I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Different power supply?

Forgive me, but different from the plug that goes into the router and the wall, or a different wall outlet? Or, like, should I try wind energy and nuclear. This is outside my ken.

stratta: reset router. IP address is still bunk.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Am I missing something, or are iTunes rentals excluded from Home Sharing?

DH rented a couple of movies and we want to watch them on the TV (which is connected to my old G5), but they're not showing up under his account in the Shared section. Are we out of luck?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Forgive me, but different from the plug that goes into the router and the wall,

This. The AC adapter.

Sorry for the confusion.

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

Recommendations for a simple mp3 player for a Mac? I wanna play Caprica on iTunes while listening to the commentary podcast, which means I can't user iTunes to play the podcast like I usually do. Tonight I'm gonna use Audacity, but that seems like a lot of firepower to bring to the equation when I just wanna listen to something.

Crap, I just realized I could use my iPod for the podcast, but then I'd need an additional 1/8" stereo plug to RCA connector thingie....

Our wings are not tired

Just use the Quicktime player application.

Dammit, why didn't I think of that?

Thanks.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

umm, so my computer went apeshit this morning, telling me that I had a virus. I ran anti spyware, it found 15 items (mostly tracking cookies) and everything seemed to be fine. Unfortunately, a bunch of programs don't work anymore, like Firefox. Anything with an .exe string won't run.

Oddly, Explorer seems to work fine. Thoughts?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Run the virus scanner and malware scanner in safe mode, for a start.
