My friend, Kathi, recently had an issue with her iphone. She needed my help. Rut-ro. I'm not much help when it comes to tech issues so I put in a call to my geek buddy, Jeremy.
After I described the issue he said "Rut-ro. You're gonna need a bigger boat." hehe Get the reference? You didn't? How old are you, anyway???
The problem was that iphone had an update that caused a problem for Kathi which could only be rectified by an Apple pro so off to Best Buy and their Geek Squad.
Problem solved quicker than we imagined and we were on our merry way.
Yesterday I was on my merry way to Michael's (big sale) and needed to use my Google Maps but . . . Rut-ro.
What??? Nothing was working right. Then I saw a notice on my screen which made my blood run cold.
UPDATE COMPLETED
Ok, fine but now - because of APPLE - I needed my id and password to get the thing up and running again.
Do I know my Apple id? Yes. Do I know my password? Hell, no!!!
Now I can't access the coupon I need while in Michael's in order to get even MORE of a discount!
I have a list of user names and passwords in a doc on my phone BUT I CAN'T GET TO THEM BECAUSE - well you know . . . .
Fortunately, the kindly cashier took pity on me and gave me the extra 20% off my entire purchase without seeing the coupon ON MY PHONE.
I think it was the puppy dog eyes brimming with tears that softened her heart.
I love my phone. Use it all the time but I sure wish Apple would send out a big fat "heads up" before they turn my life upside down.
Feeling much more settled today.
Thank you for listening.
