So, my iTunes is running fine... and suddenly Apple begins bugging me to update to fix some reliability and stability problems I've never encountered. After the fiftieth or so popup(which blatantly ignored my DO NOT REMIND ME checked box) I finally update to 9.0.whatever the hell. And now CRITICAL ERRORS OUT THE NUTSACK. Way to fix an imaginary problem, Apple. Note: It was a legit (albeit craptastic) update, not a virus. __________________  |

Certain versions of Windows and certain versions of iTunes work fine. In fact, the older versions were just fine. Then it was when I went to update that everything hit the wall and ARGHABRALSFBASLABGWLEG You get the picture. | |

I'm planning on upgrading to WinAmp sometime this week (since iTunes takes up a ridiculous amount of space anyway.) From my previous experiences, it's soooo much better. |

| Janitor  Join Date: May 2000 Gender: Posts: 11,471 Thanks: 14 Thanked 1,296 Times in 536 Posts | Don't look at me--My grandparents bought me an iPod I didn't even ask for. Huh. Well, now I'm glad I'm refusing all those "UPDATE TO 9.0 HURRRR" notices whenever I open the program. Relief that's only barely blotched by the fact another consumer had to suffer to alert others of this. But thanks anyway, Mushi. |

And I must say, it blows anything Apple can try to bribe me with out of the water. Note: I'm posting from it's built-in web brower right now. __________________ |

| Senior Member | Perhaps some pictures or a video to show us your problems with Itunes would help us figure out what your problem is. We might be able to help you fix this problem. I use Itunes 9.0 and it works PERFECT. Your errors on Itunes confuses me because 1. You gave no description and 2. It sounds pretty insane for an error. |

iTunes 9.0 works only on some configurations. You, having a working one, don't seem to realize there are others which don't work. Just because yours works perfectly does not mean you can magically fix porting issues on another platform. Thus, your help is appreciated, but, not needed or... likely to solve the problem, because it's a problem with the program itself. I got it working on mine, but only after literally hacking the application. Now, if he wants to hack the application to make it work, then that can be explained, but otherwise... this is a closed case. | |
