Note: You're not authorizing the computer with Apple, you're authorizing this computer to play Fairplay DRM'ed music and videos linked to your iTunes account. If you don't have any stuff from the iTunes store, you don't need to to do this. Start iTunes on the old computer. Under the 'Store' menu select 'De- authorize Computer', you'll be prompted to enter your iTunes store login. Shut everything down, transfer the drives. Start iTunes on the New computer and now, under the Store menu, select Authorize computer. Again, you'll be prompted to enter the iTunes login. All done. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
