I spent the better part of yesterday hating Windows. HATE. With a Purple Passion. I even ended up saying bad words.
All I wanted to do was get the photos cleared from my iPhone. In order to do that all I had to do was log onto iTunes, tell it NOT to sync my photos and then sync my iPhone. Easy Peasy, right?
Nuh-uh.
First off I tried it on my office PC since it was, you know, right there and on and all. I hate using my business PC because iTunes really, Really, REALLY does not play nice with the new Windows 7. AT ALL. However, since I wasn't working and therefore didn't have to worry about iTunes locking up my computer while I was talking with a customer I decided to go ahead and try it.
First off I downloaded the newest version of iTunes. Once that was done I figured it would take a few minutes to sync and I could uninstall iTunes again and be on my merry way with my plans of doing not much else other than relaxing and running to the store to get a few things... for those Cappuccino Cookies!
Well, let's just say THAT didn't work out.
So I tried my old laptop because it is still running Windows XP. Well, it worked just slightly better. And I mean the tiniest bit, slightly better. iTunes was using ALL of the resources and running SLOW as molasses, but still running.
Then just for extra fun Microsoft Office kept trying to install updates, further draining resources and... oh, I won't bore you with all the details but I ended up restoring my iPhone to the factory settings and syncing my contacts with MobileMe. Which I LOVE by the way!
And Apple, don't think I'm just mad at Windows! Why can't I just batch delete the photos right from my iPhone? I mean really. How dumb is that? Yeah. That's right, Apple. I said DUMB!
So today I have to pick up those things I was going to get yesterday and then I'm going to do something I haven't done for ages. Absolutely Nothing! I'm going to plop down on one of Al & Barbara's recliners in front of the TV and eat their pizza and watch the race. I hope your day is lovely. Big Hugs ♥xo
6 friends stopped by:

I get v.e.r.y frustrated when technology either doesn't work at all, or won't work like it should! Where's that UNLIKE button?!!!
Enjoy your much-earned lazy day. We'll be watching that race, too!
Big hugs...
You said bad words?? eeek! ;-)
I hate when things don't work out when I'm attempting to use technology.
I have a Mac mini and love it.
Have fun relaxing! We are off to our town's Memorial Day Parade.
P.S. Bertucci's is where I had that Cosmopolitan I wrote about. Can't wait to have another.
I hate it when technology does not work! Enjoy your rest!
Just give in and get a mac :)
I'm sorry you had so much trouble. My new laptop has Windows 7, but I haven't noticed any trouble with iTunes. In fact, this is the least amount of trouble I've ever experienced with a computer.
