iTrouble!!

So, I have been extremely frustrated with my iTunes, iPhone, and other iRelated things. First, when I opened iTunes, it told me there was an update so I tried to update. Result? error. No big deal, maybe next time I thought. Next time, update. Result? error again! Frustration level: 3.

Next time I open iTunes, it doesn't even tell me it needs an update. Hmmmm, did my iTunes magically update on its own while I was sleeping? Maybe I have elves......... Frustration level 2.

Plug in iPhone, little screen pops up asking what I would like to do with my pictures (I download them) and begins charging. 5 minutes later, I wonder, why didn't my iTunes automatically open? Curious. Open iTunes, not seeing my iPhone on the side. What the?? Frustration level 2.5

Unplug iPhone, plug back in. Nothing. Repeat process several times. Still nothing. So, I begin doing some searching online about iPhone not showing up in iTunes. I find much help. Try uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling. Result? error when installing. Repeat process. Result? error again. Frustration level 8.

Results??? Same old iPhone, same old OS, no wonderful new update for me. Still working on this issue, will let you know how I resolve it, if ever.

Oh, and in a completely unrelated incident, my wonderful son Emmett (who is 2) decided it would be a good idea to throw my iPhone onto the driveway. Results of glass hitting pavement? Cracked iPhone. Luckily it still works, just hope no glass shards make their way into my ear.....

  1. Oh no!! It sounds like you have had an awful time with this! Did you try calling Apple support and seeing if they could walk you through trouble shooting? You might also try calling the UMD Help Desk 218-726-8847

  2. I'm still trying to figure out what's going on and am sitting here with Bruce our tech person -- he asks what kind of computer you are on and what operating system? Thanks!
