Looks like it needs another device to sync as far as I can tell. I mean it has to be hooked up to a PC to sync.

I still haven't figured out a way to get iTunes on my laptop either..

It needs to sync via cable, no matter what model. Synching via Bluetooth would be cool, though. I sync mine to an old Asus laptop I've got around the house.

Smash it (or blend it) and post a video on uTube :D

Is it the download or the install that doesn't work? Try a mirror site like Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

Anyway, huge apple biggot here, but I don't want an IPed, don't really need one. I am waiting (and have been for along time apple) for the latest MacBook Air to come out all the functionality of an laptop with the weight of an iPad. I hope it will be better than previous gens and will come out soon. That will give the netbooks a better run than an iPad.

That's called taking the point to an illogical extreme. What is really needed is BALANCE in the size. (screen big - device small , ,, there is a sweet-spot)

So many of the UMPC's have similar displays but manage to hve a form factor suitable for sliding into a jacket pocket. ...or cargo shorts ...you get the idea.

Anyway, as I've said before, I think that we will see more convergence of device size ...as "cellphones" become more and more personal computers.

You *&#$%!!!!! Now I'm going to have to listen to the whole freakin' album- and it's 1200 and that thing is an hour and 15 minutes long! Bastard.

I just don't know.

The newest super phones are around 4-4.5". I've got a couple of colleagues at work that have a couple of models. The Sprint Evo 4G and the Droid X are, to me, pushing the max size for a phone that I'd want to mess with. Dell has the Streak that is a 5". I haven't seen one, but frankly, I think it's going to be too big to be a comfy phone, and too small to be an effective tablet.

Now, there are several vendors that are coming out with 7" tablets. I think the 7" tablet might be a good option, big enough to be useful, but still fairly small. I can definitely see myself using a tablet around the house, or possibly even when I go to my mother's on vacation. I don't see myself carrying it to work or starbucks or anything like that. For that reason, I think 9-10.5" is probably perfect for my use.

Cisco is getting ready to release a 7" Android based tablet that's going to do a bunch of Cisco type stuff (which should trickle down to my phone). I'm hoping that I can manage to wrange one of the Cisco tablets out of my company.

In the mean time, I think I'm going to get an ipad within the next month. Happy Birthday to me!! :D

I'm waiting for a full function touch screen Win 7 tablet. Not sure it will even happen, now that HP dropped out.

You sure you are downloading the correct version of iTunes. Maybe you are downloading the Mac version, which won't run under Windows...

Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

When I click the blue "Download Now" button in FF, I get this:

Click on "Save File" and it gets saved to my Downloads directory.

EDIT: Guess I missed the post on getting iTunes Dl'ed.

Let's face it. Island is right, and the millions of people who bought iPads are wrong. Apple will fail because even though they are selling millions of them, iPads are fundamentally flawed. Even though everyone who has ever used my iPad either has gone and bought one, or totally lusts after one, they are doomed to failure. I better go sell all my Apple stock now before it loses all it's value.

Oh, Ed, don't be such a prissy queen.

Your logic suggests that Pinto's were great cars . . . because so many were sold.:rolleyes:

So when you can't make a point, just start calling people names. Real classy!

I hate iTunes, got away from using it years ago and never looked back. What a resource hog of a program.

Have fun with that iPad and running one application at a time.

My point there was clear - you are being a prissy queen with your innuendo. . .. which, btw, was a pointless attack directed at me.

Any questions? SmileWavy

I really must have something wrong with the laptop. I've tried it from the mirror site and that doesn't work. I get the same dialogs as pictured above. This is strange! Ok, so I open the folder were it's saving it and it populates it with two files.

iTunesSetup.exe.PART -This says it's a Part file 3701KB
iTunesSetup - This says it's the application 0KB

Okay great I wait for it to finish downloading and then it removes them. I can't even rt click and open containing folder from the download window. Very Strange!

I'm running Windows Vista on this laptop. Does it have something to do with memory left? I the bar is in the red but it says there's 4.6GB left. Could that be the issue?

Yes.... That could be your problem. :)

what's the folder? that's normal

yep No, 4.6GB is more than plenty. That's probably 40-100x as much space as you need.

What browser are you using? Does it ask you where you want to save the file to when it starts?

Sounds like its time to delete some porn....

What Virus software are you running?

Should not need to but try disabling it.

Or try picking the destination, changing the download location.

Years ago had a girl on staff who was having all sorts of issues with disappearing files.

No one could find anything wrong with her machine.

So one morning she comes in and starts having a fit about the previous days work being lost. She verified that it was there before she shut down.

I said "show me" so she launches an app, creates a file, goes to save it and I see her navigate to the Temp Folder and save it.:eek:

Applications that support undos create Temp Directories on launch to house well, temporary cache type data and purge them when they shut down.

Right, that was my thought. I think many/most browsers hold a file in a temp folder until it's downloaded then move it to another location.

While it's downloading it's in Bill\Downloads then disappears.

I've used IE as well and selected it to save to the desktop and it puts the file there but when I dbl click it nothing happens.

I'm using Avast anti-virus software.

I'm using FF and it doesn't ask where to save the file. But it downloads it to Bill\Downloads but when it's finished disappears.

I'm using Avast Anti-virus.

I'm also used IE and selected the desktop and it puts the file there but nothing happens when I dlb click it.

Hang on a minute.

If you were able to download on a different machine I'd just stick that .exe on a thumbdrive and bring it home.

Good idea! I'll put it on a flash drive and bring it over... I'll see if that works! Thanks!

That did it! I don't know why I didn't think of that because I had to do that from the laptop to the desktop as it didn't have a DVD burner and it needed some software when I got it. Now it was just moving files the other way. Anyways, it's on my laptop now so I'm off and running like Johnny Appleseed! LOL!

So I got it to work on my laptop... Can you guys stand another newbie question?

I went on iTunes on my laptop and downloaded a few FREE apps. Then I Sync'd the iPad and they don't show up. But if I download them on my iPad they work just fine. So my question is should I just download them on my iPad or in iTunes and figure out the Sync-ing process or do I have it backwards? Sorry, really I'm as green as they come in regards to Apple stuff. Seriously, my first and last exp was in the early-mid 80's and that was it. Maybe that was a hint? hahaha!

Go into ITunes and select Sync all files, check and see in each section what is being Sync'd Sorry I don't have it open now so I can't get more specific.

Basically you choose what you want sync'd when the ipad is hooked up.

Steve, good luck getting a Cius before me :P

I'm hoping to develop an app or two for it when the SDK comes out.

Highly unlikely, but here's hoping.

Apparently Cisco is planning to develop lots of stuff for Android. I hear that they're going to convert other Cisco Hardware to Android. That sort of thing is good to hear. It means that Android will continue to improve and be developed.

Ohh, he's a genius now? I suggested that way back on page 1, post#5......:rolleyes:

He was in the "get it downloaded" state of mind and your post was before he had success on a second machine so he likely did not recall your suggestion.

And yes, you are a genius. Feel better now?

Just wanking for wankings sake......glad he got the Itunes loaded....though for the life of me, I can't figure out why it wasn't preloaded on the IPAD.....

it was

he was having an issue with getting on his laptop

You had the right answer just at the wrong time for me. Heck I even had to install programs before with a flash drive. I just forgot about doing it that way, just like your post. Sorry. He just reminded me at the right place and the right time. Don't feel bad... SmileWavy

I really appreciate everyone's input and help because it works just fine now! I'm off and running...
