    I am usually a worshiper at the Church of Apple but I am having a crisis of faith.


    I have a Mac, an IPhone and use ITunes .... You would think that would using all three would be a piece of cake but no. Putting music on my IPhone has been such a drama that I am seriously thinking of ditching my iPhone ......

    Unlike windows computers Mac have limited capacity and when you reach it you're stuffed because you can't add any extra. My iTunes is massive so have had to put it onto an external hard drive. The music is on iTunes ok but try and get it onto my phone and it's its all corrupting X-( ( and not just my Gary Barlow Thunderpussy :v )

    I'm hoping this is just yet another glitch with all the updates lately but seriously .... I'm not happy

    Never had any of this when I had my old windows computer and a Blackberry.

    I hate progress :))


    ( for the record, when I say 'I've' done theses things I actually mean my hubby. I'm pathetic with tech ;% )

    :)) My daughter has an iPod and was telling me many people are complaining
    That apple's new operating system takes up so much space on phones that people
    Are having to delete massive amounts of photos/music. :#
    Someone jokes that Apple give you a free U2 album, them make you delete it to
    Upgrade to their new OP. :)) on the subject of U2, they stopped being " Rock n Roll"
    Many years ago and exist today as Corporate moneymaking/sellout whores ! :)) NO
    Credibility left, :D if you have the money for them they'll sell any old sh*t , Anything.
    They we have to listen to Bono, going on about the starving poor people, and how much
    It hurts him to see it. Here's an idea Mr Multi billionaire, corporate shill and very expensive
    Hotel owner. Why not send a bit of your billions over to them, rather than expecting people
    On minimum wage, not only to buy your middle aged pop music but also send what's
    Left to sort out the problems of the world. X-(
    You see I don't just hate Gary Barlow. :))

    On Bono we can definitely agree. What an irritating ****** ! :))


    The space thing is ridiculous. At least with a windows PC you can add memory quite easily but with Apple there is no where to go when you reach capacity. I went for a Mac as it was supposed to be good with viruses and faster but that no longer seems to be the case.

    Apart from iTunes I really don't have a lot on my Mac. My daughter however studies photography and has gazillions of photos and programmes and she's just had to remove a whole load of stuff ...

    This is the second time of posting this reply as,I kid you not, my iPad crashed as I was posting ...

    Lady Rose, which Mac are you exactly having.

    On the older Macbook Pros you can easily replace HDDs, the recent Macbook Airs and Retinas are troublesome, some iMacs as well.

    As a rule of thumb, I am saving all Video files on external hard drives - they just use so much space.
    If you save them in itunes, it's not surprising that your HDD is full.

    My hatred of Bono and his hypocrisy is only matched by yours, TP! I call him Boneo just to discredit him in fact. :))

    Cant stand Bono, asks everyone to help but he wont reach into his own Pockets and donate.

    Yes, I think that is the problem so many people have with Lord Bono. That and how he flies around the world in a first class jet to big gigs that take lorry loads of structural metal and much diesel to get there and then has the cheek to go on about climate change! Bono is a hypocrite in more ways than one!

    He once paid for a first class ticket, to fly his " lucky" hat over to a concert in Italy.
    Can't think how much food for a village this one act could've paid for. :#

    All the iTunes is now on an external hard drive and I get the tunes through AirPort Extreme ( :s apparently)

    The issue seems to be when I try to put new tunes on my iPhone .... That's when it all goes horribly wrong ...

    Anyway, it's keeping my hubby occupied sorting it out :))

    As for Geldof, agree about him too ...
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    When you compare the self-righteous preaching from Bono and co, then
    Compare that with the action of ordinary people, trying their best to help
    With little or no publicity, they never get to meet world leaders etc.
    People like that poor, poor man Alan Hemming, who went to help end peoples
    Suffering and is now being held hostage by the killers of Islamic State. :#
    I only hope the amount of British and world Islamic leaders can put enough
    Pressure or persuasion on them to release him.

    @ Lady Rose
    I have the same computer and similar problems.

    You can extend the memory for quite some $$ here:

    I'm truly sorry to hear that. He doesn't sound the sympathetic sort. Have you collectively spoken to. The Citizens Advice bureau?

    Yes, we studied Contemporary Issues in Property Law, Land Law and Equity (the Law of Trusts) as separate modules between 2007-2009 as part of a Masters in Law. All very complex stuff, especially Land Law.
