If you want iTunes 7.7, you can download it here.
Do you want your 8-track player with a USB or Firewire connection?
Airtunes - Dropouts. Things were pretty much rock solid pre-8. Now every once in a while it'll chop up and drop sound, and then come back.
iTunes 8 must use a whole different manner of iTunes in some way, shape or form, as in 7 it would connect to speakers every time a track/selection was played. Now it seems to connect once when starting.

I have the same exact problem. I can select the speakers in the drop down menu, but when it tries to connect, I get a -3256 error. My roommate's PC can connect to them just fine. We are both running iTunes 8, btw. Before upgrading, everything worked fine.
Anyone else experiencing this or have any solutions?!
i dunno if this a bug or if this is some sort of new feature but whenever i click on anything in the sidebar it makes this really annoying sound and it cannot be turned off by a setting. if this is a new feature they need a kill switch because after the first few times it's driving me crazy already.
update: whey i close the genius sidebar the noise stops. ??

System Preferences > Security > Firewall > check "Allow all incoming connections"
Restart iTunes.
Will checking "allow all incoming connections" put my computer at risk? I connect to the internet through my university's campus wide wireless connection and I don't want my computer to be vulnerable just so I can use AirTunes.
^^^ more so at Tech than UVA
I'd advise to use:
That's exactly what doesn't work with iTunes 8. That's what I changed it from, in order to make it work, while talking to Apple Tech Support.
Your AirTunes plays over your university's wireless network? So you have your AirPort Express available to the whole campus?
No, I have my own wireless network at home, but every day I use my laptop in classes where I connect to the university's wireless network. If I have the firewall set so all incoming connections are allowed while connected to the campus network, is it easier to gain access to my computer?
I guess I could switch the firewall setting every time that I want to listen through AirTunes, but it worked before iTunes 8 so I shouldn't have to go through the hassle.

Very helpful link, thank you! I downgraded and finally got a functioning iTunes (albeit 7.7), so long as I don't dare to click on the Music Store (that produces an instant crash). I then tried upgrading again to iTunes 8, only to have the same problem of an instant crash upon launch. ARRRGGHH.
I think I'd even take the 8-track player with a SCSI connection right now.
can't update itouch to 2.1 software, error message
Is anyone else getting an unknown error message from Itunes when you try to update the 2.1 software on the itouch?

i don't have a touch but macworld.com is reporting that many people are having trouble upgrading to 2.1
Is there a way to adjust the Genius Sidebar width? Like half of the song names get cut off with the default width, and I can't figure out how to adjust it.
Haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere. I always have my preferences set to use a shopping cart in the store. No accidental one-click purchase "oops, Apple just got richer" for me!
But the preference was mysteriously reset to use one-click after upgrading. Bug or insidious new "feature"?

Read the discussion at Apple's support page. It may help.
A lot of people seem to be having this problem.

Mine didn't reset and I also use the cart.
The itunes 8's equalizer ain't play well. I have a number of configured equalizer setting for different type of music which i assign to individual songs. Let say i have this song played on "Preamp2" equalizer and after i play other song that on "Preamp" equalizer, it wont automatic change back to song that configure with Preamp2. This is Bug or what?
Did they remove the "compilation" checkbox? I noticed a lot of my music is back to being separated in to multiple albums if something is screwed up somewhere in the ID3 tags (that i can't figure out). I used to select all the songs and click the compilation and it puts them under one album in the coverflow or the new grid. I didn't see that anymore when i was playing with it this morning.
window positioning bug
I only played with it for a few hours on two different computers but both had a bug where the iTunes window would appear with the top bar buried behind the menu bar at the top of the screen. This happened on a third computer to a friend of mine and she kind of freaked out because it's not obvious to the average user how to get the window back down again.
I told her to restart iTunes and it would fix itself (easier than trying to explain how to deal with it), but when iTunes restarted, it was still up there. I had to manoeuvre it down manually. If this happens every time I open it from now on I'm going to be pretty frustrated pretty fast
I got one that I haven't seen mentioned but it's a bit silly...
