Apple’s Makin Me Angry, Help Comes to the Rescue!

Ok, so I’ve been a little frustrated with the new iTunes. I’ve actually reverted back to the previous version. It took some hunting to actually find the old installer. I decided to help others out who also wanted to go back to 4.9 and I posted the instructions that worked for me along with a link to the file I’ve got hosted on my website. Well the powers that be overseeing the Apple discussions sent me a notification that my post had been removed. Then I reposted and it was quitely removed without any notification. What irritates me is that there was no clear reason why it was removed. Well I posted a third time and didn’t include the link to my download site. Not that I’m certain this was why my post was removed. Well I had a good number of people requesting the download link. And I ended up getting on Skype and helped some Canadian woman get her iTunes 4.9 back and running. She’s an artist and sent me a copy of one of her works as a thank you. I was happy to help. I hope that Apple gets this iTunes issue fixed within the next week. As others have pointed out, this is going to go down as one of the huge software blunders for Apple. I sure hope they learn from this mistake. This is the first problem I’ve had with a piece of Apple software. How disappointing.

Well, to recap last night. I had a fun time at Kari’s. It was fun to see some people I haven’t seen in awhile and to meet some new people. Kari’s working to make some salsa but is trying to decide what recipe to use. She had three different kinds out. They were all good. My favorite was probably the one that had all the chunks in it. Personally I like hotter salsa, but it’s her salsa, and not everyone likes the level of hot that I do. We played some Catch Phrase, Mad Gab, and another game that no one really new the actual name for. Basically everyone writes 5 words down in a list. You generally do 3 lists each, but we only did 2 each. Then you put all the lists in a bowl and everyone picks a partner across from them in the circle. The object is to get your partner to guess the 5 words and then recite them back without prompting within 45 seconds. It was pretty fun. I was partners with Maredith and we didn’t do so well. I really don’t know anything about her. She came in as we were playing games so I didn’t really talk to her. I ended up leaving around 10:30-11:00 I think.

Well, I’m a bumb, other than helping that Canadian with a computer problem, I didn’t do anything today. Saturdays get to be my lazy day. I know there are a lot of things I could be doing, oh well. I’ve been in a real anti-social mode for awhile. I guess I can’t be accused of not talking with anyone when you see what I get into on this blog. Well church tomorrow, I’m going to be sure to make it to the fellowship & gathering time before second service. I hope there might be a group for my age that I can go to this year. Well that’s all for now, chow!

    Computer Upgrades on Order…

    Well today I bit the bullet and ordered some upgrades for my laptop. I’m getting a 1GB stick of RAM & a 100GB hard drive. Home Missions is going to buy the 512MB stick of memory that is currently in my laptop. I figured that I best do this now while I have the money, and a way to sell the 512MB stick. With having the digital camera now and getting more website jobs I need the storage space too, I’ve only got like 6GB free right now. So sometime next week I should have everything in the machine. Well, back to work I go.

    Hoping to Get Back in The Groove…

    Something that came up at our Life Shapes meeting this morning, was the subject of mission. This is something that I’ve been sort of struggling with, in that I’m trying to determine what my mission should be. I think this brings me back to the Purpose Driven Life. I have felt, for a long time, that my heart is for youth. This has been what has drawn me to my years working at Inspiration Point, and my current involvement with the Bethel youth. I’m not sure how the Missional Community of Faith and my heart for youth might be tied together. This is something that I’ll be looking for God’s direction in, as is life in general. Well, this is just s short post. Let’s…

    Is God Patient?

    (Exodus 4:10-18) Interesting question, it would seem that in this passage in Exodus, that Moses wore out God’s patience. It clearly describes that God became angery with Moses when he refused to follow what God was calling him to. This doesn’t mean that God is completely impatient, however it does go to show that He will work with us for a time and perhaps arrange something entirely different to get us moving. We are stuborn people, if God simply waited on us none of His plans would come to pass I suspect. Are we choosing to live in a manner that continues to try God’s patience, or are we desiring to please Him with how we live our lives? I would hope and pray that…

    When The Well Runs Dry…

    That title actually has a couple of meaning this morning. As I drove myself to work this morning it kind of hit how spiritually dry I feel today. This comes from the lack of reading and morning quite time I’ve had for most of the week. Oh how I long for those days of having a couple hours before I head off to work to enjoy the morning and spend some time in the word. And to the times I had to read a chapter in a good book before I drifted off to sleep. These are things I’m really hoping to get back in my routine. It’s basically come to light that I am a total creature of habit/routine. Once I can get into…

    When God Straightens Us Out, We Find Joy

    Well, I finaly made it up early today, and I had my time with God. What an incredible difference that makes. I feel like I got a lot accomplished today at work. I still have a pretty busy work day tomorrow but God has shown me the light. Tonight I was able to get yet another project completed. It looks like by next weeks end I should finally have my head above the water. I’m so thankful for the prayers and support I’ve gotten from people. It just came to mind that I’ve experienced a kairos moment. So in light of the learning circle it would seem I have done a bit of observation, reflection, & discussion on this moment. In order to complete the…

  1. Alex, there have been a lot of problems with iTunes 5. I’ve had probably like 20 requests for the 4.9 installer as Apple has removed it from their site. Check out the Apple Discussions. These problems may be more with the Mac version. It may also be with people that subscribe to Podcasts more so too.
