Moving my iTunes library is taking forever!

Still loving my new purple puter, and setting just about everything up has gone quite smoothly.  iTunes, though, has proven a bit daunting!

First, hubby needed the charger to the old laptop and took it to work, which was fine, but I had forgotten and then tried to start transferring the library.  The old laptop died about a quarter of the way through the transfer.  None of it stuck.  Not a big problem, just figured I'd work on it in the morning.

So this morning I was able to plug in the old laptop with the charger and started transferring the music.  it took a while, but it all transferred.  Wait, where are all the apps?  How in the world do I transfer all the apps?  After about 30 minutes of researching, I found out that if you right click on the iphone icon in itunes while it's plugged it, it gives you the option to transfer all purchases.  Well I wish I had known that last night!

Anyhoo, all the apps downloaded, but of course none of them are organized at all in my neat little folders I made.  So after lots of dragging and dropping and reorganizing, I finally got it all organized again.

I must say, I was a little apprehensive to sync again, but this time everything went well!

Total time to switch everything over?  5.5 hours

I got my phone back

That's right! What are the chances of getting an iPhone back! Well apparently after my lovely husband sent a text to the phone stating he reported it stolen and was going to track it down she thought twice. She started trying to call people in my contact list to say she had the phone and wanted to give it to me.

Her unlikely story was that she didn't want to give it to security at the museum because she didn't trust them. Uh huh.

Anyway, we met up with her tonight and she gave me my phone back. I don't really know for sure what her reasoning was, but all I know is I'm now not out $200 to replace the phone! Whew.

Attn B1t@h who stole my iPhone at @DenverMuseumNS #thief #iphone #icurseyou

Is your life really that pathetic that you had to steal my iPhone?  Really?  10 minutes.  That's all it took.  My Annie was being a big girl, using the potty, and I forgot I set it down in all the commotion of trying to potty train her, showing her proper hygiene, washing her hands.  I ran back to the restroom, but you had already been there and stolen it.

While I am teaching my children to grow up with morals, care about other people, and have respect for property, you are out there teaching them a lesson, too.  Shame on you!!!!  What are you going to do with it?  Sell it for a few bucks on ebay?  Well save the money, because I'm sure that some day you'll need it for bail money, you loser!

And I'm putting a mother's curse on you!  That's right, I may not be your mother (and you're lucky I'm not because I would BEAT YOUR ASS for stealing) but I'm putting the curse on you!  You may have caused me a minor irritation of having to replace my phone, but one day you will look back on everything you've done in your life and you'll remember me and that day at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and you will feel regret.  Yes, it is just a phone, but you will feel bad about your behavior and your lack of morals.  You will be ashamed of your actions, and rightly so.

So go sell the phone on ebay or look through all of my personal information, texts with my husband, whatever it is you feel the need to do because you are pathetic.  Go ahead.  Remember, what comes around goes around.

Oh, and if you do end up with a conscience and decide to do the right thing, drop it off at the Commerce City Police Department, where my husband IS A COP and is tracking the phone anyway!  ;)

I found another reason to never put my phone down

So I was checking out different ereaders and wow they are expensive! I just couldn't justify spending so much money. The books may be cheaper and i'm sure it's easier to carry an ereader around in my purse than another bag, but it's still a lot of money up front.

But while I was checking out the differences between them, I came across the barnes and noble ereader iPhone app! And it's FREE! I now have access to all the ebooks b&n offers and every book I purchase is stored on my online account. I can also now download their free app for my computer so I can continue to read on my computer if I want.

However! I love to go to book stores and I really love the new library built in my town. It has a large room for he kids to play and a huge fireplace to read in front of. I just hope I don't look to silly surrounded by beautiful books while I read on my iPhone!
