Best damn iTunes error message ever.
Have you ever had one of those days where you are just a minute late for everything? When you are crossing the street, and the bus just passes you (30 minute wait for the next one). When you get to your favorite bagel store and the ($%(@$ woman in front of you gets the last plain bagel for the day. When you make it all the way across town on the hottest day of the year to do a social media interview only to learn it has been cancelled just as you enter the front door.
Today I get home all excited. My new pimp-ass green iPod Nano is here. Ok fine, it's a refurb. I sold my 1g Nano as the battery just wasn't holding a lengthy charge anymore. I pick up the box from FedEx and head upstairs. Open the outer box and then the inner box. Plug the iPod into the computer and the light appears on the iPod aah. Now the missed bagel and bus, the last minute interview cancellation are all out of my head.
iTunes appears to be starting... c'mon damnit. And then it happens. The following error message appears on the screen:
Now I know everyone bitches about those old BSOD horrible cryptic messages. But at least they told me something, somehow no matter what it said, it meant reboot. Anyway, what in the bloody hell does this error message mean? Maybe one of you Mac lovers can help a poor PC guy. Is there a 3d decoder I need to hold up to the screen?
What a way to end a day. Maybe tomorrow I should leave a minute earlier. :)






I've had that error before, lazy programmers =P
its telling you that you need the Red pill with the X on it to go down the rabbit hole.... Down there you might find the real error message or at least a clue.
poor showing by apple.
I think what that error message actually means is: "Stop using Apple's proprietary software on Windows, and switch over to a universal piece of Windows software like Winamp."
Either that, or it just means that one of the programmers forgot to plug a specific error message into that particular exception.
iError.
the error is; you're using itunes
so apples software which runs on both mac's and pc's is 'proprietary'
but winamp, which only runs on pc's....is universal.
only to a PC user could that make sense....
because to shut down a PC, you have to press a menu labeled.....start.
