This is my weekly, "iTunes is junk" posting. I've decided to do this every week. Here is my current complaint...
I synced five movies to iTunes and went on vacation. After watching the movies I deleted them manually from my iPad. Many months later I am now preparing for another trip. I plug the iPad into iTunes and it wants to re-sync those five movies from last time. So I need to uncheck those movies to prevent the sync and here comes the rub. iTunes has no mechanism to easily show me which movies to uncheck. I would have to scroll through over 1,000 movies looking for them. Now if you've ever tried to scroll through the sync movies screen you will know this is completely impossible as it simply doesn't scroll. It just sits and smiles and then slowly moves after a few minutes.
So now I am stuck syncing those five movies to my iPad just so I can know which ones they are. Then I can un-sync them and sync the ones I actually want. This does not make any sense.
If I'm missing an easy solution please let me know. Otherwise...bbbblllpppp on iTunes.
