Total frustration - no main screen, no thought

I can't believe I'm at this computer for two days and can't get much of anything done. This iTunes seems to be only for music, and email addresses, pictures, etc is an afterthought.
The Screen is NOT what is in instructions
"Select the iPod touch in the iTunes source list" IT IS NOT THERE!!!
I seem to be able to get the the summary and other pages only by shutting down the software and restarting it clicking on things before they disappear.
Apple USED to be intuitive. This is GARBAGE. Sell it as an mp3 player, not as email and pictures --- or give us a software that is written for that purpose!!!
Give me an icon to sync emails!
Give me a way to add things instead of erasing things!
And write a decent instruction sheet instead of 98 pages of garbage and marketing slop.
Is there anyone who can put this in real language?
and put a decent interface in the software?

Dude, chill. The iPod IS only an MP3 Player, except it has added a few niceties.
Besides, no one from apple will hear you here, since this is a non-moderated user-to-user forum.
If you want to tell Apple, go to www.apple.com/feedback
Don't expect them to answer, though.
However, I'm sorry to hear you're having problems with your iPod, I hope they'll clear up.

  • Frustrated - Z3 Main Screen peeling off on right end corner in 2 months time.

    It is So disappointing that within 3 months from the date of purchase.. my Z3 main screen had popped out of the body on the right top end corner. Given it to servie center yesterday ( 29.5.2015), service center authorities have examined my phone and approved there is no physical damage and accepted it absolutely a manufacturing defect. 
    What more disappointing is, it takes 20-30 days to reapir my phone. so called big brand SONY has to fix this kind of problem. It is so Embarassing to face fellow colleagues when they had gone for Apple by spending similar money I belived SONY is equally a quality based company and bought Z3. But it proved wrong and disappointing for me now.
    Waiting for reply from SONY.

    You messed up the settings on your phone and you say IT is a piece of crap? The phone is doing exactly what you told it to do. If that isn't what you meant see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3577

  • Can I disable "Slide to Call" from main screen?  Forced to take call on accidental swipe

    I have an iPhone 4s with iOS7 and I seriously do not like the "Slide to Call" feature from the main screen and would like to disable it.  I would still like to see notifications on the home screen.  I have accidentally swiped a call amongst other notifications and NO FUNCTION BUTTONS POP UP TO LET ME CANCEL THE CALL!.  Seriously.  A blank screen.  I make an accidental swipe and now have to talk to someone I didn't want to talk to at the time.
    Let me better describe the situation.
    The 4s phone was locked.  I had received a call and a text which were displayed on the home screen.  I attempted to swipe the text, but hit the call.  NO BUTTON, I had a blank screen and the call was going off in the 4s ear piece.  I had to take the call or look totally stupid.  I was just so angry that there was no way for me to end the call.  In the second after the connection was made, after having held it to my ear and moved it away a few times, the buttons (End, speaker, etc) finally appeared. 

    You can always press the Sleep/Wake button.
    If you have the iPhone ear-phones on, you can press the the remote button also.

  • Airport Express Total Frustration

    I'm totally frustrated.
    I've had my Airport Express for about 3 months. I used it a lot at the beginning, and everything worked fine, but I haven't used it for a while. Now that I'm back trying to use it....
    ...It can't be found by iTunes and it can't be found by Setup, but I can get to it by using "Other" in the Base Station Chooser and typing in it's IP address.
    Here's some background:
    My network is a simple wired Ethernet Setup. My computers and the Airport Express (and Tivos) are connected directly to a Linksys Etherfast router, which is connected to a cable modem. The router is serving DHCP and uses NAT. The Airport Express has wireless disabled -- I'm just trying to use it to stream iTunes to my stereo.
    All my devices are on the same subnet: 192.168.1.10X, where X runs from 1 to 5. My PC is 192.168.1.100, and the Airport is 192.168.1.103.
    I run Norton Internet Security on the PC, but disabling it doesn't seem to help. I've also plugged in my laptop (not running any firewall software) and it has the same symptoms.
    The only real change to the network has been the router. I had an older version of the same router that finally died (power supply, I think), so I replaced it. I don't think I've done anything unusual (or even interesting) in the router config that's different than before.
    I've tried messing with just about every setting on the Airport Express....
    Any thoughts? This is unbelievably frustrating!
    Thanks!

