    iTunes Music Authorization

    Well, I'm going with the idea that I'm stuck with the DRM versions of these songs, and that's fine. I am able to play them all, so that's good enough for me right now. And since I'll eventually convert all my music to MP3 format anyway, I won't have to deal with this issue in the future. I...

    iTunes Music Authorization

    Howdy, When Apple created the iTunes Music Store I jumped on the bandwagon and used my G4 Quicksilver, running OS x 10.4, to purchase many songs. Unfortunately, due to the latest iTunes (version 12) not being able to run on my G4 I am now at a loss as to figuring out how to re-authorize my...

    Terrible Advice from the Mac Plus Manual!

    Nice! I wish more software manuals were written like that today. It might make the letters RTFM a thing of the past. ;)
