[NPMUG] iTunes 8.1 user problems roundup - MacFixIt

[Anomie]

Dave! you are wonderful!  OK I have finally bookmarked that site so I  
can figure things out myself a bit more often...

I had removed the other day Quicktime the other day because I was  
annoyed with it... not realizing that everything relies on it. DL the  
update and all is well!!  Who would have thought...  quicktime makes  
the scrollbars in iTunes work......  I bet 8.1 will work now too.....

PS to those of us who have far too many email addresses....  I had  
forgot which one I used to join the group, the "to" box says  NPMUG  
instead of my address... If you post with the wrong address, the post  
goes into the ethers.... no post, no error message, no notice of "Hey  
dummy" I had not been able to post for  a while....  showing "all  
headers" gave me the proper address....
