Why is iTunes so difficult to use? It is time consuming and not at all intuitive. I will me complaining as much as possible until this is fixed. We should be able to drag songs to a playlist...surely technology has come this far has it not??
So discourraged with iTunes that I'm debating getting myself and my kids different phones... shouldn't be this difficult... I end up with my sons music and he with mine... both of us are disgusted...had enough.
Until 3 months ago (when I bought a $10 no-contract phone for emergency use only) if somebody lent me their cellphone to make a call I had no idea how to do so. I would get them to dial a number, talk, then I would hand it back to them to hang up. Even now if my wife gives me her iPhone to make a call I have to ask her to do it because I have no devices of any kind that have touchscreens. The timer went off the other day when she was out of the house and I somehow managed to get the thing quiet.
In comparison I have answered several thousand questions about many computer systems and applications on the ASC forums. It's all a matter of familiarity and need.

I have a user that started working on a premiere pro project 2 weeks ago. She then received an update from adobe which she ran and the next day the premiere pro project she was working on was gone. After I looked at found that the save location was in the users AppData\Adobe\Premiere\6.0 folder (which was empty). I would first like to know why by default did it store the saves in the AppData folder? Why was the folder over written after the update?

I can no longer drag songs into my playlists.
I can no longer drag songs into my playlists. I drag them over and nothing happens.
I have restarted several times and I still can't drag and drop. My only option is to control click and then it gives me a drop down menu of options including putting into a playlist. I think this alternative *****! Drag and drop was a whole lot easier

Why does iTunes invite me to log on every time I launch it?
Why does iTunes invite me to log on every time I launch it? It never used to do this. How can I stop it ? When I open the app I usually want to just listen to the music collection I have in it, not download anything or buy from the store.
How can I stop this default ?I have checked and it isn't.
This never used to happen, but I suspect something changed at the last iTunes update. -
I recently aquired a new iphone 4s because my old one broke. I backed it up on my itunes but now it wont give me the option of using the phone, it just says connect to itunes. I have synced it several times now and dont know what to do, please help me!!
I recently created a new apple ID
Bad idea.
Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content. -
Why does iTunes freeze up for minutes at a time when modifying INFO (CMD-i) ? My files are not corrupted after it is done like many other threads i have readed. Sometimes it's changing the title of a movie or editing the season and episode number of a TV show ect.....
Yup same here
I am running the latest iTunes, the latest updates to the OS and on an iMac 3.4GHz Quad core i7 with 8GB of RAM and the music stored on local HDD.
Still locks up iTunes for between 2 minutes up to 20 minutes.
Really annoying.
If you find a fix please, please let me know, I have just been throwing hardware at it with no joy at all -
Every time I use my I pad it keeps popping up with enter my iTunes password. I have nothing waiting to download and not trying to purchase anything yet every time I want to listen to music or use my apps this happens. Can anyone tell me how to stop this?

When you reloaded your software did you do a clean reload (deleting all data)? http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT
If so, you might try doing a resettofactory using the following instructions. http://bit.ly/fMW9I4 This will reset to factory default.

Why do some of my apps only work ón my iphone and not ón my iPad ?
Why do some of my apps only work ón my iphone and not ón my iPad ?
That should work on the iPad. Basic app troubleshooting from Apples support site. Items 1, 2 & 3 should not apply to your situation, but I posted the link at the end if you want to read them.
4. Restart the application
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
Tap the red minus to quit the app.
Press the Home button, then restart the app.
5. Restart your device
Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
6. Reinstall the affected application
Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the application and then download it again.
Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
7. If the issue is still unresolved
If you continue to experience the issue, contact the developer of the application for further assistance.

I did the recent update on my ipad 7.0.4 and now it keeps freezing up and can not use it. Tried reboot and works for a second then freezes right up again. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix?
Madmonkey,
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Gaylefromnewhope,
Seems like you tried this all ready and it didn't help.
Next might be to reset all settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
Note that when you do this you will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
If that doesn't help you might tries a restore of your iPad using iTunes on the computer you normall sync with. Do a backup and save all data first. Or
Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
