iTunes Sells 500 Millionth Song
TJPile writes "Apple's iTunes Music Store can now say half a billion served. One look at Apple's front page says it all. Sunday, at 2:44PM EST, Amy Greer of Lafayette, Indiana bought Faith Hill's Mississippi Girl to win."
"One look at Apple's FRONT page says it all." That's http://www.apple.com/ I can't help it if the editors butcher my submissions. I had links to Apple.com, the iTunes Music Store, and the winning song in my submission, but they were cut.
Apple's iTunes Music Store can now say half a billion served. ...Except that you didn't link to their lovely half-a-billion front page, you linked to the store page which they forgot to update since 'over 430,000 '.
For the teeming horders: clicky on the apple in the top left, et voila.

From the Apple website:
To deauthorize all computers associated with your account:
Click Music Store in the Source list.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
...and that's all there is to it.
What he mentioned deauthorizes ALL computers EVER authorized by iTMS with your account - whether the computers still exist or not.
You can use it once a year.
Since it seems like you only use one computer with your iTunes account, that'll take you back to 5 "reformats"...or just remember to deauthorize before you reformat next time to avoid all this in the future.
