iTunes tips&tricks Add comments

A couple of hours ago, Apple released the newest version of its iTunes software, named “iTunes 8.0.1″.

For Apple standards, this release came with a quite verbose release not, naming the following changes:

Seamlessly plays the current song when creating a new Genius playlist.
Improves syncing spoken menus to iPod nano.
Addresses an issue of deleting HD TV episodes when downloading.
Improves checking for updates from the App Store
Improves accessibility with VoiceOver.
Addresses problems syncing Genius results to iPod.

The update is 58MB big and can be downloaded either directly from the website, or using your Mac’s built-in “Software Update”.

For those of you with jailbroken devices: there are reports that jailbroken iPhones won’t sync with this new version of iTunes. A complete restart of iTunes should, however, fix this problem.

  Well… you don’t have to reboot Macs after the update of iTunes. Probably a Windows restart also fixes the problem.

A question, with a lot of previous upgrades of iTunes the pwn programmes dont work if you need to restore. Any ideas if this will happen again?

Work just fine, this wasn’t a major update; I even synced .ipa apps (cracked) to the Iphone with the new Itunes - no problems…

  Just make sure you leave iTunes completely (using Command+Q on your Mac, ALT+F4 on your Windows) and also kill the Helper Applications.
  Or just reboot that machine.

On MAC, sync worked perfectly AFTER restarting twice
