I am looking for some support here. My wife contends I am a poor model for those learning about technology because I am easily frustrated when I can’t get things to work. While she may be describing my behavior correctly, I think there are circumstances in which I have a right to be frustrated.<\/p>\n

So, I have finally figured out the source of my frustration. I have a two fold problem. First, I believe what it says. Second, I tend to try to fix things that don’t work. Sometimes I do this before I understand the nature of the problem and this does make things worse. Sometimes this is not my fault (see problem # 1).<\/p>\n

Check the two images at the top of this post. The first is the signin for Apple’s MobileMe site and the second is Apple’s signin for the iTunes site. You see in both images where it says sign in with your Apple ID. Wouldn’t you think that your Apple ID was your Apple ID as in there was one of these things? Not so – it turns out the IDs can be different. How was I suppose to know? I kept changing my ID and password, but one or the other of these accounts would not work. It seems I can change the ID and password for iTunes, but only the password for mobileme. Now I realize I must simply treat these accounts as if they were provided by two different companies and enter a different Apple ID for each. I have given up on things being logical.<\/p>\n

I rest my case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
