Could iTunes be any worse? (rant)

[LannyC]

I only use iBooks as a place to store PDFs of things such as product manuals, opera libretti, and other references. I guess it simply offends my sense of tidiness that clutter cannot be eliminated.

I've found iCloud backup to be pretty much bulletproof - fast, reliable, painless, and it happens every time you put your device on charge. I was never happy with wifi syncing via iTunes so I stopped using it; perhaps you should too?? Life's too short to get all vexed about this stuff. If it doesn't do what you want, dump it and move on - there are alternative apps for just about everything; I was only syncing regularly for podcasts, and I use Downcast app for that now. I never used iBooks because Kiindle had/has a much better selection where I live, etc..etc..

I'm with ya. I will occasionally plug our idevices into a PC laptop with iTunes on it but the cloud has been pretty good. iTunes just isn't a good app or experience for most people. I wish apple would phase it out are redesign the whole darned thing.
