We need a new printer, scanner, copier. I'd like one that can print decent photos. Any suggestions?

HP all the way.. Especially since you said Photos.

Not really picky on the model - any of the Photosmarts are good. I use a wireless one here that is hooked into our network/router so we can print from anywhere in the house, and even remotely if we so desire.

Thanks Austin. I was thinking wireless too.

Austin, I need your expertise again.

My laptop had been giving a lot of trouble over the summer and I left it in for repair. They have replaced the hard disc and generally overhauled it. The also wiped quite a number of programmes which I had added, mainly by CD (I guess they were on the old hard drive).

Anyway I've been reinstalling some stuff.

But, itunes was gone from the computer, so I went onto the site and downloaded it again. However, when I try to get into it (and I need this to sync my iphone and ipad) I get the following error message:

'the file I Tunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes'

The only option I have then is to click 'ok' which closes the programme. Not much good to me though!!

Any idea what I can do?

1- Uninstall iTunes
2 - Go to your "personal" folder (user folder) and find the Music/My Music folder
3 - Delete the iTunes folder
4 - Go to your personal folder again and go to documents and make sure there isn't any music folders there, and if there is - delete them.
4 - Reinstall iTunes

The library will rebuild and have a new copy...

IMPORTANT: Only do this if you have your music on something other than the PC (iPod, other PC, CD's, iTunes store, etc)

So just to get this right Austin, I must back my music onto a 'third party' device, and delete my entire music library from the computer while doing this?

I have it on an external hard drive. Will that do?

That'll work. But yes, uninstall itunes, delete the itunes folders, and reinstall.

Ok, thanks Austin. I'm at work now but will try that tonight.

Happy Birthday!!

Thanks Austin! That worked!
