hope the update will solve the problem with my calendars tripled in iTunes and iPhone when there's just a single copy in iCal.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Releases iTunes 10.3.1, Potentially Fixing iOS Device Syncing Bug
- Thread starter MacRumors

I got the -50 twice, switched cables and haven't gotten it since ... Did that happen to anyone else? (all within 10.3)
By the way I can't download the WWDC 2011 keynote from iTunes, it just loads but doesn't initiate the actual download... anyone else suffering from this?
And is it just me or does Steve Jobs look worse than ever? He even limps now...
It actually is downloading. Just leave it going and the keynote will eventually appear. (I can't say how long it will take since I left it going overnight.)
I happened to me last night, when it seemed to get stuck at almost the end of a backup.
I had to close all apps and Power Off my iPad, which was taking way too long, so I had to force it to Power Off.
I also moved to USB cable from the Hub in my monitor to a port on the MBP (just as a precaution)
Then, I did a full backup and finally Sync started to work. Made several sync changes and started to work every time.
I would dare to say that this problem may have been caused by not having enough available RAM on the iPad, and my suggestion would be to close all apps, power cycle the iPad and then do the Sync with iTunes, in order to avoid issues like this.
Hmmm....
Still running 10.2.2 and iTunes update says it is the latest version, but....
Last night I had to burn a song to disc for my daughter to take to school and when I opened iTunes, it asked if I wanted to update to 10.3. Since I needed to get the disc done, I said "No".
But this morning, it is saying 10.2.2 is the current version.
Did 10.3.1 get pulled?

You must be synching over the air, over iTunes and in some other way at the same time.
In iTunes, the Sync settings for Calendar should warn you when your configuration could cause duplicate entries to appear.
Another way to test this would be to open iCal in your iPhone, selecting Calendars, and making sure only one Calendar shows at a time instead of All Calendars.
I have only ever gotten this error when it attempts to sync my photos to my external HD which sometimes goes read-only
Seems more like a Finder bug than an iTunes bug, the -50 is just it crying that it doesn't have +w to the folder it needs... at least I won't see an error but healing the symptom is not a "bug fix"

The Cloud is the golden repository. Your devices mirror its contents instead of mirroring your Mac.
For example, in my case every time I bought a song on my phone or my wide did on her phone, I had to sync to her Mac or my Mac, go find the files in finder, then manually copy to a central location which was subject to daily backups and used to feed our apple tv. This was the only way to make sure either of us could listen to any song either of us bought, and could listen from either phone, either of our iPads, either of our macs, or from our apple tv. One computer in our house was the golden repository. Now the cloud takes care of it - just buy a song from wherever and it automatically downloads everywhere else. iTunes Match will do the same for ripped CDs or mp3s purchased elsewhere.
thanks, but this is not much different to before (unless i have missed something)
if i buy a song on my mac, it just automatically downloads it again from the app store on my iPod touch (is this classed as cloud, seems like just using the itunes store to me but allowing multiple downloads)
isnt itunes match similar, it just shows which songs that I have that were not purchased from apple and allows me to download these from the itunes store for a modest price
perhaps i dont really understand cloud computer, but to me these just seem like itunes store enhancements, i dont see what extra is being stored in the cloud
i am not getting 10.3.1 on software update or from within iTunes and its not on the website either.
I got the 10.3.1 notification in SU late last night. Haven't updated yet...
As an IT guy, I honestly don't trust auto-updating software. Not from Apple or Microsoft or Oracle or anyone else. I prefer to watch a new version come out, let other people find any potential problems, then upgrade after everything seems stable across a wide swath of users.
The exception might be if something was broken in a current version that the new version fixed, but that's a rare occurrence if you've already let the world be your test team for the older version.
YMMV.
The price you pay for giving the Google Hive access to what's on your system, I guess.

The iTunes store IS the cloud. It's no longer necessary to have a computer in your house where you store all your music. Every computer in your house is now merely a client that can hold copies of any or all of your music. you sync to the cloud, not to some box sitting in your house.
US only feature
It looks like the beta for iCloud music history is only available in the U.S. right now. I just hope this an issue exclusive to the beta. I would hate to see the same thing pop up when iCloud goes gold. Just like iTunes movie rentals, a number of apps, iBooks and the original iPhone I hated sitting on a waiting list while those in America got to play with the Apple toys.

I got the -50 error when I tried to sync after downloading previously purchased music from iTunes on my iPhone 4. Then I opened the iPod app, it updated the library (presumably to include the downloads), and the problem went away.
Ok, thanks for clarification
think i will stick with local sync, more options and quicker
I would assume they still have to work out international or country by country copyright deals, etc. I think a minor bump in the road for the moment probably.
I am on Windows 7 Pro 64 and do not use mac because I work on PC but, I will attest to the fact that Chrome is buggy and should be avoided. I myself have been on Firefox since day one 7 years ago and have never looked back. It was not until Firefox 4 hit that I actually saw problems manifesting with Firefox.
no no, it's iTunes and only with some calendars some duplicated and some tripled:
if I uncheck one both appear unchecked after syncing and vice versa

Not sure what you are saying. It's not an either-or thing. You mostly would use the cloud to sync your computers to each other, not to sync your phone to your mac/pc. If you have only one phone/ipod and one mac/pc, icloud is not going to be of much help to you (other than itunes match which gives you the ability to grab stuff you didn't already sync to your phone when on-the-go - but it's not worth it just for that).
The magic of icloud is when you have a scenario with multiple pcs and multiple idevices.
currently have 1 mac and an iPod Touch
most music i get is ripped from CD, bought from eMusic and a little from iTunes
If I buy from iTunes its a pain downloading twice when i can just connect up my ipod and its synced very quickly, plus i use playlists mainly which this doesnt do (i need to plug it in somewhere over night to charge so why not just sync at the same time)
I missread the whole thing when i first read about it, when i saw it only worked on WiFi, I assumed it would do the same as a wired sync now only wirelessly, didnt know that all it did was re download your purchases on other devices
i thought homesharing did multiple machines already, download on one and it copies to others ?
