I have and it works like a charm though I do hope Apple will get around to updating iTunes to where there's no longer a computer authorization limit especially for those whose hard drives aren't power surge proof.

I hoping this gets an insightful answer as I been having one of the most frantic weeks ever. So here's the lowdown...
Two weeks ago I find out my computer wouldn't display on my monitors (but would still power up). So I decide to do some troubleshooting. The motherboard I was using at the time has LED indicators on the board to show you where the problem was. The CPU LED was lit, so I take off the heatsink and run it without it to see if it would disperse heat. It did not, so I had a new one replaced. Put the new CPU in and the computer still did not go past POST. The CPU, however, did heat up this time. So I'm thinking it's the motherboard. Ordered a new one as the one I was using was already RMA'd once before (perhaps the board as a whole wasn't worth dealing with). Received the new one, loaded up the computer, and again, it still wouldn't post. And this point, I'm starting to stress out. Next step, swapped the PSU for a cheap one to see if it was the PSU not loading enough power into the computer. Again, wouldn't post. After trying everything I could possibly do, I gave up and had it get looked at by one of the tech repair guys in town. This was today, so hoping to hear from him soon. I can't think of what the problem is. Someone suggested that maybe I just ended up with bad luck and the new board I got was DOA. I won't know until later and I want to be 100% sure that it is what it is.
My specs:
CPU: i7-4790k
PSU: Corsair HX850 (main) and Corsair CX750M (cheap backup)
GPU: nVidia 770 GTX 4GB
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth z97 Mk2 (old board) and MSI z97 Gaming 5 (new board)
Ram: 8 GB (2x4) 1600
Case: Haf 932
Run 2 HDD's and 2 SSD's
and a Corsair H80 Liquid CPU cooler
Used both PSU's on the new board. Already put in a RMA form for the old board, but I won't ship it out until I know that the motherboard was the problem.
Aside from that, I don't know what else it could be. Seems like my computer is cursed or something. I hope I can get a reply to this post ASAP as the quicker I know information, the quicker I can take action. Being without a computer that actually runs everything I need for 2-3 weeks is frustrating.
Edit: don't think the CPU could be doa too? Don't have another board that I know works to test it.
I have an old Alienware m15x laptop. The AC adapter died just before the warranty ran out and dell sent me a new one with much lower specs. Also, the battery died, and it only runs on the adapter. Is it possible for the machine to run slow and lag in games due to insufficient power? I only ask because when I use the adapter for my m17x that works, it does run much better. Before I buy a new battery and adapter I just want to make sure my rudimentary test and conclusion could be correct.
As to why I'm wondering: I'm trying to let my son use the m15x to play swtor with me. It lags horribly on lowest settings with the 65w adapter(choppy, choppy gameplay. Almost like it's not even using the nvidia card). Runs fine up to high settings with the 150w adapter.
I realize it seems like I've answered my own question but I thought I'd ask someone who may know for sure if this is a possible cause before I shell out 100$ for an adapter and new battery.
Because conservative bias is a far, far worse thing. Liberal bias doesn't, statistically speaking, make people stupid. Conservative bias (or at least Fox's version of it) does.
I went on a holiday in a different time zone, and there my cellphone adjusted to the time zone automatically.
No problem here. But I forgot to do the same thing with my camera, so when I look at the pictures together, the chronology is all messed up.
Is there a regular expression that I can use in Windows, that will modify the timestamp of my files?
I traveled nine time zones to the west, so everything need to be nine hours earlier.
