Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ummm...I would check that how?

Depends on the router. Most all routers allow you to log into them (with a browser) and change settings.

When you do this, be sure to change your router's default password if you haven't yet.

The only thing I don't like about the new itunes - which didn't happen to me with the old itunes - is that I'm getting distorted sound from itunes when I use other programs while itunes is playing music/podcasts. I have to use other programs while playing itunes - so this distorted sound is not fun.

I'm on a PC. Anyone else experiencing this?

Step by step instructions on how to use the new iTunes back up feature: [link]

I probably won't use this, as my Mac Mini is backed up once a day to an external drive.

No.

But I haven't tried new iTunes on a PC yet - I'll install it now and see what happens (I do lots of processor-intensive stuff on my work PC).

So far no problems with distorted sound on the work PC.

The problem might not be with iTunes, it might be something else that's running on your PC that's hogging the CPU.

OK, iTunes on my work PC is taking an average of 11% of the CPU, but it sometimes jumps up to over 50%. I think that's a lot more than it used to, but I'm not positive.

This is on a 1.80 GHz Pentium 4, with a GB of RAM.

eta: I suppose that iTunes could still be looking for album art, which might explain the spikes in the CPU usage.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So, is this "sync iPod to multiple computers" thing a feature of iTunes 7 (or iPod software update)? Or just the new iPods?
