Stupid Computer Tricks

[JWBear]

Bill and I both got new iPod Shuffles for Christmas. Bill had his plugged into his computer to charge when a Windows update required him to reboot. He came and got me because Windows wouldn't come back up.

I played around with it for awhile. Nothing. I went into the bios setup and looked around. Then I opened the boot sequence. It went like this:

Floppy (not installed)
Apple iPod
HDD

The damn thing was trying to boot from his Shuffle, which was still plugged in. I unplugged it, exited the bios, and it booted right up! :rolleyes:

You might want to go in and change the boot order so that doesn't happen again.

I did. Left that part out. Sorry.

Youtube told me today that I would not be able to access my account unless I linked it to my google account. Weird. So I clicked a button to do so, realized it was the wrong button, and now I can't access youtube at all. This is the page error message I'm receiving:

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Anyone know what's up? I went into my setting to make sure cookies weren't disabled, so, I'm at a loss. Can't open my account, can't link to a video from the youtubery thread, can't link from a google search.

Try deleting the cookie for Youtube. Since you're using firefox, the procedure is:

Tools->Options->Privacy->"remove individual cookies". Scroll down to youtube.com and delete it.

It worked! Thanks, GD :D
