Startup Chime always sounds
Case # 150 926 250
Try this: Reset PRAM, take volume to zero (not mute) and restart. See if that stops it.
Apple says this is a feature, not a bug. They need it for troubleshooting.

Just restarting Windows fixed the problem. The only things different:
No idea why it worked. Apple didn’t know either, but it’s fixed. Final step was to re-point to the music folder on the external hd.
Upgraded MBPro to Parallels 5. Did standard updates during install. Many settings did not come through.

Snow Leopard froze last night. Had to hit power button. Force Quit application opened, but showed no applications open, when there were many.
Call Apple in the morning, after they opened. Sent me an email and said that I shouldn’t have so many applications open.

There’s an intermittent mechanical clunk when clicking the corded Apple Mighty Mouse.
Have to take it in to an Apple store to get it diagnosed. They want to make sure I didn’t break it. In the meantime it’s the holidays and I’m getting ready to travel for a month. I think I’ll break out my 10-year old Microsoft mouse, which works just fine, and take that on my trip.
Decided on swapping out the mouse. I had to give my credit card. Will be sent to Pennsylvania.

I was creating an email that included a bulleted list. The first bullet was fine. Couldn’t get any other bullets to show up. If I tried to bullet the next line, Apple Mail created an indented bullet on the line below the line I was trying to bullet.
I miss the days of WP5.1’s reveal code functionality. It allowed me to see what what wrong and fix it. Here, Apple tells me I have a weird quirk.
To fix, I went to the indented bullet that I did not want and reduced its indent, then moved the text that was supposed to be on that line.
Wanted to set up AirTunes (again), but AirPort Utility is not detecting the AirPort Express. And Apple is closed.
Case ID: 142479600 from online system.
I did a little troubleshooting myself. Here are Apple’s lame and incomplete instructions: http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/setup.html
You can’t set up the router wirelessly. It has to have a wired connection for AirPort Utility to see it. Pretty fundamental step that Apple has conveniently forgotten in its Easy Setup instructions for AirTunes.

iTunes music and library are fine in OSX. When the XP version of iTunes upgraded, I lost the connection to my library and music. (Did I ever have it?)
My goal is one library and set of music file on my external hard drive. Their immediate solutions was to import the library in to my Windows version. I told them that I thought that would mean that any changes in Windows would not show up on the hard drive, since the Windows library is local to the machine. It’s finished it’s import process and now it’s determining the playback information.
Someone will call me back.
iTunes is not cross-platform compatible

Wanted to use Home Sharing. Wouldn’t work. No progress AT ALL in nearly an hour on the phone. Will research and get back to me. Another problem pointing the router, IMHO
