The only problem with lower end Mac s...@The League<br /><br />The only problem with lower end Mac solutions is that they too have small hard drives so it is hard to get all you media on the device. That is what I find with my Mac Mini at home. Moving my iTunes library worked great up until the NAS crashed. I have to get a new solution after the holidays.Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-90796239543078187492012-12-18T11:07:28.526-06:002012-12-18T11:07:28.526-06:00I am really struggling with the iTunes quandry. I...I am really struggling with the iTunes quandry. Its really the only thing I can't resolve, so I'm hoping spending some time with Match and iCloud over the holidays will give me a magic solution I'm not thinking of quite yet, but... as I say, these guys aren't playing well together. It's going to be a complete bastard getting this sorted and 2003 me is looking at 2012 me and saying "SEEEEEEE! I TOLD YOU!" <br /><br />This is going to end poorly.<br /><br />I may be looking at lower end Mac solutions for Jamie as my own experience is making me nervous, and she is a heavy iTunes user.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-65397625518517037412012-12-17T22:00:05.934-06:002012-12-17T22:00:05.934-06:00@The League

They can't and probably will never be able to run iTunes.<br /><br />As for your iTunes problem, any music, video's, etc. you purchased through iTunes should show up on your new device with that little cloud next to it. Other media like ripped CD's or DRM free downloads you've imported into iTunes will not show up. You could probably set up home sharing to move the files over easily but then you'll start running out of hard drive space. As you guessed running iTunes off of an external hard drive can be a pain.<br /><br />It sounds like you are pretty sold on Windows which is cool plus it looks like you work is well integrated with MS Office which is a big deal as well. <br /><br />Although, if someone tried to pry this MacBook Pro away from me it would get messy.Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-24273777735303729022012-12-17T16:18:43.910-06:002012-12-17T16:18:43.910-06:00Well, the idea is that my tiles in Windows on my Y...Well, the idea is that my tiles in Windows on my Yoga and my phone will be the same. If Android can do that for me, its worth looking at.<br /><br />Like I said, they're clearly drawing lines between platforms and it's all about "your stuff" living primarily in the cloud. I think they'll figure out how to play well together again in a few years, but for right now, it seems there are short walls built between platforms for users who don't feel like performing stunts to make it all work together.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-15011685365516310382012-12-17T11:14:01.213-06:002012-12-17T11:14:01.213-06:00You'll have to do another blog post explanatio...You'll have to do another blog post explanation your reason to use a Win8Pho instead of Android.RHPThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617999946778955502noreply@blogger.com
