I am normally a big fan of Apple and their products, and have spent many thousands of dollars for decades purchasing and wrestling with their update paths.
I just came back from my second trip to the Apple store today, after having made an appointment earlier today to talk to an Apple genius.
My question is very focused, after having been reading Q and A and suggestions at forumsclikecthis one: What exactlly can I sync and what can't I sync between my iPad which is stuck at iOS 5 on my legacy G5 Mac, with the new iPhone 5 I pre-ordered last Wednesday at 4:00 AM?
To be shipped this Friday.
The "geniuses" are overwhelmed by customers, and in the sixty seconds he was generious enough to bestow on me, he spent it rushing me impatiently and finally saying he had no more time, and would have to get back to me. The concierge spent all his time trying to sell me more Mac equipment rather than on why I was there. I made this evening appointment 6 hours earlier online.
Suffice it to say, the "geniuses" are worthless. And I am very disappointed with Apple's unwillingness to help customers make their new products compatible with their legacy systems.
Frankly, I left that store with a very bad taste in my mouth over this shoddy treatment. I've spent hours trying to find anwsers to pretty **** basic questions. What can I sync and what can't I sync on the iPhone 5 with different OS's.? And HOW do I sync what I can sync?
Duh? Screw Apple. I am so ****** at them I am seriously thinking of just cacnelling the iphone 5 order. I don't the **** thing.
