The worst software I have ever used

I have an Ipod Nano 4gb which was a birthday present back in October. Looking through this forum I see that I'm not the only one having problems.
My conclusion is that although the ipod is brilliant the software to get tunes onto it is the worst I have ever come acrossIt's so slow,it does diferent things each time it's used, it's not user freindly, it's just crap (itunes). I've heard a lot about Apple being the best computers from my experience with itunes I would need a lot of convincing.
Very dissatisfied, come on Apple show us what you can do with an updated version of Itunes that is both useable and friendly, we shouldn't have to rely on those on the forum to put our problems right

I have to agree with Mitch here. iTunes is one of the easiest and most user friendly pieces of software I have ever used, and that's my expereince on both Windows and a Mac.
Maybe if you asked a question of the many knowledgeable folks here, you would get some help?

Yeah, I know what you mean. The tyres on my Mercedes as supplied by the manufacturer were poor. Must mean my car is garbage huh?

    Pull down View > Show Sidebar. This will give you back the same functionality of iTunes 10.x.x.

    Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

    Hi Gregg,
    Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.

  • This is more of a statement than a question but I can't stand iTunes. It is THE WORST application I've ever used.

    The single worst application I've ever used. Period. I'll never buy another song or use it as a back up again. I'll pay $9.99 per month for Spotify and a cloud-based back up service instead of using this PoS software to backup my family's iPhones. I consider myself a loyal Apple user having owned at least two Apple computers since the early 1990's.

    If you like crappy quality and remakes of songs from nobodys then use Spotify. If you can't use iTunes then maybe you need computer lessons. It doesn't get much easier than iTunes. Yes,they changed it and made it a bit clunky if you ask me, but for an all around video and music manager, CD burner,streamer and radio,it doesn't get much better.

  • I recently purchased a used ibook g4 and want to update to itunes 10.2. It tells me i need mac os 10.5 to do so. Today is the first day I have ever used a mac and I am not well versed on computers to begin with. What do I need to do?

    I recently purchased a used ibook g4 and i want to update to itunes 10.2. It tells me that I need to update to mac os 10.5.  Today is the fist time that I have ever used a mac and I am not very well versed on computers to begin with. From what I gather I need to purchase the mac os 10.5 but there are a lot of different options and I dont know what I need to do. Can somebody point me in the right direction?  I dont want to spend too much money because i just want my ipod touch to be compatible with my ibook. thank you

    Hi
    Your question is more suitable for the 10.4's General Forum rather than 10.4 OSX Server. Post here instead:

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 is the worst printer I have ever had and I regret getting it

    To anyone who is thinking of getting a new printing and is considering getting the HP Offiejet Pro 8500 - DON'T DO IT!!!!  This printer was purchased was purchased for me as a holiday gift.  I was so excited to get it b/c it seemed as if this printer could do everything, and it does do everything except for print out nicely and quickly.  This printer SUCKS down ink and I am constantly having to purchase new cartridges (colored ones once ever 6 weeks for $25.00 a piece x 3).  The printer is loud, it is slow, but worst of all it doesnt' print out documents the way it should so I am wasting a ton of paper and ink.  The lines skip, there are large blank spots on my pages, the colors are off.  In short, this thing is terrible and it is only 3 months old.  I can't imagine how much worse it will get over time.  I'm sorry I got it.

    Sorry, Here the answers:- your router does not work (reocrgnized other printers thoug, funny enough)- "you have a problem with Windows " (funny that, we have a windos 7 and windose 8 computer, better call Mr. Gates to tell him that HP said that his systems don´t work)- connected the printer with USB cable: Even this works only on a good day choosen by the printer  For a back up,  have to use really every second time the printer of my brother in law. It is the oldest Epson printer you can imagine. Prints like a treat. It is a joke.  HP tech service on the phone: Looking for mistakes in others from:"Did you plug in the printer?"to "Call you network provider" I hate the printer. Will never again buy an HP. Welcome suggestions.  Regards

  • AirPort Express- The worst product I have ever purchased

    I moved from Microsoft to Apple because I thought it was the right thing to do...when I say that I mean I am not clever and just realized Apple is sexier kit and is more powerful...however takes some getting used to. I installed my new IMAC 24 inch with no problem. I later purchased an Airport Extreme as I was told (by Apple salespeople) this was the best way to run an Apple environment. Who would have guessed that the salespeople were liars....everyone but me at the time! The Apple Extreme base station worked for two days and then does not even work most of the time, when it does it has only one bar of wireless strength and it is 1 metre away from my computer, so is useless. I then bought a time capsule as I was told an extra base station in my home would be beneficial....the everytime I install the time capsule software it must overwrite the base station extreme software as one works and the other does not. It's frustrating!!!! Apple has these awful rules and crap to try and explain why it is not feasible to make my device work!!!
    Do not buy an Apple base station or Net App Extreme!

