[beats me]

Because I told him many times to pony up the $25 a year for Match which would have completely solved this problem.

this form of extortion reminds me of the Post Office. "did you have insurance?"



i'm guessing that the music is all still there... it's just not showing up in iTunes because the .xml file that points to all the music got overwritten. in other words... iTunes card catalog of his library got broken.

the dig you make about Windows (in this case)... is completely unwarranted... Windows does not have the Apple iBitch method of keeping track of your music. It has two kinds of scenarios:

Scenario 1: All the files/file types that Windows Media Player can play
Scenario 2: All the file types that Windows Media Player can't play

the rest is up to your hard drive. if it doesn't fail your music remains. no rules, no "Authorize this" computer. just drag, drop, play, done.

the music library is so much easier in Windows... sorry beats but it just is... if you want to get into the cloud backup solutions and all that... well, okay... but think about what you're saying. you have to spend 25 dollars a year to ensure your OS doesn't fuck your music up.

iTunes only makes buying music easier... not organizing it.

Windows method isn’t easier, maybe if you are a control freak and can’t stand your OS organizing it in a way that makes the most sense. I drop any song into iTunes and it automatically puts the song in iTunes/music/artist/album/[song name]. It creates the folder structure if it isn’t already there. I know exactly where to find song files if I need to.

I realize some people have some other preference like they want to put them in folders based on genre, or BPM, or “blue” or whatever. I personally don’t need anything like that. I can tag songs whatever genre and BPM I want to in iTunes tagging. If I want to group together songs for DJing or whatever I just create playlists. Simple. iTunes playlists also load in Traktor. What does Microsoft have on that front?

The point of Match isn’t just backup. You can also stream or download any track you have in the cloud to any computer or idevice tied to your Apple ID, no need for your music to take up drive space. Google, Amazon, and I assume Microsoft offer similar services which obviously means this isn’t just a gimmick offered by Apple.

However, what my friend is telling me is he had folders on the desktop holding songs based on his criteria and those folders completely disappeared. I’m thinking with a Time Machine backup on an external drive he should be able to pull them from there but I have no idea how that works.

It’s annoying when Apple offers plenty of easy backup options and a person just can’t be bothered with any of it, even after experiencing multiple issues.

Amen, Time Machine is so damn simple to use. You literally can't make it any easier for people.

So after 3 days of my roommate being frustrated that he couldn’t get his iPod to sync to iTunes after he upgraded to Mavericks he asked me to take a look at it. I clicked on his iPod icon in iTunes, selected the music tab, selected the “sync music library” box, and fixed.

I guess sometimes its hard to try the obvious.

Looks like the iPad Air will have a noticeable performance increase over my iPad 3.




Like over 5 times better.

Have you tried the Paper app? It’s a popular drawing/painting app.

The iPad 2 must be a workhorse because Apple is going to continue to sell it and not the 3 or 4. I wonder what Apple is planning to do with their stockpile of iPad 4s because as of last week’s announcement you can longer buy it. It’s not like they sold out.

So since Ashton Kutcher played Steve Jobs in a movie Lenovo thinks that qualifies him as a product engineer. I SHIT YOU NOT.

last night i went to the Apple store and made my first purchase at one ever.


i'm so ashamed...


and broke.

[regretfullySaid]

They should at least take out engineer in his title, which is pretty insulting to engineers; change it to Specialist something. Desperate move for product endorsement? Badly executed. He may be tech savvy, but Engineer is too much.

Last time I had to replace my sync cable it took me 6 months of moving back in with my parents to financially recover.

What just added 3 years to your retirement age?

I haven’t seen any stories of people camping outside Apple stores for the release of the iPad Air and all reports state there will be plenty in stock at both Apple stores and third party retailers. Regardless, I’ll still be online tonight at midnight ordering mine. I'll be getting the big guns 128G drive LTE version. I assume there won't be a shortage of those as it is the most expensive.

[beats me]

Apple makes nearly $2,250 per employee annually. They are the top of the tech company list. The number 10 company is IBM and they make about $0.25 per employee. That’s right. IBM makes 25 cents per employee each year. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook aren’t even in the top 10. Their employees don’t even make them enough money to buy one gumball a year.

I’m sure that news will make Apple’s stock drop yet again. Ass backwards Wall St. assholes.

[Angstrom]

And just think of the emotional stock invested!

It's like ponies, but for bald men.
