Wow, I just want to say that the Zen "PlaysForCrap" software suite is complete garbage

The Zen itself... I love it. But the software that came with the PlaysForSure firmware update is complete and total garbage. I have nothing but problems trying to rip my CD's to the player and my hard dri've. The software constantly freezes, it won't find CD's information. It locks up the player in docked mode and then I have to reset and wait while it "rebuilds the library." And forget about drag and drop file transfer functionallity. It does not creat the folder I dropped on the the Zen. I have no idea where my files are. Where's the file format converter? Where's the analyze music function? Don't tell me its in the Media Source software cause my Media Source won't recognize my player even with the plug-in.
The fact that you would release this software package to people who dropped two or three hundered bucks on a player is disgraceful and Creative should be ashamed. I sincerely hope you guys are going to update this software to something better than the turd it is now sometime in the near future.
Why something that's designed to be WINDOWS BASED works so poorly opposed to an APPLE PRODUCT is beyond me.

For the record, I've been using Yahoo Music Engine (PlaysForSure software) and Creative Zen players since September, 2005, with great success. I rip my own CDs, have purchased downloads, and have over 000 subscription tracks transfered to my players. I have over 20 playlists I update. Some almost daily.
The Creative Zen Micro we had in September 2005 was stolen in November 2005. Replaced it with a Zen Microphoto. I just picked up a Zen Vision: M several weeks ago.
All of them work.
Here's the things I would recommend:
Go to the Creative Support site and download all of the other support software. Don't just download the firmware. The supporting software may have updates too. I had to do this with the Zen Micro because PlaysForSure was a firmware update I had to apply for myself back then.
Download the Windows Media Player 0http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...0/default.aspx
Try Yahoo Music Enginehttp://music.yahoo.com/musicengine/
Both are free. The subscription music services cost extra.

Waiting for Tidbits and Elector to grace my post with there constant negativity and start a war of words as usual... since they love stirring the pot and angering the Windows Phone Community every time they reply to posts. I just can't believe they spend that much time here on the forums replying if they are not a paid Verizon employee or a paid basher from a competing platform.

Well I found nothing wrong in your post. So why even make a statement like the quote I included?
Once more I am a retired government employee. So I have the time to post. Or has my rights been taken away to voice an opinion?
Your posts was great you were not whining about your rights to file complaints to the FCC or FTC etc. One of the best I have read.
And I am not trying to sway you from your phone choice. If you looked at my avitar it shows apple iphones. But I use and have used androids and not Windows phones.
However your numbers of windows phone users all leaving over the issue is miniscule in the number of users of Android and iOS devices.
I have written many times I wish all the devices get updated like iOS devices do. But at present that is not happening
No bashing, no adversarial post just a little common sense is all I use.
And again your post was great.
Good Luck

Itunes says that the version of software on my ipod touch 3rd gen is up to date, but IOS 5 is avaliable. I have checked for software updates for days but it keeps saying that 4.2.1 is the current version. Why cant i get IOS 5?

because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled.

TS4036 When I back up my iPad, it says that the last backup could not be completed. I repeat the backup process several times but still receive the same message. What should I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The following article(s) may help you.
Troubleshooting iCloud Back Up

May I just begin by saying that the security questions are ridiculous. Is there an ITunes support person I can email?

Is there anyone I can email for help one on one?

We are just Apple users here, but I strongly disagree with your contention that the security questions are ridiculous. It makes perfect sense to have a question like "What color was your first car?" or "What was your maternal grandmother's first name?" These are questions that you would know the answer to but I would not.
This article should assist you:

Just wanted to say that having completed my upgrade to ios4

Touch wood and everything seems to be working fine. Had to re pair my bluetooth devices and resync photos, but everything else seems as was before update. Even the battery life seems the same.
But why on earth didnt Apple include the ability to add/change message tones. The few they give us are soooo outdated. No wonder people jb their devices if the phone cant even do some of the basics.

Thank you!

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

HT1947 Just want to say I have an iPhone 4s and only in this app, if I move the phone toward my face like I'm going to talk on the phone, Siri pops up. No idea what that's about. Other than that this all is absolutely splendid.

Sorry it has taken so long for someone to reply to you. What you want to do is go to Settings > General > Siri > Raise to Speak OFF.

I was quite surprised by that. And I've been off for a little because I've been giving final exams at the college where I work. Now with break I will be spending a little more time on here until I have to start getting ready for the Spring semester. I have experienced a couple of interesting posters in the past week though. I wa afraid one was going to reach through the CAT 5 and grab me around the neck.

We just downloaded the Creative Suite 6 onto our computer, but it says that the serial number is incorrect. Do we use our serial number from CS5.5 because that didn't work?

Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.

If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked. I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed. eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money. I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

Hello I want to say that apple iphone 5 even has problems with battery consumption. Charge my phone in the morning and sometimes I do not get to the full day. If they could fix this problem I would appreciate. I hope answers.

Hello!
I recently just downloaded the 'Waze' app as a backup for my Garmin. I've read a few reviews that seem to rant and rave about how good the GPS app is. It is community driven and maps are constantly being updated by users. Plus it has a few other fun stuff in it (something similar to Gasbuddy where you can owe prices on the map). But like the person above me said, there is lots of useful free GPS apps in the App Store.
Oh and I may be wrong but I remember reading an article about Google being slower about updating its maps system--ie no turn by turn voice, which many people have had complaints about.
Happy Searching!
Ps - if you switch I wouldn't go to Blackberry.

I want to install apps in my iphone, but it says that the terms and conditions have changed, what I have to do?

I want to install apps in my iphone, but it says that the terms and conditions have changed, what I have to do?

Folks, Kit73 on another thread said to do the following:
"While not a very direct solution, I was able to finally accept the terms in a way that seem to register with apple by making a purchase through iTunes on my computer. This forced me through updating my payment information and updating my iTunes software to the latest edition (which I had not yet taken the time to do). After doing both of these, iTunes took me through the terms & conditions on two separate pages, but ultimately allowed me to purchase my song. Once I completed these steps, it fixed the problem on my phone, so now I can update my apps and download new ones without running into that loop."
I just did this and have since been able to update apps etc on my iPhone and iPad.
