ITunes Update 7.6 Problems

Question

I am completely amazed like so many of you about ITunes Update 7.6 problems and the failure of anyone from Apple or anywhere else to, at least, acknowledge the problem. I sent the following note to Appleinsider:
"I was wondering why there has been absolutely no mention of the current problems with i-tunes since their recent 7.6 update. There have literally been hundreds upon hundreds of complaints piling up in forums (particularly Apple's). Despite this all major Apple information outlets have been completely silent. I think that most of us long time Apple supporters are getting tired of hearing about I=Phone this and I-Phone that, Apple TV, and more I-Phone as if these are the only current Apple issues. The level of frustration from i-Tune users is palpable out there. We've now even got Apple information sites reporting on the problems of Microsoft's "Office 2008", but still no mention within these sites of i-Tune's problems. No answers or acknowledgement of problems from Apple, none from sites such as Appleinsider, Macrumours, etc.. Apple users are just flabbergasted by all of this. Would you please take a look at this issue yourself. I think you will be shocked. As more and more people continue to download i-Tunes Update 7.6 this is getting worse and worse and Apple thusfar seems to demonstrate it either doesn't care or that it's a problem with a few people. If they read their own forums they have to know that this is far, far from the truth. Apple needs to at least acknowledge the problem or better still pull the update until the problems are fixed with Update 7.7."
Probably won't do anything but I can tell you that I feel just a little bit better!!!!

Answer 1

Every time Apple releases an update to iTunes, there is a large number of people who have problems. But my guess is that this number is a tiny percentage of the hundreds of millions of iTunes users there are (analysts think a million copies of iTunes are downloaded every day). http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/06/12/appleserving_up_1_million_copies_of_itunes_eachday.html If you don't believe me, search these boards for "iTunes 7.5" "iTunes 7.4" "iTunes 7.3" etc.
I'm not trying to minimize your pain. I know it *****, but I have been watching these boards for years now, and this release is no worse than most others.
