Hi Scott. I appologize for that whole Apple Hater comment. I said that because you were thinking of switching to Android but since you have three Apple products I take that back. Yeah, when I updated my Itunes, I didn't like a few things that it did. That whole grid view thing was stupid though

NO worries Shawn. Again, I know most software has its own flaws, and while I'm glad iTunes is reasonably accessible, I just wish I wasn't required to use it. Oh well, I'm about to load my iPhone on my new Macbook air, and from what I've read, it should be a more enjoyable experience than working

Hi Kim. I understand that it wasn't you who was saying that, I appologize for not addressing whoever that was directly. I'm glad to be on this list and hope I can offer more help than asking for it once I'm fully up and running. The mac can be frustrating at times, though I'm sure this is because

Join the club, I have a love/hate relationship with it myself, especially sense it does this wonderful thing, where it loves to play all my songs out of order some of the time when, for example, I have an album that's by various artists, and I want the album tracks played in chronological

That is because your tracks are not correctly identified as far as iTunes is concerned. Yu can fix this by doing cmd-i in iTunes on each track and changing the track number but if you have a lot of misidentified or not-identified albums like I do, that is easier said than done. I think I would

Hi all. Kim: I'll have to look into syncing iCloud with my documents, I have Pages for iOS, but not the Mac. I'm quite new to the Mac world, so I'm still trying to get on my feet from that perspective. I love how you can use braille displays to essentially control the entire computer, without ever

Scott, I hope that you realize that the Apple Hater comment was not from me nor any part of my responses to you. My intent was to understand where you were coming from with your iTunes frustrations and to provide any assistance and/or clarifications that could help you with the use of iTunes.

agreed, and thanks for bringing it up. I don't think we need to start in with the divisive Mac vs PC stuff. It only causes needless upset and stifles communication. I have no brand loyalty to Apple or Microsoft - it's all too ridiculous. I just want to get stuff done and whoever makes that

I'm not an iTunes fan. In fact, if Android ever gets their acessibility act together, it will be the biggest reason I change from an Apple portable device to an Android one. Why should I have to run a piece of bloated software to simply transfer data from my computer to my phone? Yes, there are

Hmmm, interesting prospective. To each their own I guess. I may regret commenting on this but, oh well. I, too, am perfectly capable of organizing my music and other media, but if I can automate the process through iTunes, then all the power to me. I've got enough things to do in my life

Hi Kim. I can certainly understand the DRM issues, and I know that managing your collection through the library can be easier, and with iTunes specific content it certainly is, but one should not be forced to use iTunes if they do not wish. For example, if I have a text file that I'd like to read

Hi Scott, Fair enough. I understand your frustration with those sorts of documents. Before iCloud and Google Drive, I found it problematic using iTunes to access documents on my iPhone/iPad. As a matter of interest, using iCloud, and/or Google Drive you can easily share documents between

I don't think this question was all that bad. I've lost the ability to manually sync my iPhone to iTunes 11. So, at this rate, I may have to look for an alternative as well. Also, I'm becoming more disenfranchised with the Apple Paradigm lately as well. I want more of my music library on my

I agree. I don't think it's a bad question at all. Also, many people get accessibility confused with personal choice. If my personal choice is something that is not Apple, it doesn't mean I'm a hater. It's a personal choice. I too am not very happy with iTunes. This has been the case from day