    First of all, I'm the biggest Apple supporter of all time. I have been using Apple computers since 1982, and wouldn't own any other. Having said that, the Airport technology is inferior. It has been inferior since day one, and it is inferior to this day. I have owned the original Airport Graphite, Airport Snow, Airport Extreme, and Airport Express. All were problematic. I spent hours on the phone with Apple tech support... and more hours changing settings, trading in wireless phone systems, boosting signals with multiple Airport Express units, etc... ad nauseum. In my experience, no matter what I did, Airport has always been problematic. Intermittent connections... deteriorating speeds... unreliable connections... weak signals. I switched from b to g and back again. I switched channels... on into the night. I finally hooked up the **** Westell Versalink wireless router that comes free with my Verizon account. Setting it up is a minor challenge because the interface is clunky, but after a ten minute call with Verizon tech support, it is up and running. The wireless connection speeds are double what I was getting with Airport... and the connection is rock steady reliable. I'm sure this post will be deleted by the forum Nazis any second now, but if you're lucky enough to read it before then, and you are frustrated with Airport problems... trust me, the problems will not go away (I have invested five years in trying to solve them). Get a plain old standard issue wireless router and welcome to a whole new world. The Airport technology is just plain inferior, and Apple should admit it once and for all.

  • Using Cap6, need to create menu screen that allows user to click a button, branch to other screens, and return to main menu. When returning to the main screen the button that was clicked will be grayed out or inactive.  How do I do this?  I created image

    I am trying to emulate a piece of equipment.  I need the user to be able to click on specific buttons that will take the user to another screen(s).  After viewing those screens the user will be directed back to the main screen where the user would know which buttons had been pressed and which still needed to be pressed.  I create image buttons with the 3 states - that worked except when the user returns the slide is reset and so the user does not see the 3rd state of the button.  How can I get that 3rd state to stay after user returns to the main screen? 

    Hi Elizabeth,
    Since I just did this morning what you are currently attempting to do, I thought I'd share my method.  I must provide a disclaimer and tell you that I am not an expert in Captivate advanced actions--like you, I am still figuring them out.  However, I am happy to share here anything I have learned thus far.
    First, here is what my initial slide looks like (see interaction slide below).  I created all of the icons (including the 'grayed out' icon on the second screenshot) in a few minutes using Adobe Illustrator. The icons have been imported as custom multi-state buttons so that I could have the desired effect when the user hovers over the image--the yellow 'explore' flag appears only when the mouse is over the icon. When the learner click either image, they are sent to the corresponding slide.  Once both slides are viewed, a 'continue' button will appear at the base of the screen (something I've not figured out--I sent an email to Lieve begging for some guidance). 
    The initial slide (interaction slide):
    Second, here is a depiction of what happens when the learner returns to the interactive slide from the content slide (see image below):  Once the learner visits the 'Battery Content' slide and then returns to the interaction slide, the images have changed.  The multi-state button is hidden (through the advanced action), the replacement image (the image with the completed banner over it) is shown, and a hidden click box to allow the user to return to the previously visited page (just in case they desire to do that) is "shown" to allow navigation since the button is no longer there (because it is magically hidden).
    Content Slide 1:
    Remember, there may be an easier way to do this in Captivate.  I am using Cp6 for this module.
    1. I created two user variables as follows
    Name: v_batteryExplore
    Value: 0
    Name: v_fuelExplore
    Value: 0
    2. I created an advanced action for each as shown below (showing only one--duplicate the first and change the names to match the content):
    Credit: I learned these steps from @Lilibiri and Dr. Pooja Jaisingh!
    I have also noticed that it matters where the buttons are located on the timeline.  It seems best to have buttons above all other content.  Not sure why, but I have had images not appear when I have not done this.
    And the last step you do not want to forget; you need to remember to tell Captivate to use the action.
    As a final note, remember that the elements you do not want to appear on the initial screen must not be initially visible.  Make sure to set them to invisible by removing the checkmark in the 'Visible in output' box located next to the button name.  In my case, the image of the completed battery and the invisible button to allow a revisit of content was initially hidden.  Here is a final screenshot of my timeline for this interaction.  I hope this information helps you!

