This is absolutely ridiculous...

Firstly my computer won't even recognize my mini in iTunes but that's not it. Since no songs can be exported to my mini I decided to look around the iPod's menu and stumbled onto the about of the iPod. I was shocked to find that then my iPod that said as clear as day on the box of its capacity of 4 GB is actually 3.7 GB. What kind of nonsense is this when I haven't even put anything onto the iPod. Someone please help me out.

Hi there!
I'm using a Pentium 4 PC with 2.02 ghz, no error messages have been shown and I've installed the software two times so far. The second run through seems to be better since there have been some folders on the G : removeable drive (the mini's default drive when connected to the computer but i'm sure you know that). I read a few other posts on the issue of having less GB than the box states even when no music is on the mini so I feel I should move on to why I can't get any music on the iPod. In Itunes it states that no iPod is connected to the computer when the USB and all are actually fixed. I tried switching up the USB ports to see if maybe another port would work but that didn't work either

I feel the same exact way! I am absolutely livid with how much I have been charged over these past few months. How is it I was informed by my school that Adobe would only charge us $9.97. After I signed up, I dropped the course which required us to have Adobe Cloud. Now I check my bank account and I see I am continuously being charged $32.04 every month. This is abdolutely outrageous! Now I'm calling trying to cancel it and they're telling me I have to pay an extra month. This is mind blowing! Something needs to be done.

I have an iPhone 6 and an iPad air and each time I try to download the IOS 8.1 update I get the message "software update failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 8." What is wrong? This problem is ridiculous and frankly annoying

Hi Wingzfan13,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you can't update the iOS device. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

ALWAYS unresponive to my iphone. Just stops working when I plug it in. downloaded older version, newer version.....use my iphone for my pdf book in college.....this is just ridiculous....

ALways love my iphone. Now itunes is ALWAYS unresponive to my iphone. Just stops working when I plug it in. downloaded older version, newer version.....use my iphone for my pdf book in college.....this is just ridiculous....

Downloaded older version and newer version of what. Any attempts to downgrade iOS are not allowed. Also, using iTunes with the latest iOS and iTunes requires the latest version.
I suggest that you remove and reinstall iTunes using this support document. You need to follow the steps exactly or you will just create more problems, which I think you already have. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923

HT5096 This procedure absolutely does NOT work

Because of the sparse storage format of the Backups.backupdb directory, the Finder thinks the directory is much larger than it actually is. In fact, in many cases, such as mine, it thinks that it is MUCH larger than the physical drive on which it resides.
For example, I have a 1TB drive and the Time Machine directory claims to be more than 5TB. When I go to copy it over to another 1TB drive it says that it cannot execute the copy because the size is too large and there is not enough room. Although there actually is enough room.
In any case, the procedure outlined in this memo ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT WORK.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] and see if that helps!

This crossgrade is RIDICULOUS!!

Apple said that they would make this Intel transition as painless as possible. Well this crossgrade nonsense completely contradicts that! I can order an upgrade from FCP 1,2,3 online or in a store, but I can't purchase an upgrade from 4 or 5 to the Universal? That is terrible! What are they thinking?
Why not do the upgrade like every other piece of software? Insert 5.1 disk....insert original 4.5 or 5 disk...done. No instead, I have to take the disk I paid for, stick it in the mail, and hope it arrives safely in Indiana. Is this 1975 or 2006? I wouldn't be so bothered if you could bring the disk to a retailer and exchange it, but this is nuts!
Now I have this nice new super-fast intel machine, but I can't run my software for another week or more. Furthermore, there are no detailed instructions on the proper way to do this. Do you instal the old version on the intel first then upgrade with the new disk?
Hey Apple, do you realize that this will probably just cause people to take there chances with a download from a torrent site?

