Please disregard my snark if you were sarcastic. If not, embrace the snark.]]>Sep 8th 2007 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/When I tried to install it on my previous computer, it decided that the version of Quicktime I had wasn't current (which it actually was), then set about uninstalling it so that it could reinstall it with iTunes.
It 'uninstalled' Quicktime then refused to install it again because I still, apparently, had an old version of Quicktime installed. It turns out that it had screwed up uninstalling the copy I already had.

So, I went to Apple's website and, basically, it told me to speak to Microsoft.
In the end, I had to manually edit my registry before I could get Quicktime and iTunes to intstall.

So, yes, Apple's software isn't perfect.
And for once, please, can you sad little fanboys just shut up?]]>Sep 8th 2007 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/Sep 8th 2007 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/
But I've never had any major problems with iTunes on my Mac. I've had more on the Windows side of things. It could be apple it could be MS. WHo knows.

Why does is have to be about Apple vs MS. I don't care for MS. I don't like Windows but it has some things the Mac doesn't.

And yes I've managed to crash apps on my Mac tones of times, because I do unsupported things- just look at my crash logs.]]>Sep 8th 2007 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/But Apple isn't perfect either.
I have iTunes crash a few times on Dell machine and my own built system.

On the other hand I have G5 as my work station in the office. That machine is buggy as h*ll. My co-worker uses her new MacBook Pro with so many issues that keep slowing down my work (because she keeps asking for an assistant).

My first 4th generation iPod had an issue with the scroll wheel and after a few weeks of use, the screen burns until it was stollen. The second 4th generation iPod has battery problem and I sold it for cowon A2.

I replaced my iphone because the battery didn't charge and eventually died.

HOWEVER..

I hate PC with all my heart, but I have to stick with it (maybe forever). Blue screen of death a few times since Vista came out. First built the system on the QuadCore based, blazing as h*ll. Then adding anti virus, firewall apps, messenger etc, the speed demon has become an average joe.

Then I tried installing linux, and realized it was a complicated process if your hardwares aren't compatible.

So, I totally agree, nothing is perfect.
Apple, PC and even linux aren't perfect, they all have disadvantages and advantages.

I just realized how off topic this post is, but nonetheless.. fanboyism must be stopped

Best,

PS3 Lover ]]>Sep 8th 2007 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/

Sure, they're really reliable, compatible with a lot and cheap! ... oh wait...

Might wanna add, you know those wonderful Geforce 7300 GTs that go into your HIGH END MACHINES? They're $50 graphics cards... and Apple sells them for $150!

Hahahahah XD]]>Sep 8th 2007 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/

Reliability is in the name! Right...

On a Mac, when there's a problem, it isn't a problem, it's a 'feature' of the OS, when there's a problem on a PC, you fix it and move on with life. Enjoy your crippled, expensive OS... OS X will be dual-booting to Windows soon enough, none of this stupid Boot Camp crap.]]>Sep 8th 2007 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/Sep 8th 2007 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/

If a company claims their product is better than others, then shouldn't they deliver? You sit there and say Macs are crashproof and then low-rank me because I show contrary evidence? Hah! Funny shit, really.

Being a Mac fanboy must have the system requirements of an IQ lower than the users age.

Oh and I don't like Windows OR Linux, but Mac just _sucks_.]]>Sep 8th 2007 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/Sep 8th 2007 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/
It's just hilarious when you can't back up the fact that your OS somehow is better than any other out there. Why the hell DOES Mac do it for you? Just because you had a bad experience with any other OS doesn't make Mac any better. When Macs crash, it's usually impossible to fix them on your own, not to mention impossible to trace the source. There's no dynamic way to really control processes, except that unusable interrupt key, which doesn't work.

Not to mention a fact that Apple parades around like it's the holy grail.. Macs don't have viruses.. why? Because no one codes malware for 1% of the market! No one codes software for 1% of the market! Why do you think that about three or four handfuls of software exist for the Mac and truckloads exist for Windows? Because Windows owns the marketshare. Mac can dual boot.. sure, but are you going to even consider running Crysis? No, because the Macintosh Pro tower only comes with either Geforce 7300GTs (which can't run DX10 for one thing and couldn't render worth crap.) or Quadros, not even meant for gaming, but to render 3D animation and the like.

Besides, Boot Camp isn't even supported by Apple's support, so if you manage to screw up your system doing it, good luck getting it repaired, it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg.]]>Sep 8th 2007 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/
nothign you said parted the seas or opened anyones mind.

wow really? no os is perfect? I had no idea... thanks for that mind blowing insight.

Oh wait... you just said don't bash something by a single Mac experience.. why should you support something by a single Mac experience...

Makes a lot of sense, right?

I also personally hate iTunes because there are so many other programs out there that do what iTunes does and do it better than iTunes. That's just my opinion though.]]>Sep 8th 2007 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/
You idiot. Go to osx.iusethis.com or versiontracker or any one of a dozen sites and then say that "there's no mac software." There's plenty of good Mac-only software. There's very little you can do on Windows that you can't do on a Mac. How many shitty variations on a theme do you need?]]>Sep 8th 2007 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/

Apple isn't going after the iPhone hackers with more than half-ass zeal anyway... At least it's certainly half-assed for Apple: you know how they can get when they unleash the legal teams and SMS "Sick 'Em!" in a blackberry group page.

Lol.. at this rate we're going to see iTunes 7.4.50 before 7.5 comes out ("ringtones are now free!")]]>Sep 9th 2007 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/Sep 8th 2007 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/
Quicktime still wants money for simple operations like saving files that have already been downloaded from the Internet. (If you are viewing it via the plugin -- even though you could easily download the file a hundred other ways).
It also wants money to view a video in full screen, as I'm sure many have seen. (Which is a real pain in the ass if it takes over all the file type associations -- and can again be worked around by resizing the window, rendering the crippling useless).

I did switch from Quicktime (actually, I got as far away as possible; I moved to Linux). However, because I do not use the official Quicktime player (but rather the not crippled Totem plugin), I am blocked from watching Apple's advertising on their web site. In other words, I, "a potential switcher", am not allowed to drink the kool-aid because I have not switched to Apple. And yes, I do know that it works; the video plays for a moment before the Javascript kicks in and boots me out.

They also charge $20 for anyone who wants to use Mpeg-1 and Mpeg-2 files in Quicktime. This is, again, a pain in the ass, because Quicktime is quite integrated and commonly used in MacOS; you still need to pay up so an Mpeg1 -> Mpeg4 converter can read the file.


In conclusion, don't worry. Apple is way ahead of you on this one!
They are /already/ charging large fees for trivial features (or, rather, for unlocking unnecessarily locked features), and have been doing so for a long time. It has had little impact so far, so we can assume that Appleified people will continue to not care.]]>Sep 8th 2007 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/08/itunes-7-4-1-ringtones-re-rename-workaround-discovered/Sep 8th 2007 4:59PM
