dc20willsave Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 A fair amount of my music is from iTunes so I can't play it outside of through an Apple device without losing some quality. Added that my phone doesn't have the best memory. I could buy a bigger card but that still doesn't solve that I like having a device that separates my podcasts from my music.

Venneh Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yeah, then I'd say go for the iPod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I need Mavericks help! I used to be able to press F5, and all of my Spaces would pop up. In Mavericks, that option seems to be removed. Is it? Can I get it back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Apple, why do you keep screwing with the ipod Nano? 5th gen has a camera, 6th doesn't. 6th doesn't do video, 7th does but doesn't have a camera. And why would the voice over be on by default? I was five minutes from taking it back to the store before I figured out how to turn it off, which should be an option in the settings, but is in iTunes for some reason. This is why I hate Apple.

James D. Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 A few weeks ago, Apple told me to fix my iPhone podcast app, I'd have to reset my phone to factory defaults but reboot it with a backup. Well, because iTunes is the glitchiest program ever, the backup failed and I lost everything. I wanted to burn Apple to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I have a brand new laptop. I just found out my dvd player wasn't working. Guess what the problem was? iTunes of course. When Google has the answer it means it has happened to enough people for it to be a real problem. Now I get an error message every time I open iTunes telling me to reinstall so the offending driver will reinstall and break it again. Oh Apple......

KnightWing Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Apparently iTunes is a special kind of hell on PC, but it's by and large a dream to work with on Mac. Since I only ever buy macs anymore, all my Apple devices work well together. Are you guys working with Windows 7 or 8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 The dvd problem is an issue with Windows 8. I never had a problem with any other version. iTunes, however has always been shitty on every version. it writes drivers that conflict with lots of hardware and software. I had an iTunes problem about a month ago that caused my iPod Touch to not show up in iTunes. Since you need iTunes to do anything, it was kind of a problem.

KnightWing Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I only ever used iTunes on Windows XP (I kept XP until 2008 when I got my mac). It seemed laggy as all get-out, but stable there. I think part of the problem is that iTunes is written from the ground up for OSX, so when they translate it to Windows they have to do all kinds of crazy nonsense to it.

JackFetch Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 In my opinion, a lot of the stuff they make you use iTunes for can be done straight on the device now. The devices are basically computers now, so why would they still need to be tethered to another computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Generally speaking iOS devices are self-sustaining now; they don't need computers to set themselves up anymore. You need to use iTunes when you want to do something like a complete system restore, but that only makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 You should have the option of never using it. The nano, and I assume the shuffle though are really gimped and can't do anything without iTunes. I always used my touch with iTunes because it killed the battery to use wifi. I would have a full battery, then as soon as I turn on wifi it would go to 10% and it was a race to finish the download before it turned off.

KnightWing Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Well, the Nano and Shuffle aren't self-sufficient supercomputers; they really aren't capable of working 100% on their own. That's weird about your Touch and its wifi; that should never happen unless the hardware was damaged or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 A few weeks ago, Apple told me to fix my iPhone podcast app, I'd have to reset my phone to factory defaults but reboot it with a backup. Well, because iTunes is the glitchiest program ever, the backup failed and I lost everything. I wanted to burn Apple to the ground. My podcast app doesn't work either. I took it back to factory settings and then the backup didn't recall any of my audio, just the apps. The podcast app still doesn't work.

KnightWing Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 The Podcast app is broken for a lot of people, apparently. Mine seems to work perfectly, which I'm very grateful for, but there've been reports of it straight-up not working for a ton of people. No one seems to know why.

Stavros Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Had a look around and added Instacast 4 instead. Looks like an improvement and it actually works, although it does rather disrupt my archiving since I still use the original podcast app when I use my iPod classic or nano. Going to wind up with a lot of double copies of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Even now, I daren't upgrade iTunes on my PC to version 11. My problems are minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Since everyone is here already... I can only download podcasts thru iTunes one at a time. I do not subscribe, but rather update manually. When I try and do more than one at a time, it will either not download, or cause an error in the file. This error makes the podcast stop randomly when listening to it on my iPod Touch. It is altogether rather odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjoyadet Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I had to pay $100 for a new charger to my laptop. I was considering buying a new old one for a few dollars more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 So, fell because of construction today, and my phone screen is pretty much completely spiderweb cracked. Decided to bite the bullet and upgrade, as it's cheaper than repairing the screen, even on the plan that AT&T offers. Any suggestions for keeping it from cracking further/keeping it functional while I wait for the new one to arrive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yuck. Those are the one real major problem with Apple's design. They are weak. All of the hardware is very solidly built but Megan went through three of those in her old macbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm on my third myself, and it's barely holding together. It's no wonder they ditched it with the new MacBooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
