Apple Releases iTunes 10.2.1

[MacRumors]

A new iTunes 10.2.1 update has appeared in Software Update, superseding the iTunes 10.2 update released just last Wednesday to support iOS 4.3. The new update can also be obtained from Apple's iTunes download page.

The update description is exactly the same as for iTunes 10.2, so it is unclear what has been changed since last week's release at this time. Changes are presumably minor, however, although they may include important bug fixes.

After an initial report this morning claiming that iOS 4.3 would appear today, three days ahead of schedule, The Loop has reported that users should expect the public launch to occur tomorrow.

Another one? Okay... though I've had no trouble with home sharing or using 4.3...

 

[Nitrocide]

I hope it fixes the wacom scrolling issue, that is all! (and a 64bit re write ho ho ho)

 

[Slix]

I hope it's even faster. XD

This might be the reason why we didn't see the rumored release of iOS 4.3 today.

 

[gibbz]

Nice update, but not as snappy as Safari.

 

[shartypants]

Must have found a significant bug to put out a release just before iOS4.3.

 

[Dooger]

Meh. I'm still on 9.2.1 and don't plan on changing any time soon

This might be the reason why we didn't see the rumored release of iOS 4.3 today.

Exactly what I was thinking!

Anyone else having slow downloads for this?

 

[frenchie0101]

i was having a problem with downloading artwork but with this new version it seems to be fixed, so one of the bug fixes could of been that

New iTunes is much faster when rolling over song previews, etc. Seems to quit faster too.

This might be the reason why we didn't see the rumored release of iOS 4.3 today.

Just what I was thinking

Well, home-sharing works ok but it did have some problems with Movies (i have 170 in that folder of features and clips)... it would start to get the titles and thumbnails incorrect

So its either iOS4.3 that wasn't working correctly or iTunes not delivering it properly ... hopefully this solves the issues

**Update**

Nope...still screwed up ... scrolling down list of films gets the proper thumbnails but keeps the titles at the 1st dozen or so and keeps repeating until you either rotate device or go into and back out of one then it correctly refreshes

Assuming that the GM 4.3 is the final to be released version too

I'm getting a JAVA for Mac update as well!

 

[Robin Chung]

Nice update! Keep 'em coming.

 

[seamusk]

This is great! itunes has been freezing up on me all week.

 

[Grouchy Bob]

And Java...

Holy crap. These software updates are getting to be as annoying as Windows.

 

[flyinmac]

Brings back memories of trying to keep up with the iPods....

Software update launches today, tells me about iTunes 10.2 and some Java update. So, I go ahead and download them.

After it finishes installing, I launch iTunes, and I'm greeted by a message telling me that there's a newer version available (10.2.1). So, now downloading that.

10.2 literally only got to run for mere seconds. Whatever was wrong with it, I'll never know.

 

[stainlessliquid]

why the hell is it twice the size of the 10.2 update? Im so sick of these huge itunes updates.

 

[frunkis54]

Why all the negative ratings for a itunes update

 

[emulator]

And Java...

Holy crap. These software updates are getting to be as annoying as Windows.

So you prefer when companies don't update their crap? You should go back to the pre-network console era.

 

[applefan289]

And Java...

Holy crap. These software updates are getting to be as annoying as Windows.

I happen to love software updates.

 

[Lezz]

Thought it would fix the bug that prevents itunes from counting 'home shared' tracks in play count... Still not counting

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

Sneaky update.
