More fun with Time Machine....

So I'm finding a few odd ball things that the TM restore caused me. The first one is the most annoying. So I have an AppleTV set to sync with my iMac. And I have several GB of purchased music, movies and TV shows synced from the iMac to the ATV. Well, when you restore your time machine settings, the iTunes authorization is lost. And iTunes doesn't ask/warn you about that until you try to play a protected track. So I launch iTunes, it dutifully syncs the ATV, but the computer isn't authorized so it proceeds to remove those items from the ATV. AAAAAARG! It takes for ever to sync that many files of that size to the ATV. And due to some flakiness in ATV syncing, movies rarely sync on the first try. (I'm not alone in this, it's fairly common on the support forum.) They sync eventually but it take several tries. So that was no fun.


A few games lost their registration too. More fun...


Listened to: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings f/Sarah McLachlan from the album "Barenaked For The Holidays" by Barenaked Ladies
