I tried to log into the Tivo page but I don't have access to my old email address anymore and when I tried to update that it insisted on sending a message to my Tivo to confirm I am who I say I am (and that I have the same machine).

Um, fellas, the reason I'm logging in is because my Tivo won't receive data anymore! ::grinds teeth::

I shall have to use their chat function on my day off. Bah.

Does TiVo still do lifetime subscrptions? I'm not finding them on the website. We may be getting my dad a TiVo for Xmas.

My service is up for renewal and they are offering it to me. I don't think it's offered initially for new machines.

I just got off of a nine hour shift of answering the phones at a computer security software company where half of the calls were about Internet Explorer not working because of an update Microsoft received last night that was messing with add ons like Yahoo's tool bar (?).

Has anyone encountered this problem today?

Situation: I have a first gen iPhone that is sync'd to a first gen Intel iMac. I want to upgrade to the new iPhone. But to do so, I would need to upgrade the OS on the old iMac. I'd rather not sink the money into upgrading the mac, as it's old. But I do have a Win 7 laptop.

Question: Can I take the old iPhone, sync it to the Win7 laptop, so I can then sync new (when I get it) phone to laptop instead of Mac?

I don't want to lose any data. The contacts and calendar are not on the Win7 machine. What? Me paranoid?

The Snow Leopard upgrade is only $29. I'd go that route and save yourself a lot of headaches and potential data loss.

Leopard to Snow Leopard is $29. What if you have 10.4.11 Tiger?

The "upgrade" still works. You can use it to install onto a totally blank hard drive.

rock on. Thanks ND.

Has anyone encountered this problem today?

Yes! Me! Except I guess I just got it last night. What is the solution?

Yeah, omnis, I tried to tell you Upthread--I did the $29 10.4 to 10.6 and it worked fine. You don't get the latest iPhoto and stuff, but otherwise no worries.