    I think if you look around here and other forums you will see we are not the only ones complaining.
    i find the touch screen extremely difficult to use. I am using the updated firmware and i have recalibrated it.. it is obviously better then before the upgraded firmware but it is not acceptable in my book.
    I try to scroll through the screens to find what i want to hear and i constantly end up accidentally selecting something else.
    this thing is supposed to be the king of the creative crop of mp3 players. It was released way before it was ready if you ask me.
    maede
    how do you use creative central to upload album covers.
    could you fill us in, i know there are about a dozen people on here having issues with album art and if you have some info it would be nice of you to share.
    BTW,I can't even get creative central to rip a CD. i have to use windows media player and once it is ripped from there it automatically shows up in creative central. all the album art shows on both windows media player and creative central.

  • Probook 430 G1 - The worst notebook I have ever had

    Good Afternoon HP (or whoever may be reading this),
    This email is written to address HP customer support.
    I will try to keep this message as civilized as possible. I abhor people who abuse manufacturers/sellers just because they have a problem with a product. In this case however, I am beginning to reach the absolute edge of my patience, and so I beg for your forgiveness if I come across as being too blunt.
    In August 2012, I purchased a Probook 430 G1, which was one of the newest batches installed with the Haswell chips back then. This was a student promotion offered by my school, Nanyang Technological University, in Singapore.
    I don't really want to get into the specifics of the EXTRAORDINARY journey with this laptop, because it makes my blood boil. But the gist of the matter is this: I paid approximately SGD$1200 for this unit, a i7-4200, 4GB RAM model, hoping for a decent experience. What I got back in return was a horrendous laptop which had problems surface from the 2nd day I began to use it. That's right, 2nd day, not 2nd week or 2nd month.
    I sent the laptop to HP service centre for a total of 3 times, as well as 1 time where they sent a technician over to try and resolve my problem by installing a new hard disk and then a new motherboard. Problems, not necessarily happening all at once were:
    Ultra-incredibly slow performance. I would click on Settings, and it would take 5 minutes before the Power option came up, another 5 minutes before the Sleep, Shutdown, and Restart options came up, and another 5 minutes before the laptop actually shut down. Clicking on internet explorer would take 5 minutes before the browser started to open.
    Screen brightness went crazy. I suppose there is a auto mechanism to change the screen brightness according to ambient light. Well, all I can say is that there were times for no reason the laptop would intermittently change brightness back and forth in a jerky manner which almost gave me an epileptic fit
    Hard disc problem detected, please blah blah reset blah blah diagnostic blah blah. Every single freaking time I switched on or off my laptop, the same message would appear.
    Two times when I sent the laptop for repair, and specifically on the second time, I was told that it was a hard disk problem (I don't need to know that because the computer already displayed that. Tell me something more which any 5 year old kid looking at the computer screen can read out) and that they would replace it for me. I insisted the second time that I was sure it couldn't be a hard disk problem because the first time I retreived my laptop from the service centre, the EXACT SAME PROBLEM had occured. I implored them to perform A THOROUGH CHECK ON THE LAPTOP rather than just replace the hard disk, and was told that they would. But hey when I went back to collect the laptop, guess what had been done this time? HARD DISK CHANGED AGAIN. Of course, I was delighted that they took my begging into consideration. And yes you guessed it, THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM... AGAIN happened. And so came the third repair request...
    I was told that they would dispatch a technician down to my hostel (I stay on campus) to help be rectify the problem. In the first place, they did not send the technician during the time period which they promised, but I'm not too strung up over that. The technician stripped my laptop to the barebones, and said that everything looked fine, and by examination, from looking at the components, the only evidence of change over the last two repair sessions was a simple hard disk change, and that the other components had not been removed for checking or diagnostics (another indicator of A NICE, THOROUGH CHECK). So he said changing the motherboard might help, and of course I'd kill to make the laptop finally fully functional (this was already 1 year + after the original purchase. I had reverted back to using my DYING OLD LAPTOP WHICH WAS STILL BETTER THAN THE USELESS HP JUNK I HAD TO DEAL WITH)
    So he replaced the motherboard and everything, but when rebooting and doing some technical stuff, he told me that a NEW ERROR HAD OCCURED, and that the diagnostics for the battery had failed. Yay. Pleased to say however, I never use my laptop unconnected to a power source so goodness, saving myself from even more horrors. Well I could make do with that right?...
    And now the latest problem. Cache problems. I don't really know what that means but trying to surf the internet has been murder. 'Waiting/ trying to detect the cache' or some message like that always pops up at the bottom, SSL Connection errors, the script can't even load. Can't even connect sometimes. The screen resolution I don't even know how to describe e.t.c, e.t.c, x100. I don't want to say more, but it is UNFREAKING POSSIBLE TO USE THIS LAPTOP FOR ANY USEFUL PURPOSE.
    Okay so my rant is nearly almost over. I just want to say this. I am sick and tired of travelling down from my busy schedule just to give my laptop for HP to change my hard disk so lamely like that. I am tired of trying to troubleshoot, call, find HP contacts (Probook 430 is not even recognized on the model detection page for goodness sake). For the record, I had a decent-ish experience with my previous laptop which was also HP, and generally during the 3 times I phoned in, the HP person attending to me was very accomodating, polite and sympathetic, and I cannot help but be impressed by it.
    But honestly, I feel like demanding nothing less than a full refund for my $1200 because honestly, I have spent more time trying to repair my laptop than using it properly. For the record, I have never asked for a refund for anything in my entire life. This is the first time I really want to do that. I will never ever buy a HP laptop after this because this experience has been too traumatizing to describe.
    HP, if you are reading this, please wake up and buck up your idea

