More Breakfast, now if it actually cooked breakfast I could see having this app, I tried a while back to get Siri to do that but she just listed restaurants near me, LOL. I generally do not do silly things with Seri but was having such a horrible morning I needed a laugh. -Original

Trust me I feel your pain. One time I get smashing results the next time nothing at all. I assume practice is the keyword here but sometimes I don't have 20 minutes to an hour to practice on the same thing, I need to know now so I can get on to whatever I need to do next. Everything we are

No, manuals for iTunes itself seem to be lacking, always have, the best I saw was when I first bought the iPod book from NBP in 2010 but that discussed version 8 or 9, not sure which now, and the book was mostly for the iPod nano and one other, not the touch. I think Apple thinks iTunes is

Now that is ashamed, you should if you wish ask a questions, iTunes is a problem in many ways, depending on what you want to do with it and you should feel free to ask. That said, I am not the iTunes expert but it does what I want from it at this particular moment. -Original Message-