but I can't purchase an upgrade from 4 or 5 to the Universal?<<</div>
Sure you can. The details can be accessed here: http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade
Why not do the upgrade like every other piece of software? Insert 5.1 disk....insert original 4.5 or 5 disk...done.<<</div>
Oh really? Most of the software I've upgraded doesn't require the previous disc at all - just the serial number.
I have to take the disk I paid for, stick it in the mail, and hope it arrives safely<<</div>
Yep. The same thing the other thousands of people who've done the crossgrade have had to do. Mine took exactly 5 business days from the time I dropped my old install disc in the mail.
Now I have this nice new super-fast intel machine, but I can't run my software for another week or more<<</div>
Don't get mad at Apple because you didn't do your research - the process has been well documented since February of this year - maybe you were stuck in 1975 and didn't notice. By the way, how much software did you upgrade in 1975?
Furthermore, there are no detailed instructions on the proper way to do this<<</div>
Wrong. The details are in the "Installing Your Software" booklet that comes with the crossgrade package. The 5.1 installer doesn't need the old FCP install disc ... otherwise why would Apple want you to send it in? It ain't rocket surgery.
Hey Apple, do you realize that this will probably just cause people to take there chances with a download from a torrent site?<<</div>
People that will do that will always be around. They're also usually the ones that cheat on their taxes and spouses, pilfer from their employer and in general have a nonexistent or very weak sense of morality.
I have to say that yours is one of the most pathetic posts I've seen around here in a long, long time. Or in other words; your post is RIDICULOUS!!

NO phone memory - N97 - Absolutely RIDICULOUS

Right, my phone memory (C is now down to about 200kb. I've not really got anything installed on it other than email and maps, also I store my messages on my mass memory. Yet my C: drive just shrinks and shrinks. I'm now left with not even enough memory to send an email. It's an absolute joke.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do with this phone, other than throw it in a river? I'm just disgusted with the piece of junk. Shame on you, Nokia. Shame on you. I will never buy another phone from you again. This is the last straw.

For messaging all your messages can be saved to E, assuming you are useing the standard email client and NOT Nokia Messaging, which both has to install on and save messages to C, which is why I don;t use it ! The rest of the advice is pretty straight forward, but there are 100's of threads on the forum regarding saving and optimising the C memory on the N97, do a couple of searches in the search function on the forum !

Please help me open itunes! This is getting ridiculous.

This is the third time I've posted this... no one has answered so far... and I've been without iTunes for over a week now!!!
When trying to open iTunes, a dialog box opens up with the caption "*iTunes Setup Assistant*", and header line "*Download Album Artwork*" which tells me how I can go to the iTunes store and get album artwork from there.
Included in this dialog box are two buttons to choose from: "Next" and "Cancel". I have tried clicking on both of these, to no avail. Nothing happens at all, and I cannot close down the box with the "x" in the top left hand corner either.
After a short while (and a whirrring noise from my frozen laptop), another smaller dialog box opens up with the caption: "*Upgrade Available*", detailing: "*A new version of the Qloud plug-in for iTunes (3.0.1090) is available. Click OK to upgrade*". I am offered two buttons: "OK" and "Cancel". Nothing happens when I click on either of these buttons, except that annoying "blink" sound that means 'nothing doing'.
The dialog box appears in front of every window, and cannot be moved out of the way. The only way to close it is to "End Task" through the Windows Task Manager.
iTunes will not open even after re-booting! Reluctantly, I removed the iTunes and the Quick Time programs from the computer, rebooted, and re-installed iTunes, but the bug is STILL there. I've repeated this, pointlessly, about three or four times. The same thing still happens. It's really upsetting not to be able to open my iTunes library, or update my iPod!
Please help!

What version of the Mac operating system is installed on your MacBook? To find this information, go to the Apple menu, select About this Mac and look where it says version.
iTunes 11.0.1 requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later, so if you want to use your iPhone with your MacBook, you will need to update the OS on the MacBook at least that far.
You can purchase 10.6.8 on disk from Apple for $20 (in the USA.)
If you want to get a more recent OS, let us know what the specs on your MacBook are, we'll tell you what you can get.
Best of luck.

