First, there's no indication that anywhere near 10% of iTunes 7 users are having problems.rlreif said:if ford put out a new car where even 10% of the finished products were lemons wouldnt you admit that it wasnt ready for prime time?
quadgirl said:For me 7.0.1 is the worst itunes release with regards to stability. I hadn't experienced any crashes or slowdown (on a quad I guess I shouldn't) with 7.0 but with 7.0.1 I get frequent crashes - during playback, getting album art. Performance alse seems slower. I guess I should have stayed with 7.0![]()

That is, iTunes deletes files from my music folder (mostly newer files; luckily I have everything backed up on an external drive) upon startup. It then tells me that it cannot find the files.
If I copy the files back after iTunes has started up, it finds them and everything is peachy until the next time I restart iTunes. Then it deletes them again and complains that it can't find them.
This guy is having the same problem:

I hope it gets fixed soon, as iTunes is at the moment completely unusable for me.
Never had that problem occur to me at all.Carthag said:Quoting this because I find it pretty important. I saw at least 5 people on the apple support board askin about the same problem. Have any of you guys heard about it? I'd really love to use iTunes again.
This happens to me constantly. When just playing randomly from all my songs, occasionally it will get to the end of a song, and just stop playing. The controls don't say that it is stopped, but it just gets to the end of the song, time remaining 0.00, and won't start up again until forward pressed. VERY annoying, and wasn't present on iTunes 6. (Haven't installed iTunes 7 yet on my home mac, just the work PC.)iNoles said:I already found a bug of iTunes 7.0.1 in Windows XP.
I have 2 songs showing up by search. When second song hit EOL but iTunes stop. I have to use forward to complete it.
I have the same iPod as you and the same problem. Difference is that I just got my iPod two days ago and now I think I am going to return it. Apple really has some sort of problem going on here.ShnikeJSB said:I have Windows XP Pro, and iTunes v7.0.0 wasn't able to recognize my iPod 5G 60GB AT ALL! v7.0.1 didn't either, until I did the whole "stop service/start service" thing. Then, it wouldn't update to v1.2 firmware or format my iPod -- it says it is doing it, but the progress bar just stays there indefinitely and nothing actually happens -- which means force-quit iTunes and unplugging the iPod... At least v7.0.1 updates my songs...
DANGIT!!! I want gapless playback!!!
hey, i had the same problem. i got it working again though! trash the application. go into the receipts folder and dump the itunes receipts and then reinstall (it wouldn't let me reinstall without dumping the receipts for itunes 7.0.1). i had also deleted some pref files but i don't think that did crap cuz it still wasn't workign after i did that. Anyways, my itunes works quite well now.ClimbingTheLog said:Same here. Crashes changing windows, crashes playing podcasts, can't play some podcasts (reveal in finder works for some, not others) crashes importing CD's to AAC files.
Pfft, I figured without everybody bitching about 7.0, 7.0.1 would be a safe update. 7.0 turned out to be OK here.
I'll keep clicking 'Report to Apple' I guess...
Be happy. I managed to get firmware 1.2 on my 60GB iPod, and I want to downgrade: It rarely manages to play 20 songs before a reset or crash. Sometimes it doesn't make ten.ShnikeJSB said:I have Windows XP Pro, and iTunes v7.0.0 wasn't able to recognize my iPod 5G 60GB AT ALL! v7.0.1 didn't either, until I did the whole "stop service/start service" thing.

nemaslov said:Some kind of problem. I think not. I have had four iPods and maybe a dozen macs and Apple seems to upgrade and improve regularly and more than any other company.

KevKaos said:I had my first experience with Applecare today on the phone, and I must say that it was a nice enough experience. The tech has given me some steps to try to clear (at least) my missing firmware file issue. Of course I haven't tried it yet and don't know if it will work on that issue only or also on my inability to update my iPod. The point is, they were responsive, and didn't treat me like I was a total idiot. There is something to be said for that sort of service. Now if the steps they gave me fixes my problem, I will really sing their praises.
Fingers crossed. I'll be working the issue this evening.
The new 7.0.2 update doesnt even solve my airtunes problems! Hard to believe these problems aren't know and acted upon by apple...
If you don't report them, they don't know about them. Apple doesn't search MacRumors to help with problem solving.