  • When i start ifind i get message about load error. i click reload option and icloud main screen opens ifind shows a map that is misaligned. phone shows several blocks away. can play sound thru ifind and acess info on phone. all os upto date. any idea

    start ifind from web on my dell pc with win 7. get error on load to retry later or reload. click reload and icloud main screen comes up. I hit ifind and phone shows up on a misaligned map and is shown several blocks from actual location. tried daughters phone and map shows up inaccurate for hers also. I have 4s she has 5c all ios on phones are updated . I can get phone to sound and access data such as contacts, calendars.  the problem with bad map and message that there is a problem on starting. previously the map had no problems and location was accurate to within a short distance.

    Thank you for the sympathy and the information about the Adobe.com forum Michael.
    I posted here because, to be honest, for a company that's acknowledged their installers and updaters and support needs some work, they seem very determined to obfuscate the means by which users can provide direct feedback to the company. Much like you, I've also noticed a trend in CS5 installations that mirrors the issues that were present in CS4. it's a sad state of affairs.
    As for my installation, you are also quite right to say that a clean install would have been a lot faster than what I went through with TS and it was actually my first idea. Before calling TS I'd actually read through the forums and noticed that a large number of users who were faced with my situation had no other choice but to reformat. I was just giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt and wasted 2 and a half weeks through that course of action...
    What makes this situation even more frustrating is that the installer failed on a fresh system. It was a custom-built design machine, assembled and configured by myself. The only software that had been installed on it prior to Design Premium was Firefox, an FTP client and the start of my problems, trial versions of various CS4 programs. I used trials just long enough to retire the previous design computer so that I wouldn't contravene the EULA's stipulation of not running more than one instance of software at the same time on different machines.  Turns out being honest once again penalised a legal customer.
    If there is just thing users should learn from my far from unique tale of failed tech support it's that if you ever run into a problem with the installation, don't bother calling TS, just reformat and start from scratch.  It might seem like it'll take longer to get going again, but in actuality, it's the opposite. Reformatting means you'll be up and running in about 1 or 2 days rather than 2 weeks.

  • Main screen window grew onto 2nd monitor

    Help. I was working away and my main screen grew into 1/3 of my 2nd monitor. I've had my Imac for 2 years and never had a problem. Now I'm dead. I lowered the settings in Preferences. It made the window smaller, but the MAIN background is still larger than the screen size. Every time I open another program, it's onto the second monitor by 1/3. I've tried everything.

  • Is it an error to show up the main screen during browsing internet?

    Is it an error to show up the main screen in the midst of browsing internet with Safari as if I push the Home button?

    I think that means Safari crashed. Maybe you are

    happen at the same web page? What is the page?
    It's happening randomly. When I rebrowse the web page previously crashed, it's fine this time without problems. It's unpredictable. Version 1 has a lot of problems always. I have used iPhone one week in frustration.

  • Dust Accumulation Behind Main Screen

    This also happened to my previous N93, N95 8G, and now it is happening again to my N96. I realize that, in time, little dust particles accumulated behind my main screen. This dust is most visible under bright light such as sun or very bright room light.
    I must say I am not happy with it, but there is nothing I can do about it.
    I wish that Nokia Screens had better protection or insulation against dust.
    (Bringing the phone to Nokia Service for cleaning but taking it apart for this? No, thanks.)

