I've named my iPhone Capt. Jack.
Yeah, I have my Tivo rigged so that I can pull all my stuff off of it and it gets transcoded for iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV.
how did you do that?
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm almost there, but now my main PC isn't talking to the Apple TV. Not an urgent issue, since Lilith grabbed all of Zoe's content back when they were on speaking terms, but it does bother me.
I don't have a Devices section in that left hand pane of iTunes, and when I go to the Apple TV tab of preferences, it doesn't list it.
However the laptop (OS X) sees it fine, after not having been able to. I wonder if it's a wired/wireless thing...but that doesn't make sense.
I need to get a switch for the living room and was wondering--what non-Apple products duplicate the Airport's ability to share an external hard drive?

well, of course.
I decided on Capt. Jack because it's sleek, sexy, makes me happy and fulfills my needs. Just like Capt. Jack would. *sigh*

Is Laura in this thread? She and her colleagues might get a kick out of this:[link]
Umm, this is fiction, right?

Can't help on this one, I'm using the Apple product there too, and it works really well.

I doubt it. Fact stranger than fiction out there. It makes it very difficult to come in after a disaster because the client is on the defensive and assumes all things computer are going to destroy their business and life.
I'm a bad nerd. I have so many toys that I haven't taken the time to learn how to use. Need a time generating gadget.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have 2 questions-
1- where can I go to learn how to "rip" or whatever you do to DVD's to put them on your computer
2- is it legal/ethical to put DVD's on your computer for the purposes of putting them on your i-pod (not sharing them), or should I be buying separate itunes versions?

Legally it's a gray area, but ethically it's COMPLETELY within the bounds of fair use, even if you have to break copy protection to do it.
If you're a Mac user, I recommend Handbrake for ripping DVDs because you can rip them directly into iPod format instead of fiddling about with VOB files. I'm sure there's a Windows product that does the same thing (or maybe even a Windows version of Handbrake?)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm pretty sure there is a Windows Handbrake now -- and I second the recommendation.
