My MacBook Pro does not recognize it when plugged in with the USB cable. When I click import from camera... it automatically goes to the Mac built-in camera and my face shows up REEEAL big... scared the compound potty outta me.
Reminded me of that YouTube video of the senior couple trying to understand their Skype... HAhaaaa...
Anyway... it was determined that my OLD 3G does not allow the upload from this app to my computer.... total and complete bummer! It is time for an upgrade which the 4Gs have the built in Apple camcorder --- not an app. And so well I've blown a whopping $1.99... My videos will transfer HOPEFULLY to the new iPhone.
It seems I could upload to YouTube. It will upload a small one then YouTube gets cantankerous and says no - authentication failed - wrong password and such. IS NOT... I dunno. Driving me insane. I've googled and I've yahooed and I've forumed and I've Apple stored --- nothing
The Genius Bar guy was the one who finally said... the app will not work from my current 3G with the Mac... ok --- but why not to YouTube... he doesn't have a clue ... and quite frankly I know he doesn't give a patoo... it isn't an Apple thang.... HOWEVER ... I betcha if I had been some sweet young thing... he would've cared more... Hahaaaa sigh
The Apple Store as I've mentioned before is in a new money area. Gorgeous shopping outdoor type shopping center... along with this are the people in suits, well groomed people in the latest fashions and have the look of wealth.
I was taken aback a bit --- surprised me - an unexpected emotion or thought ... I used to live in that up-to-date business world. I played and lived in great areas of a city. I don't think I owned any shoes other than spike heels! I really don't. Even my house shoes had to have some sort of heel because my back would kill me from wearing heels all the time and I needed to always wear some kind of heel... Weren't we something back then ...
Anyone remember when pantyhose came along and freed us! wonderful wonderful invention. Oh, man those garter belts and girdles and such.... no wonder we were allowed to be grumpy monthly...
Again... I'm reminded of how my life has taken so many turns. How did I end up where I am. It isn't bad. It isn't anything other than a different lifestyle than what I was used to.
Going to the best restaurants and clubs. Buying clothing and shoes and such to go to such places. Dressing up. Hair salons and manicures.
The reason I'm writing about this is to try and come to grips with the fact that I will be 69 in two months. I am not where I thought I would be. I'm not living a lifestyle I want. Really, Carolyn? What news to my blog... jeeeez broken record
I do not care about getting dressed and prepped ! every morning and fighting traffic and bosses and plastic people --- the rat race --- I'm very thankful and grateful for what I have ....
So how does this translate. Unsatisfied. boo freakin hoo. There are people who would kill to have had my opportunities and even what I have now. I've mentioned before my two childhood pals are very successful and still living that lifestyle. I'm happy for them but we travel in different circles now.
My journey... ongoing and despite my quest to be UNshallow ... I miss being shallow sometimes. Isn't that something.
My Little g'baby is better today ;) This picture is of her dancing, Chelsea says she's reeeal itchy and is wearing her onesies to cover her little precious legs... little angel

| Doing her happy dance in a bag... and being reeeal blurry |

| What a good little mommy |
What a beautiful little child!
ReplyDeleteShallow was fine back when, but I was never more liberated than when I retired out of that world and set foot on the Appalachian Trail hoping to hike 2170 miles at one go. Hell, I was lucky to get a shower once a week, and my boots were way more comfortable than high heels. I still have the boots, lol.
Thank you... to us she sure is ;)
ReplyDeleteLoved reading about your Appalachian Trial hiking ... as I've said .. you have really done some NEAT stuff! 2170 miles.. man oh man - what were you thinking!?
I was soooo tired one time somewhere in the mid 70s of THAT life. I went to Sears and charged up a bunch of camping stuff --- recommended by the salesman!
Boy did he see me coming.. I'm pretty sure I did a post about that somewhere back there...
Hilarious ... I had never camped in my life and I bought a gazillion dollars worth of stuff and me and my cat, Yorkshire... took off for the hills... literally... Eureka Springs, Arkansas from Dallas...
I even bought my first pair of high heeled tennis shoes.... ;)
oh, me... what an era
That would be trail not trial hiking.. sigh sigh sigh
ReplyDeleteHAaaa even though it was quite a trial I'm sure...
You are so funny but what you write is true for all of us...as they say it is all good but sometimes it is just all hard...this getting older and being invisible to the younger generation Apple people...my nephew works for Apple..he loves it, of course. p.s. I swear this computer know what I am typing..my verification word is dormant!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, what a sweet little cherub. She adorable. I'm so glad that she's feeling better today. Have they tried some Calamine lotion on her itchy skin. I hope that those bad chickens goes away for good.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you can resolve your Apple video problem. All that stuff is way too techy for me.
Getting old is certainly not for the sissies.
She's adorable. I think she's part kitty! they like bags too ;-) Glad she's feeling better!
ReplyDeleteI too used to be part of that world. Had to have the nicest dresses, heels, etc. My other world, the dog show world, involves suits & nice clothes, but not heels! heehee
I plan on buying some new boots soon though! I want a pair of cowgirl X Harley D kinda boots now to go with jeans. I'm a jeans & t'shirt kinda gal -- always have been though. shoes of choice these days are tennis shoes due to the wankle issues. But not white ones.
HAaaa, Sheryl… well, I'm sure your nephew LOVES us old folk… It was so funny when the first little guy couldn't answer what was happening and went online to make me an appointment --- he brought up the information screen and was two finger typing… while asking me my name and all that stuff… I said let me do it…
ReplyDeleteI did and well, I made my living typing for 112 years…plus sold and trained on PCs! funny to see these kids see us old folk be savvy with computers and able to type fast. really.
I rather enjoy their expressions when they're talking down to me about computers and I ask pertinent questions … I was around computers before their parents were born! HArumph … ;)
Speaking of ! Betty White is beginning a new show about old people punking the young! HAHAaaa I can hardly wait… it will be on after her 90th birthday celebration Monday….
Yes! the verification words are really something sometimes… I had one the other day… and well, of course, I can't remember it! but I thought the same thing as you did… the computer knows all….
Julia! I don't know how in the world you find time to come visit me but I'm sure glad you do… thank you… she is awfully sweet… oh, yes she's covered in Calamine…
and I guess I'm going to have to wait until I can afford the $200 upgrade to the 4G… Without an upgrade those things are almost $700!!!
My iPhone is the second model made and there have been many advancements. Seems this third party app will record on my phone but it doesn't like transferring the files to my computer… which is a complete and total bummer. I'll fix it. ;)
Yep getting older ain't for the weak!
cat on the keyboard! … ah ok off
Hey Cyn! thank you! and she's around my two cats and her cat --- picks up their tricks…
Well glad your boot is off anyway and each day you'll get stronger … hope you get your RV fixed soon… what a bummer!
Well my uniform is flops - capris and/or jeans and whatever flamboyant top I can find to cover the rolls… sigh
Just had two ginger cookies and no sugar added -- hahaa --- Blue Bell Strawberries and Cream ice cream and coffee…
phooey on the rolls until my lifestyle gets sorted!
