Why I still hate iTunes: This computer is not authorized to play YourMovie
Believe it or not, I have not been an iTunes purchaser. I didn’t want to deal with the DRM and the mess associated with multiple computers and syncing.
However, I was waiting for my flight from SFO to LHR and thought I would finally give it a whirl. The experience was very poor.
The first problem was in purchasing the darn film I wanted. iTunes kept giving me a generic “Error, try again” message. It finally worked on the five try for some reason.
Then the kicker. The airplane food was over, so I could sit back and relax wit the show of my choosing. I go to play, and get:
“This computer is not authorized to play “Your Movie”. Would you like to authorize it?”
This is why I hate iTunes. I want to be able to just download and play things without all of the hoops. I have just purchased the movie on this computer so LET ME PLAY IT :/
Instead, I have to choose between Bee Movie and Elizabeth: The Golden Age. I choose my RSS reader, podcasts, and a good book.
