I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

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!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Vortex,

did you download the stuff from your ipad or your computer?

connect the ipad to your computer and check out how much space you have on the ipad. how much space is for videos?

it is probably a syncing problem.

When you are in the iTunes app and you tap on Purchased (the one at the bottom next to Downloads, not the button within Downoads which seems to go somewhere else), do they show up there? Changing the View between Movies, TV Shows and Music seems to crash the app, btw.

Yes, they show up in purchased, but when I tap th ecloudbutton to download them, they download again, but don't appear on th iPad. I can watch online, but I wanted them for offline viewing.

Hm. Let's see if I can duplicate the problem. When I download a season, the store marks it as downloaded immediately, but it doesn't show up in the library right away (I'm trying right now so I can see what happens).

Oh, wait, if I do only one episode I at least get it showing up in "Downloads" so I can see progress. And it shows up in the library while it's downloading.

I think my problem was trying to download too much for my available memory. Could that apply?

I don't think so. It downloads, then says "processing". Then the screen flickers and everything disappears.

Okay, I went to take a photo to show you and suddenly, they are all there. Over a day after I downloaded them. Wtf?

Processing? Huh.

Can you find them by searching for the video name on that screen before the first screen of apps? If you can you can play them from there. If you can't then the problem is in the downloading, probably.

Have you rebooted?

Eta: I have no idea, but I'm glad they showed up!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Lifehacker lists their top 5 web hosts (added recs in the comments): [link]

I am a little surprised Dreamhost is #1, just because I didn't expect I'd be using the #1, not that they suck or anything (admittedly I didn't get hacked in the last security violation).

Coding and Sleeping

I've been pretty happy with FatCow, but my needs aren't that involved with only a handful of domains doing simple stuff. I can't run an application server off of it, which would be nice though.
