Bought a new laptop today. I'm still obviously getting used to a new operating system, a larger keyboard and nothing on it ( Read more... )

rambling, personal

I could help you if you had a Mac. But there must be a PC equivalent of a program I have for my Mac called "iPod Rip" that copies your music from your iPod onto your computer (playlists as well). That's the only way I know to transfer the music with the playlists.

While you've gone bigger, I've gone smaller. I replaced my laptop with a netbook - and this time, not a Mac. This one is a little Linux box that is also a touchscreen tablet. the keyboard and screen have separate batteries and can be taken apart.

I'll keep that in mind about Best Buy. Never tried to buy anything there.

(Damn, we're GEEEKS!!!)

I think there is a program. Or at least a cable but i sort of wanted to be cheap and not spend any money on it at all.

I tried out a netbook but it's just too small for me. I like to watch movies and shit on my laptop and you just can't do that enjoyably on a netbook. I'm very jealous of the touchscreen, though. I do love me some touchscreen action.

I'm just really annoyed about the Best Buy thing. So IDK about purchasing from them in the future.

<3 we really are :D

Yah, that geek squad is beyond useless. They're just a joke. I paid 40 bucks for them to clean my computer and they totally said they did except I opened up one of hte areas they supposedly cleaned and it was filthy.

LMFAO! I knew you would get the names! I'm just so happy to have found another kickass cool ship to name my laptop after. My cellphone is T3-M4 :D

Hee! I like your naming theme. Mine is mythology - my pc started as pandora because when you open the box you let all the bad things escape, and my laptop is Hyacinth (she insisted on it). My iPhone started out as Effy but that quickly became Iphigenia. I find the smaller the piece of technology, the more unwieldy of a name I like to give it.

My suggestion for your music is to get an external hard drive to serve as the go-between.... it's better for backing up purposes anyway. When you open iTunes, go to preferences, and advanced, and just change the file path where your music gets organized. It'll ask you if you want to apply this change to your entire music library, and if you say yes, it'll apply that filepath to all your music, and you'll be all set.

This is assuming you don't just transfer it all over and then add it to your library anyway, ha.

I have an external so I'll just have to try it!

I'm just really not wanting to lose the playlists. They're freaking hard to resetup and I really do not want to have to do that.

Happy belated, btw!

Woah! Customer Service FAIL!!! That's amazingly bad :(

But yay for the new laptop regardless :)

Definitely! The new laptop continues to be shiny but the mouse touchpad is annoying the crap out of me. However, I'm liking a lot of the features and the keyboard is a dream.
