Guest JohnTqs Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 my eMac. it was like a second computer though, so i had nothing important. i used it mainly for listening to music and going on the internet. i have all my mp3's on an external hard drive so i didn't lose any. today i had to move all those onto my pc, but my pc wouldn't recognize the external hard drive...so i put all my music on my brothers mac, and then formated the ehd. i have a 1g thumbdrive that can work on mac and pc, i had to use it to transfer mp3's between the mac and pc, 1g at a time. took about 5 hours. i haven't opened itunes yet because i want to find a way to keep all the play counts and ratings of songs i had on my mac... i only had this mac for half a year, won't be buying another.

autopilot Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 You should open iTunes, and then close your eyes and move your finger around, then poke the screen, then open your eyes, then listen to that song.

Siegecow Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 your track ratings and playcounts are completely gone unless you also saved the itunes library file that wouldve been in your itunes music directory. I have lost many many playlists and ratings this way, and its damn frustrating.

The point is to get the seeming randomness of your picking the song, but letting the universe guide your choice. It's called Synchronicity and it was invented by Buddha and Carl Jung and later perfected by the band Sting And The Policeman.

Guest Idrn Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 mine is a brand new macbook pro. i rang them up was told to wait 5 days for a new one in the post (and then post back the faulty one to them) or book an appointment at the store. i explained that ive broken both my heels and cant really walk, and that consequently im working from home. ive also got deadlines for monday and am working over the weekend so need a new one as soon as possible. my only option was to book a 'genius bar' appointment for tomorrow at 3pm. im going to have to get a taxi to the door of a shopping mall, and hobble to the macstore on crutches. its going to make them look so good when a 'cripple' painfully hobbles in because its the only way he can get a replacement for a burnt and melted power adaptor from a 3 month old top of the line macbook.

takeshi Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I think it's about time to replace my mac. I tried burning a cd the other day and the computer spits the cd out after a few minutes and ssays something about a problem "calibrating the laser power level for this media". I tried the Apple messageboards and their "geniuses" seemed to have either ignored this problem (I'm far from the only one with this problem) or they can't fix it.
