- Buschaga, on 10/12/2007, -9/+73Thank gawd. iTunes 7 has some great new features but it's one of the buggiest pieces of software I've seen from Apple in a long, long time. This isn't Mac OS 10.1 anymore, guys... shoddy software won't fly. Especially when it's the software engine of your billion-dollar iPod business.
Let's hope it fixes the crackling speakers and other strange problems my PC-using friends are experiencing. - Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -2/+37..bug is still there, still quits fullscreen when you try and pause in fullscreen, darn.
- jessecollins, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33that is classic, please tell me that you re-checked every mp3 manually.
- markcrules, on 10/12/2007, -10/+39I am waiting for them to fix that bug thats been there for a long time, I think its called 'Quicktime' :)
- alexdagrate, on 10/12/2007, -4/+33Yeah, digg needs to change the duplicate story system. Sometimes using the same link is necessary.
- yakk0dotorg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20select all, right click, then choose the option to check the selected files.
- cybernezumi, on 10/12/2007, -6/+24I would have linked to the more logical http://www.apple.com/itunes/download but another speculative story from last week had linked to that url...
- Nocturnal, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19I agree completely. Something integrated like FireFox where you just download the .exe and then have it do its thang and then restart itself. Simple as 123.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21Direct EXE download link: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iTunes7/Win/061-2768.20060926.tnwN1/iTunesSetup.exe
- smeager, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Here is the link to their support page for the 7.0.1 update:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes701.html - Phyltre, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19In the defense of some people, they still have to use dialup and it's STILL an overnight-or-more download.
- Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Sarcasm aside, you are right! Quicktime is buggy, and especially buggy when it's trying to open the quicktime guide when the app is launched.
- Saint3k, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15The bug which causes the mouse scroll wheel to not function in iTunes when iTunes is placed on a second monitor to the left or top of the primary monitor has still not been fixed.
I am dissapointed. :( - yakk0dotorg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13just download it manually.
- jer.williams, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I think the issue with the duplicate story system is all the "Digg this!" links around the Internet. Currently those links take you to a submission page whether it's been submitted already or not, and if it's already been submitted you don't get much extraneous information like you used to. It's basically readable and diggable, like a normal story (it just has a big red bar at the top of the screen).
What we really need is a way for Digg to intelligently direct traffic from those "Digg this!" buttons to a submission page or to a story. I'm sure some of that VC money can inspire someone to figure it out. - antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9You guys should report it to Digg team. I also support this idea.
- HMTKSteve, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12But did they fix the 00:01 start time on podcasts bug yet???
- WallaceStevens, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Windows Media Player is a piece of garbage no matter what platform its put on.
- Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11About time, this should sort out most of the things that upset people, fingers crossed. Downloading now. I'll report back to let you know do iTunes videos now pause in fullscreen without quitting fullscreen, and the video. That was the bug which annoyed me.
- Bokista, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8@CamoChris
You neglected to mention that people can rip their own CDs into the library, they don't all have to come from iTMS. - blablaman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Wtf? How do you manage to find digg, create an account, find an article, and post a comment, but not realize that there might be a right-click=>select all option in software as simple as iTunes?
- OAKsider, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Apple has fixed it all for me, and hopefully most. Was having serious problems - unplayable distortion , skipping when multitasking, etc - all common with iTunes 7.0. Switching to 16-bit or less via Quicktime prefs was the only (half-assed) remedy, and WiMP started to get more playtime.
So the big news for me: The 7.0.1.8 update allows 96+kHz, 24-bit, 5.1+ channel playback again, with no need for Safe Mode. The sound quality is back, at least. - warnergt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5If you can't uninstall QuickTime, go here:
http://forums.techguy.org/all-other-software/461336-cant-uninstall-quicktime.html
Remove every trace of QuickTime (remove files and use regedit).
Then, use the Microsoft "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
Then, you can install the new iTunes/QuickTime.
That worked for me. - kevnaca, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6It actually fixed the 24bit audio problem. My music is now prestine at 24bit in quicktime audio tab. No more garbled static or distorted sounds when there is another audio source playing. So far everything is working great. Thank u Apple.
- djbelieve, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7@ warnerqt:
Thanks. It worked this time with the addition of the Windows Install Clean Up application. What a pain in the ass this has all been, though.
@ Apple Fanboys: I'm guessing you're the ones modding me down. Don't tell me I should be using a Mac. I never had this sort of problem with WinAmp. Apple isn't perfect. - solarisom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4All of your replies to meepzork are sensible. But does anyone think the image of him checking 12000 songs is hysterical?
