I hate to write another iRant, but this time I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing these errors, and/or what I should do about them.
I want to start off by saying that words cannot express how horrible of a program I think iTunes is. I have used a lot of different programs across a whole gamut of categories in my time, and I dub iTunes the iCrappiest.
My latest woes involve Apps. It seems if I purchase an App from the App Store on my iPhone, theres a 50/50 chance it will never show up on iTunes once I sync, not even when I go to "Check For Purchases". So, I have some Apps that only exist on my iPhone, and some that are on both my iPhone and my iTunes. So much for backing everything up.
Another annoying App problem is when I get the notice on my iPhone that an update is available to an app I have purchased and/or downloaded, this is often what happens when I open up App Store and tell it to download the update:
Strange, but okay, whatever. The only problem is, when I try to find the update once my iPhone is connected to my computer, iTunes shows there is no update for that program which my iPhone is telling me needs an update. This problem is only compounded when it is a program that will not show up in iTunes from the error I described before this one.The last annoyance is this one:

This is an error I get SOME of the time when I attempt to sync the contents of my iPhone with iTunes. It says a whole plethora of programs could not 'install on the iPhone' because of an error.All this shit I seem to be having to deal with involving iTunes/iPhone is really taking the fun out of owning an iPhone. So far, the simplicity factor of it all has been absolutely lost on me.
I have made up my mind that if this continues, or if I'm faced with another iNoyance to deal with, the precious iPhone is going to ebay-land. That really really sucks, but I cannot stand having to deal with constant problem after problem.
Does anyone know what may be causing all this AppCrapp? What should I do?

I have been reading a plethora of stuff that the Windows based Iphones have been coming up with. And unfortunately I think if Tony isn't going in the right direction. I think it is simply a case of Apple Products "trying" to work on windows. It just doesn't work that well. It is a WHOLE lot easier to make stuff from windows work over on mac then the other way around.
I have been reading that a lot of windows users that have been thinking about moving to Mac this has basically made the decision for them. And they went a head and got a mac. Others have been returning their iphones or ebaying them off then moving to one of the other smartphones.
I would seriously think about doing reloading itunes and resetting your phone. If that doesn't work try a complete reformat of the HD and fresh install of everything. Then reset your phone. If that doesn't work then contact Apple. Chances are Apple is going to tell you to reload everything first before they will want to do anything with the Phone anyways.
But to answer your question. Mary and I have not had the problems you have been exhibiting.
If after the replacement phone doesn't do any better. Then maybe its finally time to make the jump to a Mac.
You said you have a mac at work. Have you tried to sync it with that for a week or so to see if it works any better?
I use itunes with my ipod, and I have never experienced any of these iproblems. I think Mike's suggestion sounds good, but getting a new iphone is probably easier. But trying to use your iphone with your computer at work might be a good idea. However, I don't know if that would create a problem with your iphone somehow becoming "attached" to your work computer. Because that would suck. I'll ask Tony.