    Hi @gyx9 ,
    I have sent you issue to be escalated and do check your private message when a HP employee reaches out to you.

  • Oracle's web site is one of the most frustrating I have ever used

    Hi,
    There are two major issues with oracles main web site: lack of consistency and lack of information.
    I would challenge anyone to draw any sort of coherent information architecture map of the oracle property. It would be a dogs breakfast because there is no consistency in how the site is laid out. Consequently a new user has no idea where to go to get the information you want. Sometimes you are directed to downloads from landing pages and other times its more product information. But it's rarely what you expect.
    Secondly, take for example the download a the BPEL Process Manager for JBoss. I can't even find that page now where I downloaded it from... But, nowhere in the download page, and nowhere in the 100+MB download is there any explanation of what JBoss versions are supported. Just unbelievable.
    If I did not have to use the web site, I would never go near it!
    Cheers,
    The Captn.

    Actually, I find there is an amazing amount of consistency. I believe that Oracle's technology web face is organized as a set of portals. Let me walk you through an example:
    Start at Oracle's main tech page, Oracle Technet at http://otn.oracle.com . That page, and virtually all those below, are organized as follows:
    Top banner - log in, search (not particularily good),
    Top shortcuts - quick links to First glance, Download, Documentation, Forums, Samples and Tutorial portals
    Left nav bar - Product, Technology (overlapping product or OSS), Architecture, Community portals by category
    Right Nav bar - Portal specific navigation to docs, demos, downloads, tutorials, etc.
    Center - the actual content of this portal
    So, if I'm looking for BPM for JBoss, knowing that's a middeware product, I'd go to the Left Nav bar, Products: Middleware to get to the Middleware portal.
    That portal has the same general layout as above, so I concentrate on the center section. Just below the enormous (and confusing) picture, I notice the Fusion Middleware Family links which includes BPEL Process Manager. Click to get to that portal, and
    That portal has the same general layout as above. This one's an end portal as it's got references to documentation, downloads, and white papers. It's may have the information I'm looking for. In fact, it's got the link to the download page you want.
    On that download page, I note, close to the bottom is an older download of BPM for JBoss, and it specifies "Oracle BPEL Process Manager 10.1.2.0.2 for JBOSS (v3.2.6) ". That is the older one, so I assume the newer download is either for that version or a newer version.
    Aside from that, some of Oracle's better kept secrets are their Certification Matrices. In general, you could check http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/metalink/index.html and for App Server matrix, look at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/oracle_soa_certification_101310.html
    Hope that helps.

  • Easily the worst phone I have ever owned...

    I "upgraded" this summer to a BlackBerry Q5 from a HTC Desire HD. I use inverted commas to highlight my complete and utter dissatisfaction with my handset. I have already replaced my handset once because it showed similar problems which have reoccurred with my new device. 
    As it stands:
    Massive overheating problem which causes the battery to run completely flat in around 10 minutes from a full charge and occasionally the screen turning blue and remaining that way for a few days. 
    I cannot access my texts, they simply don't appear on the hub and if I press the icon for "text messages" it takes me through to my hotmail account (which is also not recieving new messages) 
    I cannot access the browser, it loads up a blank window with the URL bar but doesn't respond to anything other than swiping upwards to then close the window. 
    Finally I cannot access any of my media files. A message appears saying there is an error and can't read any of the media files (music, pictures, video etc.)
    I went down to the shop where I purchased the phone who also gave me a replacement handset when the first Q5 was faulty. They told me to have a go at downloading the newest software update and if that didn't remedy the problem to do a full factory reset. 
    I got home, connected to my home Wi-Fi and tried to download the software update. Guess what? No dice. So I have since started a full factory reset. It has been showing the same loading screen for around 2 and a half hours and shows no signs of starting again. 
    I reccomend to anyone that they stay clear of this particular device and would be interested to know if it is just this model which shows these problems. Maybe BlackBerry thinks that because it is not a premium device and is aimed at those who want a more simple handset, it is not worth makiing it reliable. 
    I chose BlackBerry because I was told that they were the most reliable manufacturer. I am extremely disappointed with the Q5 especially as I am locked into a very long contract which is not cheap and I am NOT recieving a service which merits the pricetag. 
    I definitely will not be purchasing a BlackBerry device in the future.

