Yeah...imagine if they had gone back to purplish-pink?
Call me crazy, but I actually like the blue.
After install on my Powerbook G4 on OS X 10.4, the iTunes Store defaulted to Japanese. Weird. No other issues noted, tho.
Many people have been reporting similar issues, including those who haven't updated yet. Apparently, Apple's been tweaking something with the iTunes Store.
Ha, iTunes threw me to the Japanese store too (kinda), because the front page and everything else looked like normal, but then I tried to do a preview of a video and it said "This item is not availiable in the Japanese store". So even though the country selector was on US, I clicked US again and it worked.
Cover Flow
I have NOT experienced a significant improvement, or much of an improvement at all. I agree with previous posters that claimed a need for some sort of cache. If I try to scroll quickly, or change directions, i even get the color wheel! It's still so slow that it's almost not worth using cover flow at all. If you have 5 albums total, then maybe, but not when you have the kind of collection I have. Maybe next update... ( This is on a macbook pro 2.16ghz with 2 gb of RAM, no other programs running. )

One day, when they feel secure enough in their control over our access to music, Apple will take away the features that let us export to WAV or AIFF, or burn protected songs to a CD. They might wait until the music industry settles on a new and different format for CDs [or a totally new hard medium of some kind]... or maybe CD sales will drop to the point that RIAA members stop making them and begin offering only DRM-locked downloadable music.
Anyway, my point is that one day, Apple *will* screw us on this point.
Not quite sure what the hell's going on with my iPod & iTunes, but I'm not pleased...
Started noticing a little while ago that my rip speeds were way down (around 5x as opposed to the normal 10+x), but the major problem is that my iPod takes FOREVER to sync now. Started off with iTunes 7.0.1 and I thought upgrading to 7.0.2 would fix the problem, but it just made it worse.
Tonight, when I tried to sync up, it took over three minutes from the time when I plugged the iPod into my Powerbook to start actually uploading tracks to the iPod. When it finally did, the uploads were slooooooow... usually, they move pretty fast, but some songs were taking over a minute to upload!
Anyone else having these kinds of problems?
I have a Powerbook 15", 1.67GHz, OS 10.4.8.

I had the problem with being placed in the Japanese store, but found my way back to the good ol' U.S. of A.
Cover Flow view had to reload all of the covers, but once it was done I could fly back and forth without any problem. This is on a 1.25Ghz G4 Mini (1GB RAM), btw. So far, I'm happy with this update. I bought 2 albums, transferred them to an iPod Shuffle 1G, and everything "just worked".

Want to Uninstall iTunes 7.0.2 with 6.0.5 on Mac OS X
Have original shuffle, songs encoded with 7.0.2 won't load, but will load on second generation. On one machine, I want to put 7.0.2 out to pasture, replace with 6.0.5, but can't figure out which files to remove ... right now have message on 6.0.5 install screen that says Skip for three files. Can someone please tell me which files to get rid of and where they are??
Thanks in advance

I dont like itunes very much. ITs simple and seamless, but itunes is not intelegent enough. And it obviouisly has buggs(something macs ar not famouse for).
Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I'm confused about how to manage my iPod with the new iTunes.
My problem is that I have about 60 playlists in my iTunes and I only want to add about 5 of them to the iPod. Now, when I select only the playlists that I want to transfer, the music on those playlists is the only one that gets transfered to my iPod, and that would be about 1% or less of my library. If I select to add all the music and playlists, all the playlists get transferred.
The last option I tried was to manage it manually, and it worked fine for the playlists, except now all the unchecked items got transferred too, and it really is a pain to start deleting them one at a time each when you are uploading 40 gigs of music and want to leave out (or unchecked) about 2 gigs of those 40.
So, does anyone have a more practical way of doing this?
Thanks a lot.

Instead of posting your problem in an old thread, you would be helped much faster and better if you started your own thread about it.
