Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

When I go to play songs I've bought, or sync my iPod, iTunes says the computer is not authorized.

And then it won't let you authorize it? Way to create an unsolvable problem, iTunes!

(I couldn't remember the problem you were having, but I remembered it involved your computer AND your iPod AND songs you bought. I had bought a TV show episode on my iPod and wanted to transfer it from the iPod to my computer, and I thought you just sync it, but that didn't work. I drove myself mad trying to figure it out, until I realized there's a menu option of "Transfer items purchased on iPod." But there was never an authorization problem, so I doubt that would solve your problem.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Do you have more than one Apple account?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm 90% sure I don't. It's just some screwy thing.

Hey. New board.

You can check if the songs are registered under another Apple ID by right-clicking the songs in iTunes and choosing "Get Info." The account they are registered under appears there.

I doubt that's your problem, but worth checking.

I have a friend with really bad eyesight, borderline legally blind. He currently has trouble using his computer even with lots of disability friendly software. He is definitely getting at least one better screen. Is it possible if he gets two screens to do the following?

Use one for navigation with a tool similar to the windows magnifying glass. but whatever area is selected to magnify is not magnified on the first screen. Instead only the area under the magnifying glass or whatever the tool is would be fully zoomed on the second screen. So the one screen would be used for navigation, the second for reading zoomed text.

TB, there seems to be software called ZoomText that will do what your friend wants: [link]

(I just did some googling -- I've never used it)

Holy shitballs, it is. Now I just have to figure out how to resolve that. Thanks!

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

Holy shitballs, it is.

You know, holy shitballs would have more surface area than a regular shitball of the same mass, and thus would stink more.

I didn't know how to tell! And couldn't imagine I would have two log-ins!
