hesitant to instal iTunes 7.7 as disclaimer says don't use with existing library. Trouble is if I instal 7.7 and create a new library for it, won't my old library be useless (for the moment) as 7.6 will be overwritten...?
Can anyone shed any light on how it all works if you want to retain an existing library? Thanks.
 
I'm guessing the the iTunes update is only available specifically to the 4000 developer who were admitted to the (whatever its called) where you have the ability to test out apps on your own device and upload to the app store..

Cause as an ordinary developer I can download the latest SDK but I see no sign of iTunes anywhere...

If I'm missing something please let me know! :)

Just back your library up (to your iPod if space permits) or an external drive/DVD.

Then, throw caution to the wind and do whatever mate - it's all backed up :)

Nope. I'm downloading it again and crossing all my fingers and toes. It's not even like you can repair the dmg file in Disk Utility (which i tried).

I have got to love all the misinformed people giving advice on how to _anything_ on the internet.

The iTunes library is _not_ your media files, it's a database of them. You can simply reimport your music if you ever lost or corrupted your library.
