Stupid question, Zen: your music is actually on the work laptop, right?
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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.

The music is still there, at least some of it is, but it's not in the iTunes or the iPod folder anymore. Of course. So, it might be easier to import the music library than try moving the files around and then make them work.

I can do that by hooking up my iPod and letting it copy all the stuff over, right? That's what I did just now with the eeePC. And of course, iTunes thinks the iPod is synced with a computer I no longer have. Maybe I should Deactivate All first. (I never had playlists and rating anyway. I know, I'm not using the technology to its fullest capacity.)
Frick. Nothing's easy.

No, if the files are on your computer, you can tell iTunes "This folder is where my music is. Go look there." It's somewhere in the settings. (Note: That is not literally what iTunes says.)

Okay, well, it's playing some songs and not others. Baffling.

I think you need to rebuild the library. There should be an option for that.

So... is it possible to block text messages? I've been getting a fair amount of spam texts lately and I'd like to stop that happening.

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

Me too. Is this becoming common for other folks?

Me three with more spam texts. Luckily, especially now with iMessage, I hardly use the texts I pay for, so it's more annoying than expensive. But I dislike it a whole lot.
