Firefox)? No one is going to help you until you post your computer information, 64bit or 32bit, browsers Installed and version numbers.
    Flash Player is not the problem, it's everything that a user has Installed into their browser most of the time that causes problems. Or they don't have Flash Player Installed correctly and a hundred other reasons:-)

  • Is this machine the most annoying PC EVER?

    is there any way that I can speed up my internet performance? I am so sick of watching that stupid little circle spin that I'm ready to buy a mac and just be done with it all.
    What are the tweaks that will smooth out how this thing operates? Does anyone else see the same issue?  Blame it on Vista if you want, but I have another vista box that does not have this problem.
    Why is it that when I click a link that the little circle needs to present itself and spin for a few seconds before it decides to go to a link?
    ALSO, what does that stupid circle continue to recycle every few seconds?? I JUST DONT GET IT?!!!! 
    By the way, I do not have McAffee.... Using Trend; which, all my other machines use as well.
    What can I do??
    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    Described problem has nothing common neither with Vista nor Lenovo. It's your Internet - it may be slow or you may have problems with your router or you've launched torrents/eMule in backgrond. Many things can cause such behaviour but none of them can be adressed Lenovo or Vista.
    Plese try using Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1 instead of IE that is buggy. Also test your speed and post it here - that'll help to resolve the case.

  • Spell check is the most annoying thing ever!

    I have seriously come close to hurling this phone at the wall...!
    because of the autocorrect spell check BS feature...
    when is apple going to give me the ability to turn it off?
    I ABSOLUTELY HATE A DEVICE THAT TRIES TO THINK FOR ME
    IF I SPEEL SOMETHING WORGN - THAT IS THE WAY I WANT IT!

    I'd like to see them improve the "suggestions" (just hire someone from blackberry for this, my (work) BB curve is light years better). iOS almost never gets it right.
    I think that would make the fact that it is a 'click-to-deny' system so much more tolerable. I get so frustrated when it wants to correct a word I'm spelling the way I intended to, to some ridiculous word. Other times my word is only wrong by one letter and the correct word isn't even a suggestion.
    Spellcheck/autocorrect and notifications are easily the worst two features of iOS.

  • Premiere has the most enoying error ever in history

    Hello people, I'm working at a project that involves a lot of Premiere and after I've progressed with it, it gives me the most killer error ever. How can I solve this? I can't recover my work, so everytime I have to start over from some point it auto-saved. Please help me with this!
    I'll be waiting for your suggestions.
    Thanks!

    So... this isn't actually any help, but I would have to say the most annoying error message ever is FCP's "General Error". Which would then be followed by your system crashing. Has to set a record for least informative error ever, and it used to come up fairly often.
    I'd follow Steven's advice, and import either you project or sequence into a new project.

  • I have a 3rd gen iPod touch and I downloaded the most recent itunes, ever since I did, only the first song syncs to the ipod. As soon as it gets to the second, it xtill says its syncing. However, nothing happens. How do I fix this?

    I have a 3rd gen iPod touch and I downloaded the most recent itunes, ever since I did, only the first song syncs to the ipod. As soon as it gets to the second, it still says its syncing. However, nothing happens. How do I fix this? I have restored and updated the ipod. I have the new iTunes. I have restarted my computer checked the connection and everything.

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Some of the most annoying SJC issues:

    As I promised I will post some bugs I found. Will start from the most annoying for me:
    1. Visual designer does not show JSPF fragment components inside GridPanel or GroupPanel. This is just a terrible issue.
    2. CSS cannot be be assigned to JSPF during design time. I understand that JSPFs use CSS of the container page in run time but how am I going to design JSPF without CSS? Do I have to always go to the container page and preview how JSPF really looks? Sometimes when I get back from the container to JSPF it retains the styling but after refresh it gets absolutely styless again.
    3. If I am binding the "Rendered" property of a component (such as grid panel), it disappears from the visual designer (after you click refresh) and will never reappear until you unbind it.

