iTunes 8.0.1 released

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. :)
