Wow, Liese. I'm all freaking over one!
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I have four domain names hosting some content or another. Only one of which goes towards profit. I used to squat like nobody's business--every time a phrase sounded cool, I'd register it. If I'd been savvier, maybe I could have made money off it. But thevelvetedge.com is the only one anyone's tried to buy off me, and it's not going anywhere.

I've rented The Doctor Who episode but I can't see anything. The iTunes player says it;s playing but I have a blank screen and no sound. What am I doing wrong?
I keep being asked to "authorize" the computer, but then I get a message saying it is already authorized.

quester, have you upgraded your iTunes version since the last time you bought/rented any video? Steph L. "Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."" Apr 17, 2011 1:57:44 pm PDT
t edit It's a known issue that happens after upgrading -- the post I linked you to has a link to an Apple discussion about it, and suggestion for contacting Apple.

I just updated it a couple of days ago. I have't tried to watch anything for several months.
There's a we'll be back soon sign on the discussions page.

The upgrade is the problem. If the link to Apple in the post I linked above doesn't work, use this: [link]

I'm not tech-y enough to know *why* it's an issue, but it happened to me, and angry googling finally turned up that thread, which seems to address the exact issue. Upgrading shouldn't be a problem, but there's a ghost in the machine somewhere.

I've just shot a request for help from Apple for that same problem--I'll let y'all know what they do for me when I hear back from them! (They promise a response within 24 hours.)
