How do I get iTunes to detect my iPhone 3G? iTunes freezes up when I connect my phone to my computer. I have made a thread about this but people view it and move on.
 
Yeah like that´s possible to get through all that bureaucracy. :rolleyes: I even checked from their site, that if you don´t have Apple Care you have to pay for call support.

Prices were something like from 29,95$ (one time support) to 600$. :eek:

They will not charge you, tell them you have a quick question and they will help.

Awesome. I'm glad they give us the choice to remove Ping from the side and stuff.

Can't wait for iOS 4.2!
 
You can't. Despite what it says in the release notes, Airplay on 10.1 still doesn't work as advertised. You can only stream audio, as if it were an Airport Express.

I can't even do that. I have the new Apple TV and I just upgraded iTunes, but when I open the popup menu select which remote speakers to stream to, it only list my computer and my airport express. What am I missing?

It still doesn't show artwork for albus that only ave a few songs. Piss Poor.

There seems to be something wrong with your library. iTunes shouldn't care about how many songs an album consists of or if it's complete. Do all those songs have the correct artwork to start with?

I dont dare to hope but does the second bullet actually mean we can now sync using wifi ? (been waiting for this since iPhone 2G).

On your AppleTV go into settings and enable the option for Airplay speakers.
 
Can't upgrade to iTunes 10.1

Anyone else having this problem? I'm running OS X 10.6.5, currently have iTunes 10.0.1...Thx.
 
But I can't figure out why the little speaker icon showing that a song is playing is messed up.
I get the same messed-up icons when I copy the re-coloured iTunes.rsrc file from 10.0.x into iTunes 10.1. You probably simply have to rework the iTunes.rsrc file from 10.1 manually (or wait for somebody else to do it for you).
 
Generally, yes. This doesn't make much sense to push from iTunes to ATV as that's what ATV already does. I'm just hoping other apps can take advantage of the technology so we can play whatever filetypes we want without having to convert them so they can be imported into iTunes...this is my main complaint with ATV, otherwise I love the device.

Other than that you can suddenly decide to want to hear a song without having to look for the remote :) ... but really from what Steve said at the ATV2 debut, in the future you should be able to stream anything. Would it be nice to say "Honey, look at this" and then stream a HTML5 video to the TV?

Yep, that's what I did. Using Themepark, I had to open the untouched 10.1 resource file alongside the modified resource file and copy over the colorized icons. Then it worked fine.

I also have my volume slider modified to go back to the slim look.
 
From Apple's new T&C's "IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING PING. We have changed the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions to provide you notice that if you have opted in to the Ping social network and use the new Ping Sidebar, iTunes will send information to Apple about the content you select in your iTunes library in order to provide you with Ping personal recommendations. By using Ping, you agree to Apple's use of such information. If you do not want iTunes to send this information to Apple for Ping, you may hide the Ping Sidebar or opt out of Ping."

Emphasis added.

Basically with Ping, Apple is looking at all of your media collection, not just what comes from the store. Maybe it's meaningless but it seems to guarantee Apple will look into your own music library like never before. It might be a helpful precursor to them planning for iTunes in the cloud or it could be used to establish more of what people listen to but isn't always available in the iTunes store.
 
Could you be a little more specific?

Well, it downloads and starts the process of writing the files and then a window pops up saying that I need to quit the installer. Once I do that, it says that an unexpected error occurred and that the program could not be installed.

The installer tells you to quit the installer? :confused: Does it really say you that you have to quit the installer, or that you need to quit iTunes?

You're using the stand-alone installer here, or the software update mechanism provided by OS X ? I would probably try both of these options. I also assume that you've tried restarting the computer already. This is one of the few times where I would go ahead and see whether repairing permissions is able to do something about your problem. You could also see whether trashing the iTunes application bundle and then restarting before installing the update helps. :)
 
Where are the 90 second previews that Apple said were to be confirmed?

They're only on the .69 cent music. :) I'm assuming that's a server side thing and not an iTunes side thing. I imagine they'll turn it on sometime in the future. I'm assuming they need to take new cuts of the music, replace the 30 second cuts, and all that.
 
Out of curiousity, has anyone taken a look in the Mac iTunes files to see if there are any references to text tones? I'm wondering if there's something internal that's disabled for now for custom text tones for the i4. I don't see anything in the PC iTunes.

Did ALL record labels agree to an additional 60 seconds to preview a song off an album? It's understandable that iTunes would have to undergo edits and changes through every song.
 
Long time lurker

Yes I am a noob to this site as a poster, but long time lurker. Love it.

Since I updated to iTunes 10.1, it does not connect to my network. Is there a setting I have to re-set to get connection to my network? Thanks in advance.
