iTunes weirdness

November 1, 2006

I went to go see if there was an office I had missed in iTunes today (since our Tivo is being a little weird and didn't record one this week), and there were no TV shows in my iTunes. Okay, that's kind of weird...where'd they go? A quick google search shows that TV shows aren't available outside of the US...but I'm in the US...and oh, Robbie Williams Rudebox is the #1 album on the top sellers chart. So somehow I tunes thinks I'm in the UK now? I click on account info and it helpfully informs me that I'm only allowed to view the US store and will be taken there now.

Uh, ok. Thanks. Kind of a back-handed way to fix my problem, but I'll take it. Clearly this has something to do with my computer losing it's authorization after installing iTunes 7 and needing it restored? Except that was a few weeks ago and I've downloaded a TV show since then. I hate it when computers misbehave for seemingly no reason (and no, I haven't picked up the 7.0.2 release yet).

Good news, I didn't miss an office, and even better, Season 1 of the state is available on iTunes now. Sweet.
