Are you that retarded?

The iPhone has taken all Apples time and has made iTunes bloated with stuff that most people do not need.

What are you refering to? The 90MB iPhone OS that has to be downloaded seperatly?

I'm thinking about all the iPhone stuff built in and other sync features not nescessary for what the iTunes app really is all about.

In case you forgot, iPod (and now iPhone) syncing is what iTunes has always been about. It was created for that specific purpose alone. How easy we forget.

This is the 5th update in a very short time. Not very Apple like to neglect their core costumers.

Soo they should neglect the 3 billion iTunes purchases instead? Apple just released 10.4.10 and now 4.11 is seeded. They have a new OS on the way. They've released security updates regularly for 10.3 and 10.4. I don't see your point.

Get back on track Apple! Lets see some SOLID software so that we won't have to update the same app so many times in a row.

What wasn't solid about your iTunes? Oh and as always you don't have to update your iTunes if you don't want to.
 
when will apple be a little bit more transparent about their patch?
It's so blatantly uninformative, it's almost insulting. This is one place where Apple could learn a thing or two about how Microsoft handles their update writeups.
 
I am hoping this is the beginning of HD Movies on iTunes (and more studios)!

My fingers-crossed best guess is:

Aug.: iMac, iLife 08, iWork 08, announce new Leopard feature

Sept./Oct.: widescreen iPod: no WiFi, no Safari, 120GB/$399, 60GB/$299; refreshed nano: new colors, 12GB/$199, 6GB/$149; refreshed shuffle: new colors, multiple playlists, $79.

Oct.: Leopard.

Jan.: refreshed :apple:tv, 200GB/$349, 100GB/$249, buy content without computer; iTunes 8 HD; movies on demand, emphasis on "DVD" extras, $4.99/48 hours; iPhone refresh, $549/12GB, $449/6GB. One more thing: MacBook nano: flash HD, always on, no trackpad, MultiTouch display.

No iPhone nano until 2Q or 3Q 2008.

I'm really hoping for a TV subscription plan for :apple:tv in time for the fall TV season, but I don't see it happening.

Micro$oft does not like to release patches because the hackers use the patch to figure where the bug is at, then write a hack for it and get all the people that did not patched inmediatly.

Their write up (M$) are more informative, but who knows what they "forgot" to mention in the writeup. Just bacause there is a lot of info there, does not means it is complete, it means they have a heck of a lot of bugs.
 
how do people give this post a negative. Its not speculative info or anything like that, its not a new product.... what is there to dislike for a software update?

Maybe the person hacked the iPhone and afraid may have to reset to factory and re-patch, or maybe Balmer voted a neg.
 
By chance have you moved iTunes out of the main /Applications path into a sub-folder? If so, Apple Software Update will not find it. (I have the same problem myself.)

Also for those who may be interested, 7.3.2 does -not- fix the problem with Smart Playlists on the iPhone listing the wrong songs if you do a "recently added", "recently played", "most played" type of list.

Oh well...maybe in 7.3.3...

Tks but no...my iTunes is exactly in my folder Applications; not User/Applications, but Applications...anyone else has the same issue?
 
A bit boring, but it's always nice to get the notice so I can download the latest update when I get home. For some reason downloading updates is really satisfying, even when there are no visible improvements. Go figure.
It's like taking a good dump.
 
it seems to me that internet slang is often mixed up somewhere between humor and sneering .. i seem to recall in the old leetspeak argot culture - 31337 (eleet) became 1337 (leet) which gave way to 133t and more recently r337 (if you've got an accent or grew up in a country where your "r" and "l" sounds are interchangable) and now 733t? this looks more like teet and a subtle play on a younger n00b to me .. at some point maybe we should just resort to ascii ..

Personally I blame the constant exposure of the main practitioners' heads to radiation from CRTs... :D
 
Micro$oft
:rolleyes:

Please don't do that again. It's childish and diminishes whatever argument you might have.

Micro$oft does not like to release patches because the hackers use the patch to figure where the bug is at, then write a hack for it and get all the people that did not patched inmediatly.
I'm sure that's part of the reason, but they were also pressured by their big customers to have a patching schedule that the customers could plan their deployment and testing after. This should have no influence on Apple's patch writeups though.

Just bacause there is a lot of info there, does not means it is complete, it means they have a heck of a lot of bugs.
Yes, quite. And the fact that Apple only gives us half an effing sentence to describe the entire update must surely indicate that it's nigh perfect and bugfree.

You should use Linux, perhaps Fedora Linux. Package updates everyday, pretty much with Fedora.
 
Tks but no...my iTunes is exactly in my folder Applications; not User/Applications, but Applications...anyone else has the same issue?

Yes -- on both my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro. The update did not appear in Software Update, but was available in iTunes > Check for Updates. Doesn't really matter, since I usually know about updates from MR before I see them in Software Update, but it is a bit odd.
 
It doesn't?!? Why does it look like DOS upon start up? WTF is this "run" option in the start menu?

Can't wait to be able to use Mac OS X.

It's not DOS, its the Windows NT bootloader. Something has to actually start up before the GUI loads.

The run option on the start menu lets you execute any arbitrary executable or command-line application. Just like the "Command Line" application. It isn't dos, it is a command line into NT. Much like OS X has Terminal, which "looks like DOS" it provides an alternative interface to use the system.
 
what was the browse issue? what's changed?


A post I made after the last iTunes update:

I listen to my music by first selecting the 'Genre' then the 'Artist' and then the 'Album' in the 'Browse window'.

This has been fine until the 7.0 update, but now if a leave the 'Main Library' window - say to update my Podcasts or to visit the iTunes Store, the 'Artist' and 'Album' sections are no longer selected.

It's not the end of the world, but it is annoying.


This no longer occurs!