  • The worst company i have ever had to deal with.

    on the 9th of may 2013 i tried to order bt infinity 2 with unlimited tv and unlimited phone calls,i tried to order online to be eligible for the £50 sainsburys voucher but when i went to place the order i kept getting an internal server error from the website.
    i had to then ring bt up and explain about the error and this led to the order being placed over the phone.about a week later it dawned on me that i might not be eligible for the voucher so i rang bt to enquire where i stood with it,i was told that i wasnt eligible for the voucher and the only way was to cancel that order and place a new one online.this was done over the phone on the 22nd of may.i was told by the guy that cancelled the order i would have to wait 24 hours for the existing order to clear off bt,s system before i could place a new one.i waited until the 23rd of may and tried to place a new order online to no avail.
    i got a message that read like this....as there is ongoing work at your exchange your new technology is being installed,no orders can be placed until this work is complete.
    i rang bt and explained what happened and the girl said this was because the engineer from bt openreach was still booked to install my infinity2 on the 31,st of may which was the original orders installation date,until this was cleared off thier system i couldnt place a new order,she would personally speak to bt openreach and get it removed and i should be able to re-order online within the hour.
    i tried to re-order an hour later with success.order in place,email confirming order with a ref number,in the email it says if you havent had a confirmation email or letter within 5 days of the 23rd then ring us with the ref number.
    28th i ring bt with the ref number and i get told that no orders are on my account and no evidence of that ref number on my account,this could be due to an existing order still being on the system and until its removed you cant order anything from bt,by now im feeling a bit miffed as my sky is cancelled and my broadband is cancelled and time is running out.the girl now says she will go to order management and get whatever is on my account removed and it would happen within 24 hours (1.pm 28th may phonecall) and she would ring me backto place a new order and also she would get the order fast-tracked as its thier fault and it would speed the installation up within 3 days so im expecting a phonecall before 1pm on the 29th may,no phonecall so i leave it until 3.30 pm and ring bt,a lady answers and looks at the notes on my account,apologises for the girl not calling me back and says she will personally get it removed off my account within half an hour and promises to ring me back at 4.30pm to place a new order.5pm no phonecall so i rang again and the first thing say to the lady that answers is this is the last time i will ring bt ever,she apologised for whatever was wrong and hopes she can help,i explain everything that happened and she looks at the notes on my account,advises me that the item what was still on my account was down to be removed and should go off my account today(29th) and all i could do was wait for a phonecall to tell me it has been removed.
    one word
    laughable.
    obviously bt dont want my £70 a month so it will be a phonecall to sky tomorrow to reinstate my tv and broadband.

    If you do go with Sky don't forget to cancel the BT order or you might end up with them billing you for the install.

  • I have never used indesign to type in text on the spine of a book for submission as a book cover with the POD company Lightning Source. I would be so grateful if someone could tell me how to do this. This is the first time I have ever used a forum.

    Help! How do I type in text on the spine of a book cover template in indesign?

    1. Determine the spine width first. Note that the spine width is relative to the thickness of the paper used for printing. For example, your book is of 300 pages, the spine thickness varies relative to paper thickness (say, 60gsm paper or 70gsm paper, or thicker art paper varieties). Get in touch with the Printer to give you a bound dummy (blank pages) with as many number of pages as your book has. Measure the spine manually from it. When you are more experienced, you would be able to calculate the thickness just by knowing the paper thickness (multiply by number of pages of the book).
    2. Create a spread to represent the back cover (left) and front cover (right). Increase the width of either the left page or right page, to make it exactly the width of book + spine width. Use guides to separate the spine from the cover design area. Type the spine matter and rotate the frames to fit to the spine. Rotation of frames should be in such a way that when the book is kept on table with its front cover on top, the spine text matters should be erect (not be upside down). On completion the whole design should have the bleed area on all four sides, left page as back cover, spine in the middle with rotated text frames, right page as front cover.
    OR
    3. You can also make the spine a separate page. Create a page exactly of the width of spine. Go to Pages panel fly-out and uncheck "allow document pages to shuffle". Arrange the three pages, the back cover the spine and the front cover in that order side by side in the pages panel (you can drag-drop the pages to make the 3 pages spread). Go to layout to make finishing touches.