    (1) VIsual designer does not show JSPF fragment inside GridPanel or GroupPanel: The reason this happens is that GridPanel and GroupPanel are JSF components which encode their own children; you can't put plan markup as direct children of these components (you can't do that for data table either). And a page fragment is going to be an HTML fragment; usually a <div> (look at the JSP source of your fragment). We should try to handle this better; at a minimum preventing the drop (since it doesn't work) but better yet try to fix it if we can. An< f:verbatim> here isn't what you want (this is how you can usually embed html in encoding-children components) because you don't want the JSF children of your html tag inserted verbatim. Somebody in support, can you file an issue to track this one please?
    (2) CSS in fragments: That's a reasonable request. The reason it's not shown there is as you suspected; fragments don't have their own stylesheets (stylesheets can only be added to html documents in the <head> section, and fragments are portions of <body>.)
    Also, in addition to not knowing which stylesheets are in pages that might include the fragments, we also don't know the context; when you see a fragment included in another page it doesn't just pick up styles from the stylesheets but from the context too (for example, a font-size: 48pt setting on a containing element will inherit right into the fragment). Thus, the fragment needs to know the exact element context it should use too.
    If there are multiple pages including the fragment, they might use the same stylesheet if we're lucky, but the fragments will almost certainly have different style element contexts.
    As you've noticed, the fragments already show the styling of the last page they were rendered as part of. This is a side effect of model sharing, and it's a bug I didn't think important to fix since it's sometimes nice ;-)
    However, I can see the argument that in some cases, especially if a fragment is included by only pages with the same stylesheet, it would be nice to apply those styles in the fragments too, even if it won't correctly include other style contexts from the pages. That's a reasonable request.
    (3) Rendered value binding: I agree, we should special case this to make sure rendered is considered true at designtime. I've gotta investigate how that works with some layout components though (like card layout) which I think relies on this (hiding all but one at design time)).

  • My new speakers make the most annoying hissing noise!

    I have just purchased a set of creative megaworks 250d, now having owned an older set of speakers from creative in the past (dt surround system) i had expected the same good quality sound and craftsmanship.
    What did i get? The most annoying hissing sound in the world!
    I switch my system on and it gives out an audible hiss which can be heard upto 5-10meters away, this is completely ridiculous and pretty much ruins any sound which isnt played at a loud level!
    Ive contacted creative customer support who told me to return my product? well, fat use that is when i got my system from ebay and apparently the entire range does the same thing anyway?
    Please no comments about how my system is setup wrong and whether i have power interference, because just to check this i've been to maplins today to buy a power conditioner/filter (which cost me ?100 i may add) and a ground loop isolator, neither of these made any difference at all, still the digital snake invades my ears every time i turn the system on.
    Now i dont know what your trying to pull down at creative labs, but i can guarantee you wont be staying in the market lead making 'high quality computer audio products' that are by design defective. I want a valid solution to my problem please, i see 100 other threads on the internet concerning the same thing and quite frankly its not good enough. How much would it have cost you to install a pass filter inline to the amplifier to reduce this hiss? or is there one and its broken? is it the remote like some people are suggesting?

    *BUMP* Any solution would be good? im fairly adept with electronics so dont mind taking the unit apart if a technician would like to tell me how to fix this hiss. Would a low pass filter on the speaker line be a good solution or maybe ferrite coils on the positve wire?, would either of those work before i go out and spend yet more money?

  • Why did they change Pages icon??? - it was the most beautiful I ever saw!

    I wonder why version 5.0.1 of Pages (that which comes with the new Mavericks OS has been changed. The previous one (an ink bottle with a stylographic pen) was the most beautiful icon I have ever seen. I particularly appreciated the transparency of the glass! And the icon was also functional, so different from anything else in shape and color and so nicely contrasted resulting in high visibility.
    Can someone tell the reason of this choice? Can I get back to the previous version of Pages (keeping the new OS)  to have my beloved icon back?
    thanks
    Dario

    I suspect that they simply changed the icon so that it was clear you were using version 5 of Pages and not the earlier version. 
    I agree that the new version is lacking many of the advanced options of the old version but I am sticking with it and finding ways to do most things I need to in the new version. 
    As I share password protected files with others using Word on Windows PC's, the new facility to password protect .doc files and then open them in pages is a godsend.  I spent half my life borrowing my wife's laptop to add passwords to documents via word, or strip passwords so I could work on the documents in Pages.  Now no longer have this issue Hurrah!!
    By the way, if you had Pages before and have installed the new Pages 5.0.1, then look in you applications folder, you should have the old version still there and can use it without needing to do a time-machine rollback.

  • TS5376 iTunes once again won't close. Past versions of iTunes had the most annoying behavior that when ever closed it would immediately reopen. Apple update just installed the latest version and the problem is back. Help.