    I've had that problem with my 6682 and now my E51 but my father's E62 is clear.  I always thought it was because I carry my phone in my pocket and he always used a holster or clip.  I guess there's no easy to clean it out without taking the phone appart and voiding the warranty.  I'm hoping the 5800 won't have the same issue.
     I did have a similar problem with a Motorola Razr V3xx, it collected dust between the camera lens and the glass covering embedded in the front.  After a few months, the camera was worthless because all the pictures came out to hazy to see.

    I am sorry my friend but 5800xm also suffering from that issue, too. In fact, I did surf the Internet and many other brands including very popular ones like the one that start with "i", also suffer from the same problem.
    So this "dust intrusion" problem is very common among many other brands/models.
    There are 2 things that we can do to ignore that problem: 1- Don't clean the screen often, let it stay dirty that way you won't see those dust. 2- Don't use the phone under bright sun light or room light. As long as the surrounding area is not too bright, you won't see nothing
    What sucks is that I looked at other people's phones and they did not realize that dust until I told them so. They were like "Oh yeah I never realized it, yeah there is dust"
    Why do we have eyes like an eagle? Our eyes are so good at picking up every bit of imperfecion.

  • Random flashing envelope symbol on my main screen

    hi,
    i recently became the owner of an e5 and since i powered the phone up i have had this random envelope symbol flashing on my main screen, at the bottom under the tool bar. i have no messages in my inbox and no voicemails, so am totally clueless as to what it is and how to get rid of it. any help much appreciated
    cheers muchly
    katie
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Flashing envelope could be caused by
    1. You may just have an unread SMS from your last phone that is still saved on your SIM card. To check, goto Messaging>Options>SIM messages.
    2. SIM card's message memory is full. Delete messages from the SIM card. Goto Messaging>Options>SIM messages
    3. Phones messaging memory is full. Try deleting messages, also checking in, Sent and drafts.
    4. Even though all your messages may be marked as read, just going down through the list and opening them all again one by one have also been known to resolve this issue. This could take some time but is worth a try if you do not want to delete any messages.

  • Safari quits to Main Screen

    I've noticed this only a couple of times since I bought my iPhone in September, but it happened 3 times yesterday...
    I am loading a page in Safari, and once it is loaded, I go to zoom in to a section, and the iPhone exits Safari, goes to the main menu, and the iPod icon in the top-right corner goes on as if a song is playing - but no song is actually playing. If you go to the iPod function, it doesn't show anything in the 'Now-Playing' option. In order to turn off the icon, you have to start and then stop a song, and then go back into Safari and reload the page.
    I was not listening to music before i loaded Safari, so I don't think it is related to that problem I have read about.
    Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks!

    I had the same issue with Safari and iPod quitting unexpectedly back to the Main Screen. I purchased my iPhone a week ago and started to notice this condition after about 4 days. I thought it might be the crystal protective film that I put on the screen. I removed it with no change. I tried to power the iPhone off. See the link and use the "Restart" tab. http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/troubleshooting/phone/#
    This seems to have resolved the issue for now? I had a particular website that was crashing with regularity. No issue now. Same with iPod. Could it be that simple?
    Hope this helps everyone that is having this issue.

  • Nokia 6210 Nav - upcoming appts main screen?

    Hi, I have recently been given the 6210 navigator as a replacement for my company phone.
    Still have my WM6 mobile but thought I would try the Nokia and PCsuite to use alongside my outlook contacts / emails.
    Got everything syncing ok, however, I am trying to see if you can setup the main screen to show upcoming appointments.  There is a huge blank space so it would make sense but cant find it anywhere.
    Is this possible?  On the front cover of the manual its shows a line "no calendar entries today" but not on my phone!
    Any help greatly appreciated!
    Mick.

    Well, after playing around for a while I found how to change the settings:
    settings, phone settings, general, personalisation, standby mode, standby theme.
    Default was Vodafone Idle.  Changed this to horizontal icon bar and the forthcoming events then shows up underneath.
