Glad I'm not alone here, iTunes frequently resets it's self everytime I update it, it's fantastic software but I can now put it as my most dreaded computer task, updating itunes. I haven't done it successfully for about 4 months, I've eventually done it but this has usually involve various resets and once it deleted my Firefox settings :(

Sorry but when I use my Grandmas windows laptop or my XP on VMWare fusions, everytime i load it is doing the stupid countdown to restart. There have been times when ive lost files cos ive gone down for my tea and the stupid ******* thing has counted down to a restart. There's updates every few days for Windows, i get one about once every two months for my Mac? After having my Mac a year no update has killed it.

Urm, look things up before making silly asumptions, Kernel Panics make log files for us to see with much more information than a white error code. http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

Never had your problem that you are having with the DVD player, you were probably playing a different region DVD disc to this country. Also, I showed yout his about a year ago when I first got my Mac, it doesn't take a genius babe :rolleyes::rolleyes: xxxx

How the hell can iTunes delete Firefox settings, what a load of ********. Seriously it has nothing to do with Firefox. :/

Apple software on Windows. Apple developers can't do it, and as a result should stop.

Pong lol, please don't exaggerate.

Actually it's included in the manual, and at least it's much more user friendly than a Windows BSOD, beside the point, I've never even had one so I'm not going to discuss this further.

How is it a useless mouse? It has 360degree scrolling and 4 buttons, better than most OEM bog standard mouses that come with PC's?

Well obviously they can do it. You've totally ignored what I said. I'll say it again incase you missed it...

I used iTunes on Windows for about 4 years and never had a problem.

certainly not Mac. I disliked my Mac mouse at first, but I can access my dashboard, and spotlight right from my mouse.

Tell that to Microsoft. Word 2008 is terrible. Not that you'd know.
