Okay, so I got my new PC, but I couldn't get the damned sound to work. I thought that perhaps my speakers from my old PC were incompatible with the new system and I have me mah iTunes and I do love me some music.

My PC was also down almost two weeks.

In short, I was jonesin' for some tunes.

So I just got off the phone with tech support who said the same thing - that the speakers were incompatible with the new system. After resigning myself to having to fork over the better part of 600 bucks to buy a new system up to snuff for my standards, I thought I should give it one last try and started randomly plugging the speakers in wherever they fit.

Kind of like a Catholic girl at prom, but I digress.

In any case, I managed to hit pay-dirt and I got the speakers to work!

This is the part where you go, "WOOT!"

Anyway, so I fired these suckers up and man oh man... The quality is twice as good on the new PC and the sound is twice as loud. I seriously went next door to the neighbors to make sure I wasn't bothering them for the first time ever!

Anyway, I'm totally thrilled and completely stoked, and I finally got me some tunes going again. I'll be jammin' out to some Bruce Hornsby, Kansas, Billy Joel, and a myriad of others for about the next two months non-stop to get over the absence of it.

Holy crap, this is :phenomenal:



Oh, wait. I had a point...

So when I got my iTunes reinstalled once I got the speakers working, it asked me if I wanted to authorize the tunes on this PC. I said yes. It then said, "You have now authorized this music on two PCs out of 5 possible."

Well... It stands to figure that the other PC I authorized these songs on was my old one.

How do I de-authorize the old one since I won't be needing it any more?

Can't. Read it as this: "You have activated this shit 2 out of 5 allowed times. Once you pass 5, you're SOL."

Bullshit. I paid for the tunes. They're mine.

If they didn't work the first time did you go into and fix the Dolby Digital sound or whatever it is but maybe those speakers didn't like to have sex with new PCs and they got jealous and stopped working.

No, he's right, you can't. The nazis over at apple seem to think they can put whatever restrictions they want on their software: Authorization, no uploading, locking up every fucking thing that touches iTunes. You have to be careful with that shit, man, or you might end up losing everything. Of course, there are various third-party softwares available to 'reftify' this issue, though, of course it voids your warranty.

It's to prevent copying it to all your friends and shit. MS FSX does the same thing.
