Hello I recently opened up my iTunes as I usually do. On the left side under the source bar I have a new source: eric's LimeWire Tunes. I have no idea how this could have appared. My name is not eric, and I dont even have LimeWire. I do have Acquistion which I believe uses LimeWire. No body has ever hooked up there ipod to my laptop! I cant delete the source. When I click on it, it says connecting. Please help me, Thank you so much!

Sounds like you have 'Search for shared music' turned on i preferences. Somebody else on the network has a Limewire share and iTunes is picking it up. I get a couple in the office that pop up every so often. Nothing to worry about.

Happened to me when i was at campus, turned on my itunes and i saw alot of my next door room mates, upstairs, downstairs people's itunes music.

Too bad you can't copy those music, though it was fun seeing what music they listen to

Its just good when you live in an environment like that, if everybody leaves their computer on, you can all share each others music for the 4 years you are in that building. That way every person does not have to buy every song, you can each buy a few and share until college is over.
