Hey guys-
I'm getting frustrated with iTunes 9, its been having some critical bugs that I can't seem to shake. And its preventing me from really using it! Plus, they seem to be unique to me and I can't find ANYTHING on it anywhere on the net.
First, and most annoyingly, this: http://cl.ly/1SFp
Search box with one thing missing: a typing cursor. I can't type anything in it, so I can't search and I do that about every five minutes.
Second, http://cl.ly/1SiS
Notice the lack of "Library Name" box. Now this wouldn't be an issue if the shared library name still was what it was before the update, but on networked computers it shows up as a long list of random asian symbols. I wish I had a pic, its actually pretty funny. UPDATE: The text boxes on the Store login screen are gone too. I can't log in, can't buy music
Third, the opening problem. Gist of it is after the update it wouldn't even open, nothing fixed except opening it and accepting the license agreement in safe mode. More recent development is that in completely removing iTunes (according to the kb article) and reinstalling, it happened again. See: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2470868&tstart=0 Seems to be a problem displaying the license agreement???
Also, its the least stable version ever. It's crashed more in the last 24 hours than it has ever. EVERY SINGLE time I create a new playlist it crashes. Switching quickly between songs often causes it also.
In short, things I can't do with iTunes:
Search through my library
Make a playlist
Search through Store
Log into the Store
Change library name (random name now)
Quickly change songs, especially radio stations
I have tried:
Wiping and reinstalling iTunes via the kb article (causes it to not open, have to boot into safe mode again, same other problems once it gets going)
Removing Genius file
Removing flip4mac
Posting this on Apple Discussions xD
Removing my systems' custom font
iMac downstairs running leopard has no problems with 9.2
Anyway, anyone got any ideas? PLEASE, if you know anything at all...
EDIT: Also crashes whenever I try to edit metadata. I can get info, but this happens: http://cl.ly/1U7E
As soon as I closed that window all the song metadata became random asian symbols. Can someone please tell me what is going on??
