Why can Apple make such cool stuff, and make such shitty incomprehensible interfaces and software?

For fuck's sake - I'm trying to update the software for my iPhone. It keeps telling me that I have purchased items on my iPhone that aren't transferred to iTunes.

So, after fucking around for ten minutes trying to find the goddamn button/menu/link/whatever to make that transfer, I finally went to the web to find out how to do this easy goddamn thing that Apple's guru's decided to make non-intuitive.

So, I did that - it told me it was successful, so I tried to update the software.

Still tells me that I have purchased apps on the phone that aren't in iTunes.

Fine - do the transfer again.

And again.

And again.

Then I "synced", which is a button that iTunes has but doesn't actually say what the fuck it's fucking syncing.

Then back to transfer apps again.

And again.

Then I close out iTunes, turn it back on, and transfer again.

Still tells me that I can't update the software because I have purchased apps on the iPhone that aren't in iTunes.




Apple makes some really cool shit, but they have yet to learn how to make software with interfaces that make sense, are intuitive, or make anything easy to do.

Piece of shit.
