Apple Releases iTunes 7.0.1

i had no problems with 7.0 but now itunes constantly crashes. i've gotten it to play music for about 20 minutes at the most without crashing.
Mac Fly (film) said:iTunes fullscreen videos still aren't pause-able in fullscreen (after update) without iTunes automatically quitting fullscreen.
Hmm. I couldn't do that in 7.0.0 (ie, before update) either. Pops me out of full screen and, worse, grays out the "Full Screen" option. Really sucks for watching videos!

I have iTunes open on a secondary monitor all the time and both a Kenningston and a Logitech... doohicky... work fine with their scroll wheels.
Not sure where your issues lies, since the scrolling is controlled by the system. Perhaps check System Preferences-->Mouse?

I have a 4G (FW) and my wife has a 5G (USB). We connect them both via the front of my G5. Hers takes at least twice as long to sync as mine. And, neither is anywhere near 10% of the theoretical sustained transfer rates of their respective connection! Updatiing 30GB of music takes around 3 hours, or 10GB/h, or about 22Mbps. For transport mechanisms advertised at 400 and 480 Mbps, that's just pure crap!
I think something's either wrong with the Mac USB stack, or with how Apple's sending data across it. Especially now that we have no choice but USB on any new iPods, they really need to figure out where the bottleneck is and fix it!

The day will come when repairing permissions is remembered as a cruel joke. I shouldn't have to repair permissions every time I do something. It's rediculous.
I'll second that - Since installing iTunes 7 has given me a fair share of grief, including simply popping open for no reason and cancelling restarts/shutdowns even when the application appears to be quit, but the new features have been welcome additions. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this update will smooth things out.mahonmeister said:A lot less people seemed to have problems then I thought. I definatly needed this update, now I can import a cd, listen to a song and browse the iTunes Store without it crashing. Yays!
Please Apple, do more testing with your software/hardware before a release.
iTMS problems??
I tried to download an album off of iTMS just now, right after downloading 7.0.1, and it's giving me "Error 50" and telling me to try again after I've reconnected to the internet. Thinking it was just the particular album, I tried downloading the free single of the week, but ended up with the same problem. So now I've got 12 songs in my download queue..
What happened was I got a series of error dialogs, all with the "error 50", with one that popped up about half way through telling me that I'd now authorized 4 out of 5 machines (which sounds about right, but I hadn't done anything to try to authorize this machine or another).
Anybody else had the same or similar issues?

Haven't really had an opinion on the whole repairing permissions debate on this thread, but I can say I'd much rather remember to repair permissions once in a while than face the BSOD every other day.macenforcer said:
And, you know, even if repairing permissions turns out to be a big fat placebo, doing it still makes a lot of folks feel good, and gosh darnit, that's worth something, isn't it?
bousozoku said:Repairing permissions doesn't yield results each time the way it used to do, since they quieted the special permissions lines, but I find certain software such as iTunes always requiring repairing.
I had one third party application cut off write capabilities in the /Applications folder, which was interesting, but the same installation on this machine doesn't have the same problem.
We'll see if iTunes version 7.0.1 deletes certain music from the iPod. I hope it does things properly.
Here's my problem with Repair Permissions:
If an installer you ran went so horribly awry that it changed file permissions willy-nilly all over the place, Repair Permissions is only going to fix those permissions on a handful of core system files and folders.
In other words, if you are routinely seeing results repairing permissions, then it's likely that you've got some serious issues in permissions as well as data corruption across your hard drive.
If you use RP as a "canary in a coal mine" that's fine. if you imagine that seeing those repaired messages meas you are out of the woods, though, you are sorely mistaken!
Still Badly Bugged!!!!
Damn - still has the same bug that I reported.
Sync latest one of a selection of podcasts - fine
Sync latest one unlistened of a series of podcasts (where there are unlistened episodes) - fine
Sync latest one unlistened for a podcast where there are no unlisteled episodes - broken!!
In this last case, all episodes of the listened podcast are copied, but none are linked into the podcasts playlist. They just take up invisible space!!!
This is very annoying

it wasnt just for pc's.... it worked fine on both of my intel macs, but on a g5 imac it ate somewhere around 90% of cpu, even when idleing and not playing anything... the fans would run full speed... this update fixed it...Pyrix said:
i dont understand why there was no macrumors coverage (at least i couldnt find any) on the problems with itunes 7... im an apple devotee, some would say fanboy, but are we such fanboys on this site that we cant even admit that apple put out a lousy update??? itunes 7 (before todays update) was crap pure and simple... it didnt affect everyone, but it affected a large enough amount of people that it could have been mentioned here
Argh.
This is just great. Bad enough my iTunes was crashing every hour or so, but now its crashing after the first song, and reparing permissions, and restarting is not helping.
Thanks for getting my hopes up with that 'fix', Apple.

I keep getting a "the item you tried to buy is no longer available" message when trying to buy http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewMovie?id=187699271&s=143441 (ok, for me and my wife...). Anyone else had this problem?

I actually have had my comment posted here completely erased. Even the comments that quoted my comment got erased. No ban, or private message telling me I violated any TOS. I just made a sarcastic comment about the MB MOO issue on the thread of how MacBooks were Times gadget of the week. So why would there be a comment about how crapy a release iTunes 7 is.
I use Party Shuffle most of the time to listen to my music.. I never had any problem with it.
After this update it will play only one song and then stop.. I have to manually click on each song I want to play. I have this problem with EVERY playlist.. I have tried finding looking through the preferences to see if there was something on that shouldnt be, but there was nothing that could explain this behavior.. Anyone know how to get it working right?

I'm back on iTunes 6 as well, but here's a question for the 7-up(date) users:
In the album art view (not coverflow), resize the album art column (and consequently the artwork itself). Switch to another view, then switch back to the album art view. Did the resize stick?
That one bugged the crap out of me.

I just want to disagree with one thing they said: that this is a Mac OS X specific problem, and that Unix has no such issues.
Unix has such issues. Someone has a saying that 90% of Unix problems are permissions issues, and on every unix-tool mailing list I'm on I've seen people ask for help and have the problem be that the permissions were wrong on some file.
Mac is nice that it has a tool for this. Does it solve everything? No. But it can solve a lot and doesn't take much time or effort. I wish Disk Utility could do more for the startup disk, but if there is one thing that can be quickly done, and will help solve a large portion of 'mysterious' problems on a Unix-based system it is probably making sure the permissions are set correctly. Giving that tool to the average user is probably one of the best things Apple has done to make Unix easy to use.
I normally run it after every system-restart causing installer, and I'll run it before a system update quite often. Just to make sure the installer did everything it was supposed to. (Because, it's supposed to set these right.) I have seen cases where it solved problems, and I prefer to use it preventatively because of the problems it has solved.
I have heard people are having trouble with 7.0, and since I have not had any trouble with 7.0 ... I will stick with it for now. Kind of nervous about updating for right now.
I didn't have that error but i had an error that the network connection was timing out. After refreshing the download in the tray however it worked completely fine...croasmun said:
