So, yeah, yeah, today was nice and all. I mean, I had a blast in English and I went over to my best friend's house and I got invited to go to a movie night tomorrow, but what is happening right now negates everything fun or good today. That's right: it ruined my day. Here's what happened.
I logged on to my computer and proceeded to check all of the normal websites: DeviantArt, Facebook, YouTube, Blogger, Formspring. You know, all the usual suspects. Then I decided to download some new music that I had heard about from a vlog I watch. So, after the torrent had completed downloading, I attempted to open iTunes. Nothing. And I mean nothing. No music, no videos, no pictures, nothing. This is about the time when I started freaking out. I yelled to my mom and explained to her about my situation. At this point, she got all offended because she was under the impression that I was somehow blaming her (since she had done some things on my laptop last weekend), when, really, I was just prepared to yell at anyone in my vicinity. This was when my dad came home from work, naturally. So, of course, I had to explain everything to him, while in a bad mood and upset at the prospect of never being able to access my music again.
So, now is the part in the story, where I relate my trials and tribulations of how I attempted to restore my library. First, I did the logical thing and looked for it in the Recycle Bin. Nope. So, I Googled how to copy music from an iPod to iTunes. This is impossible to do while iTunes is still open, because, all it does is offer to sync the iPod, which would merely wipe it clean. So, what I had to do was quickly say no when the sync option popped up and immediately close iTunes. My iPod would then become and "external drive". Then, I had to copy all my files from the iPod onto the computer which, seeing as I had a fair amount of files on my iPod, took a reasonable amount of time. Then, I had to open iTunes and attempt to put those files into the library. Here's the problem, though. ITunes wouldn't open. Here's when I started to get really mad. I ended up having to reinstall iTunes, causing the computer to restart, further wasting my time. After the computer finally finished doing whatever the hell it was doing, I opened iTunes. Then, I tried to open the folder again. Nothing. I checked other suggestions online and tried them all. Nothing worked.
All that happened is that I now have excessive amounts of copies of folders with nonsensical names from my iPod and a headache. I still haven't fixed the problem and have basically given up. I guess I'll just have to never ever update my iPod ever again. Or I'll have to re-download and re-uploaod every music I'd ever had. And, trust me, that would take a long time and a lot of effort. And, frankly, I probably will just end up doing just that one day, since I have no life and I already spend exorbitant amounts of time on my computer, usually online or organizing my iTunes. Sometimes, I really hate technology.
No picture today. Deal with it.
