Hold down the Option key while launching iTunes and it should let you choose a different library.

This is what I did. Honestly, ten times or so. I think my 'updated' copy of itunes is just corrupted or something.

I just wish I'd figured that out before losing so much.

I thought my USB was tits up (still need to look up that etymology)

Huh. That's interesting, omnis. Thanks. I hadn't thought of belly up in company with tits up, but I also hadn't thought belly up was restricted to piscine imagery--that's the standard cartoon dead, right? All four legs in the air and crosses for eyes, tongue sticking out at the corner of the mouth? Cross-species supine.

Tits up, pear-shaped, fubar--all nice and expressive.

(I'm now realising that fubar and foobar sound the same, but have kinda unrelated meanings. Huh.)

Now that I'm mapping to the NAS on bootup, the USB drives don't have any disconnected drive letters to purloin so they're scooting down the alphabet. However, I think I need to transition to mount points instead. The computer is sitting on four drive letters for all of the SD card slots on top of the four drive partitions, DVD drive, non-existent floppy (like, will we never use A&B again?).

We had a project that was actually named FOOBAR. Until we had to take it to the mission office, and then it got an official scrubbed name. Kept the BAR part.

FUBAR goes back to WWII, I believe, and it's F&%ked Up Beyond All Recognition. Related to SNAFU, which is Situation Normal, All F&%ked Up. Gotta love the military. they love their acronymns.

Is anyone here familiar with Google webmaster tools? It keeps sending me an email telling me that [link] is inaccessible, which it should be, because it's a malformed URL. But I can't work out where I need to go to delete that annoying (and initially hard to detect) colon.

Hey y'all. Just tried to update my iphone 4 to ios6 via iTunes - I figured it had been long enough that bugs should have been resolved. Well, it's bricked my phone. Tried a hard reboot, tried to restore on my computer and on D's, and it won't restore. Anything else I should try before visiting the Apple store?

ita, to answer your problem from earlier, yes I had the same problem with large numbers of files in a commond directory on that NAS. It is appentaly a know flaw with them. I use it as a scratch drive when I'm handbraking things before I move them to my actual library volume. When I had everything in one common directory it could take minutes for directories to popluate. When I broke things down by season and movie, then the speed picked right up.

smonster,

gah. some suggestions here including a free program to download. I make no claims about any of the suggestions.
