Default Re: What is Bittorent and Logmein?

Well forget the torrent stuff, I don't need to do any illegal stuff, not to mention I worry those sites would have viruses or other yucky stuff.

I actually used Logmein so a friend could help me get songs from my PC onto my ipad. Well that went (as Charlie would say, "tits up"). Not sure what went wrong but ended up trying to do some windows update? on the ipad, which locked it up. I was on itunes and it then said it wanted to "Restore" my ipad to its default settings to fix the problem. Well I clicked that restore button a zillion times, and each time, after waiting for it to restore for 20 minutes, it just errored out (Error 2003, which was apparently an "unknown error"). I then searched my problem on the net and it said I could reset the ipad by holding the two power buttons down at the same time for 15 seconds, then plug it in, but that didn't work. My ipad was stuck on an itunes icon with a plug picture. I couldn't do a thing with it, including even seeing if it needed a recharge.

So I had to go to the Apple store. There are only two nearby and everyone and their mother was there (which is always the case no matter the day or time). Then their computers went down for 30 minutes, so I was there for about 2 hours. They have a "Genius Bar" which is where the people are who help you LOL. My Genius ended up doing the same dang thing I tried, but on a Mac laptop. Weird, but it fixed it.

I don't dare try to plug my ipad on my PC again now LOL. Not sure what the problem was (windows is all updated on the PC, even turned Norton off). I can't help but wonder though if Vista may be the culprit, cause I've had trouble with itunes on that PC before (even had to reinstall itunes because it randomly got "corrupted" once, and sometimes when I click on my itunes icon, nothing happens and I have to manually load it in Google).

Timber, how to you use Logmein to get on your work PC computer without somebody on the other end allowing you? Just curious.
