Oh for crying out loud
After sorting out my Windows mess up I now have a further screw up caused by that wondrous seat of all that is good and holy, Apple Inc.
Itunes suggested I update my OS for my iPod. Clicked ok then.
So it downloaded something and now my iPod doesn’t work. At all.
All it gives me is a screen which is a graphic representation of “plug into iTunes”.
I plugged into iTunes. This led to a message saying “You need iTunes 9.2 – please download.”
I did. It didn’t work.
This happened last time I updated iTunes. I got past it by uninstalling it and then reinstalling the newer version. I did this again today.
Apparently there’s a program I’ve never heard of that isn’t there and for some undecipherable reason this means that I can’t install iTunes new. This is something called “Bonjour”. I’ve never heard of it before, it seems to do nothing beyond screwing up installing iTunes, it’s sat in my program list when I try and uninstall it but won’t uninstall. It also doesn’t appear on any searches of my files despite it being sat there in the list of programs. And as it’s nowhere to be seen I can’t even manually delete the thing. Words not suitable for family newspapers are passing my lips.
So I’m left with a useless iPod telling me to plug into iTunes. And an inability to get iTunes installed.
I bloody love computers! Apple and MS have caused me no end of bloody trouble this week. Where they get off on letting us know how bloody helpful their products are and how we can’t live without them I just don’t know.
Pile of shite from both of them and a plague on both their houses.
