I was shocked yesterday when I had to do an emergency fix on my trouble-free computer! This was the first since I have owned it - over a year and a half!
What happened was that I applied all the updates outside of Motherland. It's crazy I couldn't download any updates while under the protective care of the one single happy family rule. Took me 15 minutes to download my iPhone & iPad updates in $ingapore. The same update would took over 5 hours and could be disrupted without warning from "inside the womb". Frustrating. Even connecting to my SMTP servers to email was next to snail mail.
Anyway, back to my @pplE problem. After all the updates, things were normal until I plug my iPhone in. Pop-up error: Sync service was not started.. something like that. No resolutions. Thank god for Google. I discovered that after updating to the 10.6 the latest version, this problem can occur. What? Then why updates? The solution? I had to uninstall iTune and remove packages from my computer. Seemed I was back in the Windows days! Then I had to download iTune and reinstall. Good thing I have made a rule not to updates while inside my motherland. Otherwise, I would be more frustrating than anything.
I fixed the problem. Things are back to normal. Except I am now out CAD99.00 because my @pple Developer Membership somehow was removed from my account!!! Yes, removed. The permission system would not let me download the files I am currently qualified for. But my account profile said I am! I had to re-registered under another account. Worst was that when I got the "Access Denied" page, the link to contact Technical Support was a dead link!!!! "Page not found"! You are kidding me right? This would be just bad stuff for Windows but not Apple right? I went up one level to get the right screen in order to submit my problem to Tech Support. So far... NO answer.
Aghhhhhhh.....
