Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."
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!
I have no idea what to do other than suggest a visit to the Applestore with the iMac and nano and cable in hand. It may just be that the iMac is too outmoded for these newfangled devices. :-(
You could try creating a new user account on the computer, and see if iTunes works better with that one.
So when is that thing happening that is happening today?
Hey, wait a minute. Why is my credit card burning hot this morning?
I tried to backup my iTunes last night and it said the file was too big for a CD and to put in a DVD. Well, I only have a CD-R drive... How the heck to I back up my stuff?
That's odd. What version is it?
I know iTunes 7 is supposed to ask for another CD. I don't know abut earlier versions.
You could use a standard CD burner program, like Nero or some such to span disks and just back up your library folder.
So, if I buy a used Tivo - I just get the machine and it will still work w/o the subscription to the tivo service, right?
I'll have to check the version when I get home. I think I am one update behind.
There's very little you can do with a Tivo without the subscription. I think you can still use the instant replay - i.e., pause things and jump back for missed dialogue - but you can't record anything. (Vauge memories from trying to do this a few years ago for some reason or other).
