Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
If both systems are running iTunes 9, if you map one compter's library onto the other, you can merge them.
Oooh. So if I want two libraries to live as one on a third computer, I'd just transfer one to the server-to-be, and then map the other one onto it?
With the latest version of iTunes you set up home sharing and then you can look at a remote library and see any media files that aren't already present, you can then tell iTunes to import those files.
Awesomecakes, thanks.
Either way take it to an Apple store.
Alas, I live in Iowa where there are no Apple stores! There is one Apple authorized place close by, so I'm planning to take it in.
I'm posting from my sisters pc because the battery on the Macbook Pro ran down all the way and now the computer won't start up at all, even with the power cord plugged in!
I am totally jonsing for it now!
I meant the power cord/brick, not the charger inside the computer. Do you know anybody else with a Macbook or Macbook Pro whose power cord you could test with your laptop?
Oh, Not having seen the new Macbooks in person, I thought the AC adapter was inside the unit. Now that you have pointed it out, I sometimes forget that they've slimmed down laptops/notebooks to the point that they no longer can have everything inside.
Interesting. I need to see one up close. I feel like my advice is not unlike telling someone with tire trouble to go to a cooper to replace your wagon wheel.
Adventures in media server setup land! So far this morning I have discovered that I have:
1 - lost my iLife '09 installation DVD, and
2 - have no spare ethernet cables
The ethernet cables are just annoying (I'm connected now via Airport and cables are cheap), but the missing iLife DVD bugs me. I really don't want to have to pay for this software again after shelling out for the family pack once. Grr.
I can haz Hulu on the teevee! Woo hoo!
I iz back online! Whoo hoo!
It was the power cord! It only cost me $79! The battery is now happily charging and the computer is happily running!
FCC evicts wireless mics from future 4G band
The US Federal Communications Commission has ordered theaters, churches, schools, theme parks, and other wireless microphone users to vacate the 700 MHz band, that prime slice of American spectrum set to house the next generation of wireless broadband services.
On Friday, the FCC issued an order (PDF) prohibiting the distribution or sale of devices that operate at frequencies between 698 and 806 MHz, and anyone already using such devices in the band must leave with six months.
