@#$$#&*%$ Apple Software.. *smash head into wall*
*sigh* waaaahhhhhh....
God damn Apple Software. After many months of believing that my shiny new laptop which should certainly be a very good computer was simply incapable of playing nicely with my digital camera- as every time I downloaded the camera to the laptop the videos would become solidly stuck at least 90% of the time, no renaming, moving, or deleting allowed- I finally discovered an internet forum revealing that simply having QuickTime installed on the laptop was causing the video freeze. Removing it solved all my problems, and my videos were now free to be moved, named, and deleted at will.
Today is apparently the first day I have tried to work with my iTunes program since then. Turns out iTunes will not work without QuickTime installed, though I can't imagine why they would do this to people. I don't need QuickTime, I use iTunes for music. I use VLC for video. I just want my music files, goddamn it.
So iTunes will not open at all with QuickTime gone, but QuickTime is the devil. And thus, Apple plots to fuck over my laptop. Bastards.
