iTunes and its crappy updates -- beware of version 11
Even though Steve Jobs is gone, Apple continues to pursue his Economically Greedy Big Brother mentality. Everything Apple does is to tighten its grip on your wallet and to syphon money from your savings.
They do it without asking.
Another thing they do is to force you to accept their vision of "user friendly" and they are constantly dreaming up ways to make your life miserable.
Burn in Hell Steve Jobs! Burn in Hell.
The latest effort is the new iTunes Version 11 which destroys the ease at which one could manage their many iPads, iPods and other syncing. The new Version 11 creates so much confusion it is nearly impossible for you to manually move items from your purchased folder to your iPod or iPad. 
The new system REQUIRES that you sync you iPod and iTunes to their system, a Big Brother move to keep track of what you are doing. That information is secretly sent to their office so they can use it to pepper you with annoying spam ads to sell you junk that doesn't sell. The worst things that don't sell are the ones that need more advertising promotion. The good stuff doesn't need to be hyped. So, they inundate your email and system with spam trying to beat you into buying their failed garbage.
As someone who has several computer and several iPods and iPads, the new Version 11 makes it almost impossible to manage your purchases. 
Apple believes if you buy something it should go on ALL of you iPods or iPads. They don't want you to be able to decide -- use your brain -- which apps, audio books or videos should go on your system. You can remove stuff, but onlya fter they have forced you to copy it to your system.
I have so much, it's pathetic. So Apple punishes those who use their system more. If you don't have a large storage option -- maybe you purchased the cheaper smaller GB version -- you WILL have a problem.
Burn in Hell Steve Jobs, you piece of garbage!
