Never buying Apple anything again

[melensdad]

That is the Pot calling the Kettle Black...

Explain where I am hypocritical in my purchasing decisions.

I switched from Costco to Sams because of the Costco no-gun policy. I don't eat at BW3 because of their no gun policy.

There are some industries where all the players are anti-gun, some more so than others. HP directly donates to anti-gun groups so I don't support them with my purchases but I don't know of a computer company that is not at least sympathetic toward the anti-gun cause.

You're going to see a lot more of this sort of frustration with the cloud crap. Storing everything off site rather than in your device is a backdoor way of regulating and forcing you to buy only from apple and not be able to sell or give away your property when you part with a device.

Doesn't Microsoft Zune do the same?

The cloud opened up a whole new world for bloatware....

For equal time to droid on the ringtone thing, it's very easy on an android phone to make them right there on your phone from any music you have...

 

[ViperJock]

I bought the phone. I bought the music. I bought the app that lets me use my music to make ringtones from iTunes. Why is it that I shouldn't expect it to work? Well it does now after that extremely easy fix which the apple people refused to tell me about.

Why make a personalized ring tone? Why customize you weapon? It's fun, it works better? A stock rifle and scope work but don't you like your modifications?

I just downloaded the free app....ringtone maker. Picked the song and the timeframe. Hit save. Plugged my phone into computer. Clicked the app heading and then highlighted the ringtone. I then had to drag it to my desk top and then to my Itunes folder. Then went to ringtone heading and sync'd to phone. Bingo bango its there.

HTC EVO-song is on SD card, download Ringdroid app from the market, run app, new ringtone!

Samsung Galaxy S2... Enough said!

 

[RoyalTenenbaum]

+1 Noland and repped. It worked. Amazingingly simple fix. I can't understand how the apple techs wouldn't know about this. OR they just didn't want to tell me. At any rate TYVM. Now when my wife calls I have the BeeGees groovin on More than a Woman again.

Still not gonna buy an apple again. grrr.

They can't tell you about things like that.

I am confused...you have one bad experiece with the apple product and people and you are going to bash them by telling everyone? If we all had a bad experience with an electronic device we would boycott every company out there. Your error with the upgrade has probably effected minimal owners. Things happen, chaulk it up to **** happens? If you want a custom ringtone figure out how to modify it "jail Break it" or get an app that does it.

Apply a liitle grace....seems like an awful small issue.

Just sayin....

I bought two iPhones over the weekend to make up for it.

Thank you for doing your part!

Thank you for doing your part!

To be fair, I also bought a Samsung Galaxy 2S. That's the problem with having a family. I can't do anything in singles, it's all done in threes. Amusement park? No $4 soda for me. If I'm thirsty, it's $15. Hungry? $47. Need a phone? It's not $100, it's $500.

Apple is trying to teach you a lesson to go Android