I know this will sound ridiculous but I have "lost" the arrow key (to go back or forward) at the top on the bar. I swear I used to be able to just click and arrow to see the previous page and now it's not there. Help!?

I know this sounds crazy but I have "lost" my arrow key at the top of the screen to go forward or back. I'm sure it used to be there but it's really bugging me that I can't find it. It's a real pain trying to go one page back. Help?!

If this is Safari that you've lost the arrows in, go to Safari > view > show toolbar.
If the toolbar is present and the arrows missing then right click on the toolbar and select "customize toolbar".
Drag the arrows or the default set back to the bar.

This is absolutely ludicrous.

Why do you make it so bloody difficult to cancel a subscription? It tells me to contact support, but support seemingly isn't home as I keep getting "chat is unavailable" messages.
Do I need an attorney present to divorce you? What is required to simply get a damn method for canceling without bothering to jump through flaming hoops and to walk over hot coals? I'd like to know, Adobe. Holding people prisoner like this is a good business model to you?
I try and do the right thing by you by paying for your product when a lot of people pirate it. What do I get in return? Headaches and no easy answers or ways to cancel the account.

This may sound ridiculous but how do you stop a song playing ?

I can play a song, pause a song, shuffle and many other things but I can not find any function that just stops it altogether!
In video you press the "done" button but no such thing appears in music - am I going mad?!

I think that the "Close" just means "make this little music window go away now," not "Close down the music app." At least, that's how it's always worked for me (before and after the upgrade). If you are playing music and doing something else and bring up that music window on top of what you're doing, you still need to hit pause in order to stop the music.
If you hit pause and the "Now Playing" arrow is still up, it doesn't really mean much except that you can easily get back to what you were playing if you go back into your music. Your music isn't still playing. It's just holding your place. That's how I think of it, at least.

This heat is ridiculous

I have a dual cooling fan that props up my MBP and after a while, the fans just shut off and the temp hits the high 100s before not showing anything. What can I do? The nearest Apple store is 60 miles away and I do not have the time to go.

Why can't Apple make decent hardware? I agree fully that the heat output of a MBP is ludicrous. My wife recently bought a 17" Toshiba laptop with Intel Core2Duo (admittedly running at only 1.7ish GHz compared to my MBP Core Duo 2.16GHz) and it runs as cool as a cucumber. AND you can, if you want, actually use it as a LAPTOP! It has a vent on the side which spews out hot air - it actually COOLS the processor! I wonder why MBPs actually have fans, I can never feel any hot air actually coming out of the thing. I never dare close the lid until at least five minutes after I've switched it off for fear of causing irreparable heat damage to the screen.
Using the whole unit as a heatsink is really just a lame excuse by Apple which translates as "no, we haven't found a way to cool the processor. It has never occurred to us to cut some extra vents in the case. It might look a bit ugly, and all we care about is aesthetics, not performance or value for money. Hopefully running the processor and all other internal components at a volcanic temperature will considerably shorten their life, so you'll have to buy a new Mac. We're all off to Starbucks now".
Oh yes, and her 17" Toshiba was £299 delivered, less than a FIFTH of what I paid for my 15" MacBook Pro/toaster! And it has SIX USB ports, unlike my TWO! ...And a card reader, and 2GB RAM, and 120GB HD, and Firewire, and a modem, and a numerical input pad (why don't 17" Macs have these?).....I could go on.....oh yes, and the DVD writer actually WORKS! (See all the complaints about shoddy DVD drives in this forum if you dare!). Oh yes, the speakers and trackpad are better on my Mac. That's where my other £1200 went!
It annoys me that the Mac OS costs thousands of dollars / pounds. Yes, it IS a good OS, but the fact that we have to pay such a massive premium to buy the sub-standard hardware to run it really hacks me off. Especially when you consider that it is a close relative of Linux...erm, how much does that cost?
Shame, I used to like Apple, having owned a succession of Macs.

Nano won't appear in Windows or iTunes...this is getting ridiculous...help!

