Or rather technology makes me fussy when it doesn't work how I want it to! So I recently got an iphone. It's an iphone 3 and I got it used from my sister. Nothing too exciting. But I didn't have to pay for it! I haven't really done anything too fancy on it. Not even uploaded my music. I have an ipod. It works just fine for music. Well at least it did. Yesterday I got my ipod out of my purse to upload some recent itunes purchases. When I pulled it out of my purse I discovered that it was starting to come apart a little around the the top. You know? Where the white face meets the silver back. So I tried to push it back together hoping it would just click in place. It clicked alright. Or should I say cracked? My video ipod (that I have had for like 5 years) now has a rainbow swirly all over the screen. I would take a picture to show you but it's in the back room where Brian is playing WOW and I was already fussy with him due to my technology frustrations so I'm just gonna let him be.
Anyway. Since my ipod is temporarily crapped out(I say temporarily because Brian says it will still work we just need to buy a new screen) I decided now would be a good time to put music on my iphone. Easier said than done.
A couple of years ago when I got a new laptop I had to transfer my itunes library to my new computer, and things did not exactly work out. There were a few songs and playlists that did not make the switch. For whatever reason ( I think it was because they were songs my sister had burned for me which she probably downloaded from napster or something sketch like that) these few songs will not play on my new laptop. It says that itunes can't find the file. So the only place I can listen to them is on my ipod. Which is now broken. Still following? Since the songs are not in my itunes library anymore I can not upload them on my iphone. Not only can I not upload those few songs, I can't upload my whole library because it's too big. My video ipod has plenty of room. iphone is too small.
What's a girl to do? Well my hero, geeky, boyfriend Brian showed up just in time yesterday to come to my aid. He was able to plug my ipod into his computer and put my music on our external hard drive. Awesome, right? So today I was able to put the "lost stuff" back into my itunes. However, when I tried to upload the "lost stuff" playlist onto my iphone things got complicated. The playlist would not show up, but some of my songs did. Several are not on there. Brian tried to help explain to me how to go about synching your music with your iphone, but none of it made sense and I got fussy. I mean real fussy. Why does apple have to make it so complicated?!? I just want the music I want on my iphone! Or my ipod to be fixed. Whichever comes first.
I still don't have every thing I want on my iphone. I gave up. I figured good enough for listening to on our road trip next weekend, plane trip in 2 weeks, and on vacation. Who knows, maybe I can have a new screen by then.
It's times like this that make me miss CD's and my Disc- man. Or even cassette tapes! At least I could touch my music and knew where it was! Not just floating around in cyberspace.....I think I need a snack and to go to bed...:o/
