Ginger,
Where are you taking your computer?
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

There's a local computer repair place that has pretty good reviews. I'll find out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Kindle app for iOS is annoying me. Sometimes when I come back to a book I'm reading, it opens on the page I was one, and sometimes it brings me to the beginning of the book, forcing me to scroll back to the page I was on. It should always open where I left off, right?
Also, I've finished two books where I can't get it to show 100% read--it stays at 99%.

Mine does. And between all my devices (well, it asks if I want to synch to the most recent and, with Kindle books, I generally do) too.
Uninstall and reinstall? It's pretty quick. It's been effective for me when I've had iOS apps get confused.

I'm trying to work out if I have a machine that I can install Mountain Lion onto. I need to make sure it will play well with Pro Tools before I put it on a few of my machines.

Feeling your pain, Ginger. Bought a new HDMI cable, still get the "no signal" message. It must be the Tivo. A lifetime subscription does you no good on a dead box. Fortunately, I have another one, but it only records one show at a time!

Went ahead with Mountain Lion. iWork syncs through iCloud like I want it to, that might make the upgrade worthwhile for me right there. Lost Parallels, though.

Another weird Kindle issue: Sandman Vol. 7: Brief Lives (New Edition) won't load onto my Kindle app for my iPad, nor the Kindle app for OS X. I get a "The item is not compatible with this device error." Amazon tech support had me uninstall and reinstall the Kindle app on my iPad and it didn't help.
Other Sandman volumes have downloaded just fine.
They already have an open ticket on this issue. Also, they gave me $20 credit, which is twice what I paid for the book, so I guess I can't complain too much.

Oof. Apple servers must be slammed today. I'm unable to install software updates on my Mac laptops (the server keeps resetting the connections).
Maybe I'll install Mountain Lion some other day.
eta: Never mind. Our stupid WiFi was down. Just had to restart it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Question for the hivemind from technological semi-literate:
On Tuesday, my iPad got wet and stopped working. (iPad on counter, cat knocked it into sink, faucet dripping -- you get the idea) I've been letting it sit to dry out, but it still isn't working.
So, really, two questions -- Should I be doing something else to dry out the iPad? When should I give up and replace the iPad?