I've had my iPod for about 4 months.
It isn't appearing in iTunes or Windows.
I've tried the 5 R's, none of which worked.
When I try and use the iPod updater to restore my Nano it just says "Initializing..." and after a few seconds it says "Invalid iPod service version" and shuts down.
My computer operates really slowly when my iPod is connected.
When I try to disconnect it, it takes ages...only to tell me that my iPod can not be disconnected.
So I have no choice but to just pull it out of the USB port.
When my iPod is connected, it just freezes on the "do not disconnect" screen...which doesn't flash, the screen simply freezes.
So when I disconnect it, I have to restart the iPod just to use it.
Please help I've been scouring the support site trying to solve this myself, and sorry for bothering you all with this common question, this is just a last resort as NOTHING I have tried is working.
Thanks.

I think its an external harddrive library issue bug in itunes<<<</div>
Nope. That's my configuration and no problems whatever.
I switch to Mac for less problems and have had more crashes, pinwheels and issues than I ever imagined<<<</div>
Is that your iPod problem? Please explain more.
Someone from apple must be reading this!<<<</div>
Nope. This is a user-to-user forum. Employees occasionally read posts but not as a regular assignment.
Have you tried the link that Kylene suggested?

This defies absolutely any of my comprehension.

Oh yes, seen plenty of things like that and worse.I was being interviewed for a job; and the recruiter decided to take me on a tour of the IT office and their "server room". My immediate reaction was OMFGYHGTBKM!!!The "server room" was a room with two doors; no air conditioning, so they left boththe doors open to cool things down. The rack had a couple of patch panels with some shitty old generic switches that looked as if they were installed when Methuselah was a lad.The patch leads poured out the front of the rack in a multi coloured waterfall of PVC.The "Servers" were mostly tower devices, a couple of them were probably desktop PC pressed into service as servers. These were stacked on their sides on a table in the middle of the room; 2 of them didn't have their side panels on (no explanation why). A few more were under the table,...

I'm working on a system for a client's SMB wants to upgrade win XP to 8. I take the system so I'm not in their way while wait for install. I go to try to download nothing check the I.P address.
1. His network is like 10 systems and has win server just use DHCP and be done.
2. The network uses a 192.168.x.x/24 address the gateway is 10.10.X.X (I have to assume is some default value that the prior person just left when setup the SonicWALL router.) I have no clue how the heck this can even possibly work.
That and blank passwords for local admin account are you kidding me. I've seen some dumb things done by "contractors" but this is pathetic.

Absolutely ridiculous- multiple 'Multiplexer errors'.

I keep having this problem trying to burn a DVD I made that I've imported into iDVD. I've done every suggestion I have found on these forums (trust me!), but no luck. I have a show I have to get to a client, and they are becoming increasingly impatient with me.
Has anyone out there figured out why so many people are having these Multiplexer Errors with iDVD?
I'm sorry I sound so upset, but I have clients breathing down my neck and I've been at this for a week trying to figure this one out. I used to have no problems with iDVD (always loved it) until I installed 10.5.8. Could it be that?

Hi
No this is still an enigma - but here are my collected thoughts about this.
• You got >> than 25Gb free space on intyernal boot hard disk ! Others of no interest.
• You've trashed the pref file and started a new project
• You even tried to create a new User account / log into this and start a new iDVD project
• Run Repair Permissions and ev. Repair hard disk (Apple Disk Util tool)
Still problems read on
*Multiplexing Error*
Use of strange video/audio material eg .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
I only use.
Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) (others I convert to this) and
Audio = .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else coverted to this .aff 48KHz)
I think Hypen IS A PROBLEM
Using strange letters in video project name eg +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9
strange letters in project name eg +
as described by Donnyboy69. Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
from Robert Modero.
"Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
Once I did that, I was back in business.
I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
I use only - Verbatim DVDs
I use only - DVD-R
I burn at an as slow speed possibly eg x1 or x4 - set in iDVD pref.
This gives good DVDs
Yours Bengt W

This is absolutely ridiculous...
