So does it fix the random pauses I'm having in iTunes now? Even in the Windows version but Tiger is worse off than Leopard.

michael.lauden · Apr 6, 2009, 01:44 PM

there has been a lot added to iTunes lately - i just wish they decreased the memory+processor usage footprint for once.

Could this mean that 10.5.7 could possibly be released today as well?

These constant restart iTunes, reboot Apple TV have got to stop (although it's still my favorite product out there)

It COULD be, but I highly doubt it would be because 8.1.1 of iTunes was released.

what makes you think so???

happydude · Apr 6, 2009, 01:48 PM

so does this make iTunes snappier?

drober30 · Apr 6, 2009, 01:48 PM

All these releases/updates/fixes is a pain the a$$ and annoying! Seems more like a Microsoft practice.

Hopefully it does not require a reboot. I tired of the bouncing icon.

Rondue · Apr 6, 2009, 01:51 PM

another iTunes verison jeez they need a fricken road map. Plan don't just randomly come up with new features forcing update after update.

In Tiger it just beachballs whenever you start it up for about a minute. It freaked me out the first time because I thought it would never respond again or it was a broken installation. The interesting thing is that when I run Leopard on that same iMac it happens in Leopard too.

In Leopard/Windows Vista you get weird pauses in the middle of a song and have to hit play again or it takes 5-10 to load up a new song when you click on it.

That's weird, I'm on Leopard and it's never happened to me.

I often have problems syncing my iPod touch. It would be nice if this really did fix that.

The song pauses out of the blue have been uncommon for me in Leopard for months now. It tends to pick a song and then playback works fine after that.

Really. The nerve of Apple, actually sending out fixes for problems.

A reboot of your Mac? No, not required.

Jayomat · Apr 6, 2009, 01:58 PM

installed, no reboot needed. so far, it seems as if cover flows works properly again. yay

Ade-iMac-177 · Apr 6, 2009, 02:00 PM

Hopefully this means the variable prices arrive tomorrow then.

I relly would like to see a new download manager, Itus sux when it comes to dl podcasts. Im trying to dl a feed that has 60 podcast in it, it is almost imposible.

Stately · Apr 6, 2009, 02:01 PM

I have had trouble updating apps in itunes. Hope this issue disappears as no one at Apple seems to have an answer for this one.

Actually if it were Microsoft they would make a commerical bashing the rival music management software while totally ignoring their own epic failure.

Thank goodness, I thought it was just me that was having issues with CoverFlow performance in the latest update!
