iTunes

[Jeff Rodriguez]

I've been using it on my PC since the night it came out. I've noticed some glitches. Audio/video playback gets jumpy for me when iTunes is doing anything else (syncing my iPod, downloading or checking podcasts). It also hangs when I put in a CD of any kind.
I hope these small things get ironed out soon.

I haven't had any problems of the such.

Mine lags for about 2 seconds, but it's always done that for me

I downloaded it yesterday and installed it. Now when i go to run iTunes i get an error that in short says, "i'm missing required files, please re-install." so i reintall and i keep getting the error. if i uninstall iYunes will it erase all my music files?

I love iTunes 7, the album cover view, and the ability to search for CD covers is awesome. (Now if only they'd do ID3 tags too) The only issue that I've encountered is that the volume control in the program doesn't work to well, I'm pretty much having the same issue as Jeff (Ogre) I downloaded it the day it came out, and it took till about 9:00 for the music store and all associated functions to work properly. I'm guessing we'll see a revision within 14 days.

iTunes7 has successfully erased my entire iPod. Without my consent. I guess I have to reload everything again. Apple said it was my iPod, but I think it was iTunes 7.

They've been saying that allot lately...On the apple forums (Manley the iPod section) many people have been complaining that once they got iTunes 7 there iPod got erased of everything, it won't turn on anymore, and a few have said that their iPod just plain won't work anymore...which is why i am now very cautious of my iPod...

Mine died for about two days and it actually told me on the screen to contact apple. i let it sit for 48 hours and tried to turn it back on, it has been fine since then, besides the iTunes issue.

did you ever call apple? If so please tell me how, its very hard to find help on the website and calling them about an issue you need like a "help code" or something you get if you purchase some special warrenty...

No but I brought my iPod into my campus store and the lovely boy that worked there helped me out. I went to the apple store in the mall around two weeks ago, that was a bad idea, the people there were rude and did not help. The store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago is helpful.
Calling apple is not going to happen unless you want to call their help desk and they charge around 25 bucks for that and that doesn't always work.

iTunes 7 works flawlessly for me. If you are having problem with iTunes the best way is to trash your library (not the music), and have iTunes rebuild your library from scratch.

If your iPod has died, there is a 95% chance that the Hard Drive has failed. Unfortunately that is the problem with Hard Drives in general. They can't withstand a lot of shock & vibration, especially during a read/write cycle. However it is replaceable, if you choose to do so.

I beg to differ. I've dropped mine from about two stories onto concrete...still works beautifully. I actually dropped it from about 8 feet today onto tile, just got a little scratched. Works fine . My battery is just ...dying.

Back to iTunes...
I've run into a problem, my podcasts are not automatically updating (and I've double checked that it's set to automatically update) and it's pretty vital that I have them update since in my Am. Govt class, we watch CNN Student News, and I take that time to go take care of other stuff on campus, because I can go home and watch it on the podcasts, so if anyone else has had this and knows how to fix it, input is greatly appreciated

Michelle, you have a nano, stolid state.

OK, so i got iTunes running (had uninstall, reinstall) but there is a little thing bothering me now... The little note on top of a CD "iTunes symbol" isn't on the application shortcut... Its picture is an "unknown file type" symbol...And there is no "change icon" button... any ideas how to fix this in the iTunes folder/file? lol....such a little thing to complain about.

[Brian Lesser]

Got it.

No problems here.

I even put in my Shuffle (1GB) and, again, no problems there...

...except for the fact that I only have 52MB left on the thing, but that's another story...
