iTunes, photos, videos and IE Favorites
As good as iTunes is, in some respects it’s just brain dead. Take the case of synching your photos between a PC and an iPad. I’m running Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) and have a number of photos taken over many years and other jpegs of paintings. Quite a number of these are drafts, duplicates [...]
