When I was young and just learning to build websites I spent so many sleepless nights trying to build websites to function properly in that piece of trash that I swore it off for life. I know it's much better than it was, but I don't care anymore. Anything that forces people to use an alternative makes me smile.

Yeah, I'm not sure what all this is about.

I am guessing an older version of IE - Maybe 7 or 8?

There's an iCloud for windows app you can download if you're using vista or 7.

I think it's Pretty cool that iCloud works with outlook

I think its utter crap that they'll support iCloud on Vista and not Snow Leopard.

As usual, Apple's cloud strategy leaves tons to be desired.

It's the Apple way. Keep up or be left behind. Usually it isn't quite this bad, but they generally take great pride in keeping people updated whereas Windows seems very focused on making sure everything is backwards compatible to moment 0.

I have some songs cutting out before the song is over since IOS 5 is there a fix for this?

[HotHotHeat]

Exchange works with windows 95, so you're set sclithero.

Anyone getting duplication of tracks on albums they buy on their phone? It looks like I buy it on my phone, so then iTunes automatically downloads it, then when I synch it doesn't realize that the tracks are already on my phone.

I don't want to start a new thread, so I will just drop this here.

Any time my phone has been connected to my car via bluetooth, after it disconnects, it goes into some sort of mega volume mode. Keyboard clicks, email alerts, texts alerts, are at ridiculous volume levels.

Anyone experience anything similar? Shutting off the phone seems to be the only fix.

I'm getting duplicate songs, but even when I buy them off of iTunes. For example the latest Black Keys album. For whatever reason though, on the phone I was able to click this little circle thing beside each duplicate song in the album and it removed them. But I recently bought the latest Megadeth album, and I couldn't delete them from the phone. Very frustrating.
