Apparently I am playing around with it too now. I am having to reinstall Windows 7 since something went wrong and it's in this weird error need to reboot cycle. I'm thinking I did something wrong with the relocation.xml file that it asks you to make. At least that is what the first error said something about.

*sigh* and after I finally get it how I want it, I have like 2 hours of restoring data from my server to do as well.

Then all the sudden Their drives are full and they scream like the sky is falling. duh.

Unless they download/import it to their iTunes install at work, it should not sync music from their iPad that they loaded at home on their iTunes at work. That's strictly forbidden so as to not allow people to inadvertently 'pirate' music. There are. however, third party programs that let you copy the music off your iPod/iPad into a different/new iTunes install.

yea they do it with third party software. Or as one lady a couple weeks ago....check her personal drive on the network and its full of mp3s. I stop by her office to find she brought in an entire bag of music cds from home and was frantically trying to import them all into her itunes while no one was looking. We have itunes installed by default for work related podcasts. They know they are not allowed to put copyrighted music onto their work owned PCs but they try to do it everyday.

Not just a bump, but a bump with a link to do the same thing in Windows 8.... not that anyone really cares about Windows 8.
