Oooh, yeah, I have that with my vpn and work computer at home sometimes! I reboot, synch the clocks with a server and it is all good again. Of course, that means you have to get the offending computer online somehow. Maybe plug it into the actual internet line? t /talking out of my ass, bigtime.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My computer went online no problem, it just thought it was in 2002.
I have another question! iTunes says I've used 3 of my 5 devices that I can have iTunes on at one time. One of those devices was a work laptop that I no longer have, and one was a desktop I no longer use. Is there any way to get iTunes to give me those devices "back"?

There should be an option to Deauthorize somewhere in the preferences. Unfortunately I believe how it works is you deauthorize *everything* and then re-authorize the devices you have one at a time.

Just keep in mind if you do that, you can't do it again for another year.

Dammit. I downloaded iTunes to my work laptop, and it won't play any song because "the original file cannot be located". When I tell it to Locate the file, it opens a little window with no songs in it and the file name empty. I don't know what to do with that.
Seriously, if this evening is typical of how "easy" Apple stuff is to use, I'm sticking with PC.

Stupid question, Zen: your music is actually on the work laptop, right?

Dana, that may not be a stupid question. I had iTunes on this laptop before, and deleted it when my boss threw a fit. Since then I've found that everyone else ignored her and kept their iTunes. So I downloaded iTunes again, thinking the music - which is still there - would still be accessible to it. Apparently it is not, but I have no idea what to do about it.

If you deleted iTunes before, it may not have a library to load. Can you try importing your music back in? You won't have playlists and ratings and stuff.
Edit: Or if it's loading the library, maybe check and see what your default directory is, so you can tell it where to find the music.
