    Ive been having a shit ton of problems with my apple id.

    Apparently our old usernames dont work anymore. So I changed it to my email and it works fine on apple site, went and changed it in the settings on my phone, but when I go into the app store and go to update my apps it insists on user my old user name and will not change it to my email address, so Im no longer able to update any apps on my phone.

    Very close to switching to a Galaxy.

    I have 37 apps that need to be updates that I cant update because of this apple id bullshit. How is it possible that I change my id in setting / store to my email address which is what it needs to be to work, but when I go in the store to update my apps it still uses my older username? Amazing, 1 guy dies and everything turns to total shit in almost no time at all.

    Just fucking ask Apple if this is really so hard for you to figure out.

    you seem pretty upset for just a screen name issue, that I'm sure can be solved with a phone call. While I seriously doubt a customer service problem is enough to make you switch to PC, let me tell you..

    If you haven't been a PC user for a while, you are in for a treat, specially on the customer service dep. Make sure what whatever you buy from now on is from Costco, and buy the warranty or you will know what customer service hell is for real.

    I just had a problem w my girl's PC and let me tell you, I thought Mac had bad customer service... WOW.

    They erased her hardrive without backing anything up, and they still charged us full price, I went trough 3 weeks of calling supervisors on the phone, NO ONE GIVES A SHIT

    I dare you.

    • I never had to call anyone over any PC issues in my entire life.CygnusZero4
    • But with apple I have to talk to someone to get some simple shit to work right. Fuck them.CygnusZero4
    • Of course, because PCs never break. Windows is pure rock solid dependable perfection.monospaced
    • and just wait for the new Metro, developers worldwide love how stable it is alreadyMiguex
    • I love how an iOS / Apple ID issue becomes a PC vs Mac computer debate. Typical.ETM

    I really want to switch to a Galaxy but I have to find out what the deal is with sprint. Cant I just walk in there, hand them this piece of shit iphone 4s and get a Galaxy without spending a fortune for it? Ill go to the sprint store tomorrow.

    • Sprint is getting bought by some leveraged buyout guys. So it'll be completely fucked soon.boobs
    • yes you can, ask them if you are elegible for an 'upgrade' if not, unlock your iphone and sell if for 3 times the amount of a new galaxy on ebayMiguex
    • galaxy on ebay/ craigslist, it would feel like you are getting paid to switch and you should have extra $$ in your pocketMiguex
    • galaxy is same price as iphone so dnt expect to make much money!fadein11

    This is a good decision, CygnusZero4, and one that I'm sure will serve you in the future. You have become aware of Apple's insults against mankind and their deceiving ways, their evil tactics and their now deceased cult leader. You drank the Kool-Aid, but it's not too late to leave the the Apple shit behind like a bad memory. You will join the ranks of PC users who know better, and you'll be better off for it. Fuck Apple and their shit iPhones and shit iPads, their shit mouse and their shit software, including the shit iOS. It's all garbage. Peace out. Congratulations, this was the last straw and you made the right move.

    • The Galaxy isnt a PCebertzjaw
    • But good points well made etc.ebertzjaw
    • He's complaining about his iPhone, his Mac and the mouse. Also said PCs are better. I'm only agreeing.monospaced

    Cygnus is one angry dude, he has been raging for ten years about something adobe have failed him on!!!!.. which we all sorted in about five minutes but he still rages on and on and on.... WHOLLY SHIT!!!! cygnus is THE SOURCE of unlimited power. We can make a battery out of him and power the globe forever. We should strop him and bugger him first though, just to make sure of a few technical things I'd like to clear up before we plug him in.

    • monospaced + cygnus = nuclear fusionfadein11
    • AMAZING!!!! if they were to meet in real life it would punch a hole in space and time.chossy
    • why, because we both hate Apple with an irrational vengence?monospaced

    Cygnus: nothing has changed, you are clinically incompetent. As for mono, he lost the plot decades ago.

    Hint: you are probably not using the userid you got the apps with, use the correct userid and it'll just happen. On a Mac, the little badge shows you how many apps can be updated on your phone, the "check for updates" screen shows you how many can be downloaded with the current userid, if it doesn't show any then you need to log in with the userid the apps were acquired with. Same thing on the phone itself. I'll agree iTunes could give you a better hint.

    I hate Apple for their prison-like approach to user dependency. I ahve used Apple my entire life. In July I got a job for a company that only uses PCs and I thought 'Great. Finally I can escape from the Apple paradigm and get to grips with PCs'.

    I tell you what CygnusZeroTolerance... if you are pissed about this little glitch, you will have a pulmonary embolism within a week of trying to do anything in a sensible efficient way on a PC. These things are SO INSANELY COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE that it blows my mind. Nothing is ever anchored in one place, in any app. One minute the button that allows for resizing (yes, you have to have a button for that) is on the far right of the menu bar in a blue lozenge, then next time its a red hyperlink in a dropdown menu somewhere else.

    It is ABSOLUTELY MIND-MELTING the way these things go about their business.

    Also, in 20 years of Apple use I never once had a virus. Within three weeks on a PC my laptop was off to the IT department to be cleansed of all its disabling diseases.

    I am glad I'm now independent of Apple, and I have never got into their off-site services anyway, but don't think for one minute you will be walking away from trouble, you wont be, you'll be walking away from a minor glitch into a blizzard of mayhem.

    What I just don't understand is why Microsoft haven't been smart and copied the Apple user architecture. Its eesm to me there's an example of an incredibly easy user system in the world and yet they simply refuse to learn from it.

    • please for the love of god don't turn this into a pc vs mac thread.inteliboy
    • Too late.
      Sorry.
      Horp

    I really like my iPhone5

    I have a mac laptop and a PC.

    I now only buy PC products, I find using a PC easy. However the PC is incredibly mealy mouthed when it comes to settings and wanting to change things, the PC is complex to an annoying level and it's user interface in windows 7 is fucking disgusting.

    However at a third of the price of a mac it is perfectly fine. Once I am using a program there is absolutely no difference whatsoever.

    I also hook the pc and mac up together on a wee render farm with no problems. Also transfer files between them through a network no problems.

    • I've always wanted to get away and raise wee renders on a farm.ETM