    Past versions of iTunes for Windows had the annoying behavior that it couldn't be closed. If I tried to exit or close the window iTunes would just open back up again. It had gone away, but apple just installed version 11.1.5.5 and it's back! The only way to exit is to open task manager and kill the process. Nothing else seems to work. Guess what Apple, I really don't want to have iTunes open all the time. I think the only answer is to stop using iTunes, since I don't have any Apple devices anyway, and go with a different music player on my PC.

    Thanks.
    Just in case, we'd better check on another old potential culprit (don't see it reported much lately, though) ... do you have any Logitech gaming software installed on the PC?
    If so, perhaps try the suggestion from the following post:

    Hey . We posted an update about filtering in playlists over here earlier this week. This should be rolling out. 
    . This is rolled out to a small percent of users to start. We do this with all of our rollouts just to make sure everything is working well. It will be rolling out over the coming weeks. 
      At the moment we're rolling out on iOS, but we hope to release an Android version soon. We'll be sure to update this thread as soon as we have more info. 

  • So frustrated that updating software has lead to the most annoying issues I couldve avoided by NOT updating!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I reallllllllllllllllllllllly wish someone could help me out with this. My contacts are not syncing with phone calls or text messages. Im only getting the phone# and when I try to add a contact from a text message that's already in my address book, it repeats the #, one under "mobile" and one under "iPhone". ***?!?! I'm never going to do a software update EVER AGAIN, how in the world does trying to help make your phone better make it worse?? I've tried the iCloud thing, I've tried turning it completely off then on again, I've tried just about everything I can think of and NOTHING is helping. I've made another appt. to speak with an Apple customer service rep, but got nowhere when I spoke with one yesterday. I'm hoping someone can help me out with this...everytime someone texts me, I have to try and figure out who it is, I try to go into my contacts and start a search with the area code, but that doesnt help me because it wont search with the # only the name...I'm beyond annoyed with this situation and would greatly appreciate anyone's help!

    In earlier threads about other routers, this feature had to be disabled in order to log in:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Security tab
    ''Uncheck'' "Tell web sites I do not want to be tracked"
    But if it worked in Firefox 4, that probably isn't the problem...
    Can you check whether turning off saving of passwords helps with that second part?
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Security tab
    ''Uncheck'' "Remember passwords for sites"
    You also could try Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Close Firefox and... hold the Shift key and restart Firefox. When you get the initial dialog, don't reset anything. More info:
    [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode].
    Does that improve the situation?
    If all else fails, we might need help reviewing the bug fixes in Firefox 5 to see whether any might be related; it's a huge list:

  • Most annoying Problem Ever With New itunes update

    I was updating itunes the other day to the latest version, once the update completed, i started to listening to music as you do, then the music stopped and itunes closed. ???? so i then installed it again once it wouldn't open and it wont install, when i install i am greeted by a message saying;
    "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to be completed could not be run. contact your support personnel or package vendor".
    When i ok this, the install backtracks then installs again then it says itunes has been successfully installed on your computer....tidy!
    But then when i try to open the program it tries to configure itunes the fails with the message "Fatal error 07" then even the shortcuts on the desktop fail.
    I have searched extensively everywhere and done everything, uninstalled ever aspect of anything apple, bonjour etc. cleaned registry, disk cleanups. and it still fails.
    If anyone has a solution to this problem i will be eternally grateful and you will be invited to my birthday party.
    P.S - even bonjour doesnt work aswel as quicktime.
    Thankyou, Chris

    I have the same problem. Cannot clean Quick Time or Itunes to install new version and now I don't have Itunes. The Windows Clean up Utility is no longer available. QWuick Time is looking for cache files which is not there. I cannot use my Iphone.
    Any help?

  • Sleep Light Most Annoying thing ever.

    I was wondering if t here is a way to turn off the sleep light or if Apple could programm a way in the future to turn off this sleep light. I have my mac in my bedroom and cannot turn it against the wall or throw something over it. I have taped stuff over the light but this is sooooo ugly. I like to have a nice bedroom with my beautiful apple computer, not some taped up one. The other thing that drives me crazy is the Aiport Extreme base station lights. Whoever thought of these flashing lights needs to change it.

    You do know that you can change the light behaviour of the AirPort Express station with the AirPort Admin Utility under "Base Station options", do you? Set it to constantly on, and it will be less annoying.
    What exact Model is your iMac G5? Maybe you can install the ALS firmware Update to get a turned down light during the dark hours.
    Each Mac with an ALS (Ambient Light Sensor) will turn down the sleep light intensity when it is dark in the room. With Portables this of course only works when the lid is open. Obviously otherwise there would be no reading on the sensors.
