What annoyed you today?

Don, I think you meant to say 'if you are using it with Windows then stop that right now' iTunes for Windows is the worst application ever written in the history of computing. A friend, who thought no doubt that they were being kind, bought my daughter an iPod. It took me 4 hours to get one album on it, and then only after using 3rd party software.

Needless to say daughter went back to using her Sandisk mp3 player without further delay. Rip CD, drag, drop. Simple.

Howard I agree itunes, period is the worst software out there, unfortunately only itunes can restore an ipod, unless you want to go Linux on it. My Media Monkey program on my win7 machine did recognize the ipod, but only for brief seconds and only intermittently, and unfortunately Media Monkey has no way to restore, just add music.

I've been using iTunes on Windows for years - no problem at all. RIP, drag, drop simple - just as you say!

I too have been using itunes for years on both Mac and PC, yes it will do exactly what you say, but though I'm quite comfortable with it now, it's not
user friendly nor is it intuitive and I absolutely hate the way it sprinkles my mp3's all over the drive.

I wish you all the best with it - it's awful when something you use every day decides to stop playing nicely.

I'm way behind with music players, I've got a 7 year old 40gb Creative that's about the size of a packet of cigarettes and heavy with it. It actually has a disk drive in it. But it sounds OK.

Musn't let death and misery get in the way of maintaining profits.

Let's send a few Cruise and Tomahawk missiles in and add to the already horrendous slaughter.

Our governments have clearly decided that they are on the side of Al Qaeda now . . oh wait a minute . .

Cameron must have his Falklands/Iraq moment.

Better to send in Tom Cruise

What's annoying is the damn think worked before I ordered a new battery and clickwheel. I was only trying to put in the CF card as I read of others doing it successfully. Now the frugal Scot in me won't give up the loss and I grew up in Canada far from my native land.

Annoyed and frightened me both. Many years ago I created a twitter account. I associated it to a throwaway email account so I wouldn't be bothered with junk mail. I used a pseudonym that I never used anywhere else and never associated to my real name or usual email address. I haven't used the account in a couple of years but logged onto it today to query something trending here in my home town. What has frightened and annoyed me is that they have linked me to two very real people who I do know. People are screaming about the govt watching us, I have maintained for a long time that Big Brother isn't the govt. it's private enterprise like Twitter, Facebook, Google etc. Even if you try to keep your footprint small and your private life private.

I joined Linkedin a couple of years ago, like you giving almost nothing of my real identity away. I only stayed a few weeks, then carefully deleted all my data, unsubscribed and deleted my account. Just recently I've started getting a lot of emails from Linkedin along the lines of "Click to confirm you know this person". I've tried ignoring them - they keep sending reminders. I've tried clicking the "click here to stop these emails" button - they still keep coming. I tried getting back in to my Linkedin account. I can't - it doesn't exist!

I had that, you have to login to your account to switch the e-mails off but of course your account no longer exists. I contact there support dept who sorted it out for me although if you do decide as I did to give linked in another go you will have trouble re-creating your account and have to contact support again.

Oh and you may get an irritating e-mail such as "Thank you for reaching out to me!"

I get those too and I've never had a Linkedin account. It claims they're from people who I guess have me in their contacts. What's bothersome for me is the fact that Twitter has taken it upon themselves to strip the data from my contacts list without permission and then linked them to an account I'd set up to be annonymous.

That is most likely the case.  On LinkedIn a user can import their contacts directly from several mail systems so that would give them your email address.

Getting marginally annoyed by an Amazon seller. I ordered something which never showed up. I contacted them and they eventually decided it must have got lost in the post and refunded me. air enough, but why not just send me another - they're claiming to have them in stock and i still want it...
