Yeah Apple fixed their monetary damages...
but why the F are we all still waiting for a Java update on a serious security hole???

I hate the site but Ryan is usually objective. Apples latest moves are seriously damaging my loyalty to them. Not that i think losing money is a strong business objective either.

How so ?
Step by Step please because I've been doing this all day and now it doesn't work
You are aware that AAC is not Apple's proprietary format, and that iTunes' mp3 encoder is inferior, right?
After Alcatel-Lucent's big payday from Microsoft over mp3's, I wouldn't consider it non-proprietary.
MP3 is technically proprietary. The open source encoder, LAME, is (I think) reversed engineered???
Here is the direct Apple link to iTunes 7.4 not 7.4.1 for mac os x. I saw no one had posted this so I looked it up and found it for those of you who'd like it:

Ok, English isn't your first language... and THIS does NOT sync. I wish I could get the error msg to come up again...
I installed a custom ringtone earlier today, using the file renaming method (create .m4a file, rename to .m4r, open with iTunes, select for sync in the "Ringtones" tab of the iPhone page, sync). After installing the iTunes 7.4.1 update, my new ringtone was still on the "Ringtones" tab, but syncing removed it from the list of Ringtones on my iPhone. iToner restored it, and subsequent syncs did NOT remove it.
version tracker has iTunes 7.4 as well
when you select the version 7.4 and hit download it say's in the next page that its 7.4.1 but it is really downloading 7.4

just scroll down and click the download Apple iTunes version 7.4. the link below it is for the current version
i downloaded it from there and it seems to be 7.4. then i downloaded the current version to see if they didn't try to pull a fast one. but they didnt

Why is everyone doing this 7.4 / 7.4.1 dance?
You know next week they're going to release the new firmware for the iPhone, and it's going to have some stupid requirement that you need to have 7.4.1 running to install it.
What are you going to do? Stay at 7.4 forever?
If you want ringtones (and some freedom) over your phone, hack it. Simplest solution and the best.

I don't use iTunes to encode mp3 files. I use other programs. There are a lot that produce very good quality files.
I'm not aware of the Alcatel/Lucent/Microsoft issue. You got a link?
Still, mp3 is much better supported across the board than AAC on the hardware that I have, so that's what I'll be sticking to.

Just found this link.... haven't tried it..

The new trick has been found....
(Would try it myself if I could remove these "phantom" ringtone references in my iTunes library)
Edit: Whoops, I'm 5 minutes too late, I guess. (Serves me right for going downstairs for a snack.)

Unless it has iChat and enhancements to the mail application, I see no large incentive to apply the new firmware. As it is, I see no real good reason to be using 1.01 or 1.02, but at least they have been hackable.
With at least 2 native ichat-style applications available today to hacked iphones, the only thing I really want now is a better mail reader.

try this MacPrince, I found it on another site:
To remove ringtones from the ringtones tab in iTunes, first delete the ringtones from the "ringtones" folder in the finder, then rebuild your iTunes database according to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
If this works, then perhaps Apple had trouble making up their mind on which extension to use. This whole thing sounds weird.
That's so weird that you change the file extension to .m4a. How the heck does the phone recognize that it is a ringtone then and not a song??? I don't have an iPhone so I can't play. I have an iPod touch coming if that counts lol.
