iTunes 7.4.1 Update Released

[overanalyzer]

yeah, I had just noticed 7.4.1 was out in su. was looking to see if anyone knew what changed since yesterday. m4r ringtones still working? haven't even had a chance to play with that yet....

update: well now that my post got merged into a more active thread I have my answer....

WHOA, am I tripping, or did I see closed captioning as one of the new features of iTunes 7.4?!

About time!!!

the new features arent great

 

[Bernie-Mac]

I found a solution that i am going to use to my full advantage....dont download it lol

So where are all those people that said Apple did this on purpose?

Seriously, Apple didnt have to do this, they could have made the lawyers happy by charging but keeping their customers happy but leaving a small loophole open and i mean unless someone was going to sue them they never had to do anything about it

I was talking about using iToner, I think you might have miss understood me. I take the mp3 I want, drag it to my desk top, instead of being ctu24ringtone.mp3, I change it to ctu.mp3. When I put it in iToner and sync it up with my iPhone it works perfectly. I understand you don't like to use payware as you stated, I don't know why, but everyone is different, but you can try it for free. Its worth a try to see what I'm talking about. But that's up to you.

I didn't misunderstand anything. The thread is about iTunes. Obviously when I used the word "it" I was speaking of iTunes. I don't like how iTunes names the ringtones.

what timing...i *just* dl'd the new itunes at like 4:30, came home and put custom ringtones on via this method not more than 10 mins ago to see there is already a new version. grrr.

Unbelievable. Apple is really acting out this week. In less than 24 hours they patch a hole that affects their bottom line, but here we are 2+ months into it and we're still waiting for a single user requested feature. C'mon Apple, throw us a bone. How about a stupid "delete all messages" button? Something, anything that doesn't require a wallet...

They would never do something like that on purpose, they want to make money not lose it

So where are all those people that said Apple did this on purpose?

I know but on the post about this loophole a few people were like oh apple did this n purpose and stuff like that and i want to know where they are now and tell them how right they are

yay, another download to take ten years on my crappy schools network

Apparently this update was released specifically to disable the recently uncovered non-iTMS ringtone syncing capability. I know I'm not upgrading. They'll need to have... oh, I don't know... something like an iPhone software update to unseat me and force me to accept the latest iTunes.

Ok next time we discover a loophole in an itunes update we wont post it online...email it to eachother and keep it a secret ok?

Check. But, here's the thing... if we all get really really angry about it, maybe Steve will give us more store credit.

You are not tripping.

However, I have yet to find any video that IS closed captioned.

Well that was fast!

Engadget is reporting that they have tested the free ringtone system and it still works http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/07/itunes-7-4-1-already-released-free-ringtone-workaround-is-ok/

hmm..i have an intel mac...im giving it a try...and if it doesnt work i guess ill just use itoner for 30 days...but idk it seems that they released this version specifically for the ringtone thing so i dont get how it could still work

as I posted earlier here, iToner still works. I've sync'd multiple times different ways to test it out. Still works.

It's a bit like playing Russian Roulette, isn't it?

I used the rename to m4r method, and now I get an error message saying it cant copy...

how do I remove the ringtone from iTunes?
deleting the file does nothing

 

[amemoryoncelost]

I just hope someone uploads 7.4 for all of us. Im on dialup and figured I would wait to download the 7.4 in a few days when I can take the ibook out and find some wifi. Looks like I waited too long. Either that or I'll wait for it to be on oldfiles.com or whatever it is. Damn updates.

 

[miketcool]

Closed Caption! Finally! I remember when Apple was more friendly to the disabled. Time to step that game up again.

i know i was saying this itunes update was specifically for the free ringtones through itunes so i was wondering how it could still work for engadget

ah, well you'd have to ask Moki about that one. But whatever they fixed today it still works. Only took them a day to fix. Not too shabby.

 

[nickspohn]

uploading 7.4 now for those of you that want it.

 

[amemoryoncelost]

uploading 7.4 now for those of you that want it.

thank you VERY much!

 

[nickspohn]

probaly just a cover up


jobs: we have to hurry and add some feature so people don't think we're upgrading itunes to change anything that our brilliant programmers forgot to leave out.

 

[mrrydogg]

Couldn't they wait?

You think they could of let us have some fun until the ringtone/iTunes mini store goes live next week. If they were gonna disable us anyway, what's the rush?


Does anyone know if their is a new iToner out yet that works on iTunes 7.4.1?
