Got you Apple!!!

Well after an early start, well early for us, we set off at about 10.00 to visit Best buy and hopefully solve the IPod issues. We got there on time and had to wait for a few minutes but after them spending about twenty minutes it became clear that problems could not be resolved and they said we needed to visit an Apple Store. We know there is one in Sarasota and we we sais we would call in there en -route to Clearwater next week but they said it is wise to book.
As we are still looking for dresses for Jennifer and before we go back to the we visited Kohl’s and also Walmart but still no luck an then it was time fo an early lunch and so we settled on a burger at the chain called ‘FIVE GUYS’

and the burgers and fries are about the best you can get and certainly very tasty with great fries.  Then back to the Town Centre Mall and finally on the sale rack we found found three suitable dresses all marked down and so the three outfits cost about £ 30.00 so brilliant.
Then back to house for a cup of tea and a sit by the pool  for a while and  then  Noel decided to try and book an appointment at the Apple Sarasota centre, but the centre is fully booked until mid-February, what is going on with Apple products one wonders???. S now what to do. Apple have a phone help line and so we set our selves up for a call back which happened at about 5.30 pm which eventually took one, one basic trained assistant who was unable to resolve and the boss who could also not resolve the matter. So looks like a complete factory reset but we do not want to do that today as we would lose all the music on which Noel wants for the cruise next week. In Noels business history he did a lot of work with Apple Europe , good business but hard work, so now I could get my own back. I told the guy from Apple that I had a hammer hovering over the unit if he could not fix it and that was the end of Apple for me . To try and reset a password or Apple you need a degree in Advanced Electronics and Software so overall we started on the problem at 5.30 and finished around 7.30 , B ridiculous so will most likely find another MP32 player without all this complicated Apple security stuff which is really not needed when you only use it for music. Oh well.
The rest of the evening we watched a short series starring Daniel Craig, the James Bond man, quite good but it was filmed in 2011.
