Help!! My computer SUCKS.

MouseWife · 07-15-2010, 06:41 PM

Okay, so, my desktop, it won't let me run a complete virus scan, and, it always says it is running too many programs AND it shuts down on me when I want to play my games on FaceBook {some say it is saving me...I don't want to be saved!!}.

To help out, my sons friend gave me a refurbished laptop. It was great! I could plow, plant, to my hearts content!

Last night I shut her down. This morning, no workie. :0( The cord {the battery is dead} has a green light that lights up but it isn't giving juice to the computer.

So, my question:

What am I supposed to do?

The desktop: Can I transfer my iTunes account to an external hard drive? I wouldn't mind cleaning my computer so much if I could save that. I don't have all of my cd's any more {I didn't sell them, they just disappear} and it took forever to upload them all.

The laptop: WTH? Did I break this one too? :0(

Okay, I'll try and come back on. This computer shuts off so much, I am worried it won't come back on.

Can't afford a new one.

Don't even tempt me. ;0) {that's me telling myself, BTW}

Thanks to anyone who responds!!

LOL

First step: Get a job. ;0) Or rather, a good one.

So. It died on me yesterday, I thought it was fried. Came back on. I did talk with a tech {who said he couldn't help me in the end so they will refund my money...darn, I guess I need to call and make sure...}.

He told me I could put my iTunes on an external~done!

He said my fan may be busted and that my computer may have over heated. He said it may have damaged something to the point where I should probably get a new computer.

Back to step one. Get a better job.

Sigh. And, the laptop my sons' friend got for me died too!!! Need to find out what is up with that. I wanted it for when I travel. Took it to Yosemite. Yeah, the free wi-fi in Curry Village....20 people max. Eventually I got on.

A Mac, eh?
