| Quote Dead Man Walking="Dead Man Walking"How can I have sent emails to people when I wasn't anywhere near the PC at the time ? Is it possible some cheeky sod was somehow snooping and then sent the emails to those in my address book ? Can anyone help me on this please ? Thanks.'"
It's possible they didn't actually come from you; if someone else has some nasty software installed on their computer, it can look at the email addresses in [itheir[/i address book - and send out spam which looks like it came from one of those email addresses (it's easy enough to spoof that).
If there are common email addresses in both their address book and yours, which is quite often the case, then people in your address book may get emails from nasty software which has infected [ithe other person[/i, and just [ilooks like it came from you[/i because the nasty software found your email address in their address book and used it as the "reply to" address (or whatever).
Get your work IT bods to take a look. They could easily check the IP address / mail server trail on the email headers or something to see whether they actually [idid[/i come from your computer?

| Decided that I hate iTunes again. I've just added some music to my iTunes library and synced the iPod and the new music is on there but with no album artwork. So I went back onto my library (to change the names to, as I had the annoying separation on my iPod of "R.E.M" and "R.E.M. ", and when I went on to the library the albums weren't showing up, yet when I went on to the recently added playlist they were all there. Any idea of what I can do?

Hand edit the ID tags on the files, right click on them and choose get info, go to the info tab and adjust there.

I considered that but, but the chances of using his email address and sending an email to his contacts has to be statistically unlikely without account access in some form. I'm well aware how easy it is to send out forged mail, that's why decent ESPs should use things like DKIMs and rDNS lookups.

I reckon it's not uncommon for groups of people who know each other to have overlaps in their address books. Seems pretty likely to me, in fact.
Hopefully he'll get to the bottom of it!

Either there or the music folder, you are editing the files so it will show up in all places.

Not sure if it's the right thread, but you generally get a lot of people asking for cheap laptops. I've just picked up this laptop in Tesco for £179 (10% off due to bird's discount made it £161):
direct.tesco.com/q/R.211-6105.aspx
That's it on Direct, like. Just a heads up in case anybody is after a cheap laptop, a few notebooks were in the sale as well (Toshiba one for £99 and a couple of Dells for £129).

Likely an ex-display model if it was picked up in store, it is the time of year Tesco swap out the display items.
