Apple Releases iTunes 9.2.1 Update

[rKunda]

How is it people would vote negative for a software upgrade which fixes known issues?

If you saw a headline, "Apple cures cancer," people would vote it down. I think it's just set on a macro.

Jailbreakers is it safe or no?

 

[rfahey]

I wonder when they'll address streaming to airtunes. Annoying as all hell when the sound drops

Hope this won't mess up anything, since iTunes runs fine for me already.

Then don't update. Unless an update resolves a security problem, fixes something you were experiencing, or adds support for something you need support for, don't update!

Working fine for me. Wi-Fi Sync is broken though (if you use it).

Wow - iBooks with regard to PDF reading is now actually speedy enough to be (very) usable on an iPhone 3G. More fluid animations and greater responsiveness overall - good update

The hell you say! Usable is an awesome step forward for the 3G.

iTunes update ... I think until it goes cocoa and 64-bit these are going to be a bit dull, but it lists specific issues so that's cool for those that had them.

IMO if they could get rid of the several second freeze when it mounts an iPhone or similar, and also stop that indenting everything in the source pane, we'd be getting somewhere. Then also debloating it and actually separating out the non-music stuff would be nice - ship syncing off to iSync, maybe then it might be of some use .

Hopefully this will get rid of those stupid "free song of the week"'s, because in 5 years, I've found ONE artist there that was listen-to-able.

Your taste in music must be as narrow as your vocabulary.

That has nothing to do with iTunes if it's Finder.

I knew someone would say that ... See this thread

http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2464851&start=0&tstart=0

And also part of this one

This issue occured on every mac I seen upon installing iTunes 9.2. I even tried clean installs of both 10.5 and 10.6 starting with iTunes 9.1 and moving on to 9.2. and the problem started directly after 9.2. The artwork appears fine in the finder within the iTunes music folder, but I you copy a file to the desktop for example, it's gone.

I wasn't very serious. I can't remember an update ever seriously messing up anything for me. In my experience, much more often, things get more speedy, and stability is improved, so I do like to stay current.

(I also wanted to be the 5th person in a row to start their post with "hope" or "hopefully")

Wow my RAM increased 2 GB and my lawn looks greener. Good update!

My brain seems snappier ... also, grew an inch.

thumbs up

Seriously. Scrolling and zooming is a joy now in PDFs.

No, they really put music that's just THAT bad there.

Took 10 minutes to download and install.

So this will make iTunes scroll like butter?

Not part of its core business. (ok ok - back to work with me)

Still crashes

Every time I try to connect to my shared library housed on my new iMac, iTunes crashes on my new MacBook Pro.

It says performance improvements...nothing specifically on scrolling

 

[godrifle]

Every time I try to connect to my shared library housed on my new iMac, iTunes crashes on my new MacBook Pro.

And when I try to submit a bug report to https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa, I get an error message. Kind of a self-referencing issue when the bug reporting tool has a bug that needs to be reported.

Was there a recent migration of smart people out of Apple?

Same as the fanboys would vote up "Apple causes cancer with new iPhones".

 

[Westside guy]

- Disables older versions of some incompatible third-party plug-ins
- Addresses minor issues with dragging and dropping items
- Addresses a performance issue when first syncing to some devices with iTunes 9.2
- Addresses an issue upgrading to iOS 4 on an iPhone or iPod touch with encrypted back-ups
- Addresses other issues that improve stability and performance

- Breaks Requiem...

hahaha Sooo true!

It's a classic marketing ploy. Companies want you to think that anything free or low-priced isn't worth having.

How is it people would vote negative for a software upgrade which fixes known issues?

They may be down-voting due to the fact that there are issues requiring a fix, since there's no other way to voice an opinion on that fact.

I know over the course of the last three years, my satisfaction with Apple has dropped from five stars to about 3.5 due to the unrelenting number of bugs in Mac OS X, OS X server, QuickTime, Safari, and Aperture. I worry they're growing too fast, and that mediocrity is creeping up. Seems to be a lot of excuses flying out of Cupertino.

 

[archipellago]

because iTunes overall (any platform) is now a pretty bloated and crap piece of software...

 

[netnothing]

How deep is this update?

I don't remember ever seeing this deep of changes with just an iTunes update.

PS. Sorry.....I'm a geek and look at this stuff