- BluParadox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4That would work if the songs he wanted checked were the first 12000, but I'm guessing a more realistic scenario is that it is like ever other song. There isn't really an easy way for that.
- Clodagh, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8That annoyed me too, and will continue to, ty.
- jeriqo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Heh, if you uncheck everything, don't ask why your iPod deletes everything.
- JackassMcGee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5You can also CTRL+click a group of files - artist, album, etc. to select/deselect them all.
- mesostinky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Quicktime on windows is garbage. It is easily the slowest most inefficient media player ever made. And it keep getting slower with every version. I just can't understand why the hell Apple can't hire some decent programmers to fix the speed and bloat issues?
I actually like Itunes(well except for the painfully slow scrolling in ITMS) but QT has got to go. There are a ton of OSS decoding libraries out there Apple, pick one and put QT out to pasture. - MadChicken, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6The word you're looking for is "snappier"
- michaelcorcoran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3apple click the first song in a list. all the rest will follow.
- cbbspike, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I do
- KriLL3.2™, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It fixes the horrible playback bugs, none of the suggestions worked for me except only having audio come from itunes, had to mute everything else, now it works again! (XP sp2 SB Audigy 2 ZS with latest drivers)
- supremo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I upgraded my 3 Macs (G5,Powerbook,Intel Mac Mini) with Itunes 7 and I didn't experience any problems. My library consists of 4500 songs and about 100 vidcasts, 50 movies/tvshows, both purchased and ripped music. None of my friends experienced any problems either. I think Itunes 7 rocks.
But a coworker installed Itunes today on his Windows laptop (newer model).. and it was sluggish on it. I mean, it runs excellent on my old 1.33 Ghz powerbook. But I guess Apple developing for Windows is like Microsoft developing software for OS X.. the apps kind of sucks.. Windows Media Player on OS X anyone? - Saint3k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It only happens with Windows machines.
- CamoChris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I hope this fixes the problems I was having. I'd get really poor playback quality, with loads of static (and the occasional pop) and sometimes, when I launched it, it would come up with a dialog box/progress bar thing saying Windows was configuring it, almost as though it was reinstalling itself (a new iTunes folder on the start menu would also be added, just like when you install it).
- joshHighland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2my friends computer wouldnt import cds through itunes 7 until we upgraded it to 7.01. weak
- trkinsley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2OK, found my fix thanks to the itunes forum.
Uninstall spycatcher... and install goes without a hitch. Windows XP, btw.
This corrected my hang at "registering modules" problem.
Hope it helps someone else - edzieba, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Crackling is fixed, but skipping isn't. If I have a song playing in iTunes, changing tabs in Firefox, scrolling too fast, or clicking a 'show comment' link on Digg will make the track start to skip. All other media players have no problem (Foobar, VLC, Winamp, MPC). I just wish I could use Quicktime Alternative instead of Quicktime itself.
- daigakuinsei, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ Bokista
If you want to load all your music but just a couple playlists, you need to also make a playlist that contains all your music and be sure you have it checked under the playlist selection section.
Rather annoying, but that seems to be the way it goes right now. My issue with syncing is that iTunes 7 took nearly 10 minutes every time I connected just to start doing any actual syncing. Version 6 was never that slow. - Bokista, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I wish it would tell me which things they fixed with syncing. For example, does my iPod REALLY need to delete all of my songs before it can sync two small playlists for the first time? You need to be able to check just the boxes for the playlists you want to sync instead of first being forced to sync the whole thing.
Has anybody else had this issue? - FallenWings, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2On another note, I was just able to get iTunes up to 573 MB of system RAM by scrolling through coverflow from end to end in a 3000 song library. Been watching it for a few minutes, and it's not purging it yet.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Get a new computer, coverflow was not meant for g3.
Possibly your g card doesnt support core-image. - notfred, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3... or even shorter, "Apple"A (Control-A on Windows), right-click, Check Selection.
- Sibre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You know, there's this really nifty hidden feature in iTunes that could have helped you with that....it's called a playlist....
...now if they could just make it an even more obvious feature. People might actually be able to organize their music collection.
[/sarcasm] - gweedo767, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Well, CoverFlow still runs like turd on my PC. 1.83ghz Core Duo + 1GB RAM + Geforce 7800Go.
- CamoChris, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Or you can select or deselect your whole library (in Windows, not sure about the Mac version) by holding control and clicking any of the check boxes next to your songs.
- jonnyboy88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You'd think that they would have an incremental patch or something to save people from downloading all of it over again.
