Haalp!

Holy Crap, I don't know if I will ever master this, but I will try! 

F-in Windows

I am currently running Windows XP-service pack 3 on a 2006 iMac(4) Pretty funny how well that crappy OS runs on a Mac's Boot Camp but yet when you use a Dell-HP-Whatever- It crashes often. Man am I a nerd.

More Nerd Stuff...not much else going on

New Apple TV for the smart guys to play with

Spooky

Now, with the lights on, poor PC, took a dive in the Trojan pond

Not the official Blue-Screen-O-Death, but a Pre-Cursor

Hell Yea

El Nino

Yea, it's getting freaky. October 10th, 2010. (10/10/10- or if you are in the UK, it's 10/10/10. Or if you are Steve Jobs, it's X/X/X)It's 83d now, When I leave for work on Friday AM, it's possibly 42d. Freaky. $5 says its snows before October ends. 

Mac Crash!

I.....never thought it would happen to me....(dumb commercial reference, tack it up to an inside joke to myself) So I plugged in my iPhone to charge, dock, update-etc. As soon as I did, the iTunes program shut down. When I tried to reopen, it lights up, and shuts down again. Since I realized it was a problem, my first thought was a software update I was unaware of at this point(This is highly unlikely, I am only anal-rententive about 1 thing- having the latest updates) Then I tried the Disk Utility options, verify-repair-etc. Nothing. So I go to Time Machine Back-ups, drag a version from 3 weeks ago. Nothing. I gave up, posted a note on Macworld Forums.  When I awoke, one of the west coasters posted it was an obvious plist file corruption.
I find the itunes plist files. Removed them (At work, away from my Time Machine drive) restart the program, and the license agreement window pops up. At this point, I assume it's ok so I cancel until I get home to use Time Machine. Well, when I tried the older version, (assuming it was a plist file) it does the same thing. I even downloaded a new version from apple. Nothing. After looking thru Apples support pages I think it may be a third party plug in. I delete all of three I had running-nothing.
My last ditch effort was to open the program in safe mode (Holding option command while opening) HEY! It opened. So I begin the task of looking thru the program, as soon as I clicked on the preferences, it crashes. This time, it gives me a crash report

After an hour of searching for the file mentioned, I find it, drag it to the desktop, and fix the issue! This is probably no big deal to a seasoned machead, but I am less than a year with Snow Leopard, and 2 years with Tiger before. Go Me.
