What is so new about iTunes 7.1?

I am the first to admit that technically challenged is not even a fair assessment about my electronic difficiencies, but I cannot figure out what the difference is between iTunes 7.0 and the new 7.1. Could someone please assist my obvious inability to grasp this concept? Thanks in advance.

there was some useful information in the readme "About iTunes" this time. in terms of new features and a bunch of the major changes, it says:
Using iTunes 7.1, you can now enjoy your favorite iTunes movies, TV shows, music, and more from the comfort of your living room with Apple TV. iTunes 7.1 also supports a new full screen Cover Flow and improved sorting options to let you decide how iTunes should sort your favorite artists, albums, and songs.
iTunes 7.1 addresses a number of compatibility issues with Windows Vista.
there's a new version of the CD driver .dll (2.0.6.2 rather than 2.0.6.1). not sure if that's all Vista related, or if it helps with some XP and 2000 issues too.
new version of QuickTime in there: 7.1.5 rather than 7.1.3. some security improvements came with that. see:
Apple security updates
... i also keep an eye on the following page:
Articles modified in last 7 days
if the past is any guide, some other info on bug fixes and new features will trickle through there (in the form of new/modified articles) over the next couple of weeks or so.

What can I do about itunes freezing everytime I try to do something substantial like erase all my duplicates

Where is your library file? If it is on a network share rather than a local disk that can cause a big slowdown.
Every change in the library requires that all smart playlists are reevaluated and the library is rewritten to disc. As your library grows the time taken to perform these actions will grow exponentially rather than linearly.
As to duplicates, I've written a script called DeDuper which you might find useful. See this thread for background.

So what's really new in iTunes Match 10.52?

10.52 was released today, and I've installed it. I was hoping it would deal better with a bunch of albums I've imported where it can match some of the songs, but not all of them. I actually logged it, and will put it in another post. But my initial tests don't show any differences.
So what actually IS different in iTunes Match 10.52? As someone who uses this, I'd like to know.

Eric is correct. The link is to a page that shows what's new in 10.52, The very first paragraph states:
About iTunes 10.5.2
iTunes 10.5.2 includes several improvements for iTunes Match and fixes an audio distortion problem when playing or importing certain CDs.

What's Apple Doing about iTunes 7.7 bugs?

Does anyone know if Apple has even acknowledged the problems with itunes 7.7? I have searched the site and found nothing official from Apple — very frustrating. I know they are dealing with the mobileme debacle but it been two weeks already.
When can we expect a fix for itunes 7.7?
since updating to iTunes7.7 I get the spinning beach ball each time I connect my ipod.
I have been an loyal apple user since 1993 and I don't ever remember a time when apple dropped the ball like this. I hope this is not a sign of things to come as perhaps apple is becoming a victim of their own success.

NYC Guy,
This is a user to user forum, so it's not likely that anyone on here has the answer that you want, and if they do, they probably can't or won't post it. Apple has never been very public about what it's working on. I don't think they are ignoring the feedback coming from their users, I just don't think they are announcing what's going on every step of the way. iTunes v7.7.1 was released today, and some users are reporting that it's fixed issues they've been seeing. Prior to this update, some people reported getting the issue of iTunes hanging when mounting an iPod resolved by recreating their library file:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
Give that if iTunes 7.7.1 doesn't solve what you're seeing.
dbolt,
It sounds like your iTunes Library file has been somehow changed, or recreated. This would prompt that warning to appear, preventing the iPhone from automatically syncing to potentially foreign content, and replacing what's currently on the iPhone.
You can try to import iTunes Music Library.xml into iTunes:
File > Import
This file is located in ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml
BTW, Apps purchased from the iTunes store can be downloaded again for free should you lose the original file. Act as though you're going to purchase the app again and you'll receive a message stating you've already purchased the item, with an offer to download again for free.
SantafeNM,
Have you phoned AppleCare support regarding this issue?
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
If both of your Macs are affected by this issue it sounds as though your network may have a firewall issue, especially if your router has a built in firewall with settings that may not be readily accessible.

Switching from pc to a MAC!! What should I know about iTunes switching??

Well I am finally getting a Macbook Pro. What I need to know is: I have an iPhone and use my pc for syncing. I am getting rid of my pc and getting a macbook. The macbook will be my main iTunes server. Should I save any iTunes files from my pc before I make the switch? Or will I just install iTunes on the mac and sync?

welcome to the bright side of computing, kw83028 !
these reads will help with the transition: one and two.
if you have an iPod, you may find this post by Zevoneer helpful.
good luck !

What is "Other" data in iTunes for my iPhone? And why is it over a GB?

In iTunes, my iPhone reports I have 1.6GB of "Other" data. It appeared immediately after I deleted and unsubscribed from a podcast (via iTunes) which had 24 large videos, and then sync'd with my iPhone (which was running out of space).
The podcasts appeared to be removed from my iPhone, however I still had no space and I saw that now I had this 1.6GB of other stuff.
I had a look around for answers on this and the default answer given is "restore your iPhone". So I did a backup and then did a restore to that backup. I don't have an earlier backup (except one that's from last year) and I really don't want to lose my app data and settings.
The restore didn't remove the 1.6GB of data.
So the question is, am I right in assuming the 1.6GB of other data is the left over podcasts that are now corrupt somehow? Or is it something else? i.e. What constitutes "other" data?
Second, any other ideas how to get rid of that other data?
Thank
Boz

Other that large is corrupt data. Normally, a restore from backup fixes things.
So, I discovered something new about iTunes today. The "Restore from backup" context menu option that appears when you click your iOS device in the Devices tree on the left of iTunes, is different from the "Restore" button that you get on the Summary tab for your device.
"Restore from backup" just does an restore from backup. Whereas the Restore button does a restore and then restore from backup. Make sense? Hmm.
This distinctly different functionality is not clear to the user, indeed the advice I was given above was to "Restore from backup", which in this instance is not what is needed to clear out the "Other" data.
In summary, to fix my problem I:
- performed a complete Backup (from iOS Device context menu)
- performed a Restore (clicked Restore button on Summary tab)
- after device is reset with latest iOS software, chose latest backup
My other data shrank to 0.2Gb, and as an added bonus another 1.4 GB of other space was freed up from Apps and Video, even though I can't find anything missing, so I suspect there was other non-"Other" data that was cleared out by this procedure.

What is new in iTunes 6.0.1

hello to everybody! just noticed that apple has released a new version of itunes (6.0.1)
does anyone know what's new about it?
TY

hi bo!

"iTunes Library file cannot be saved". What is this all about?

At regular intervals, when using iTunes, I will click on something, for example the search box and a box will appear saying "the iTunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough privileges for this operation". Can anyone tell me what this is all about? It doesn't seem to have any adverse effect, but it is very annoying.

Well, I"m on a Mac and have the same issue and have not updated to the latest iTunes. I'm still on 8.2.0. The "cannot save iTunes library file" message just started out of the blue more or less when I was trying to figure out why downloads to my iPhone took so long to finish all of a sudden. I moved the preferences file to the desktop so it would create a new one and it was after that that I started getting the message. Now it occurs every time I remove a podcast or make any changes to the library list. Between that annoyance and having to reboot my computer every time I want to update my iPhone because that's the only way to get it to make the sync without it crawling like a snail, I find I"m getting really fed up with the whole thing. There are so many of us with the same problem that you'd think Apple would address it and fix it.

So what's new in iTunes 10?

Besides the obvious... it would be nice if Apple made a complete list of changes to the program available. I can't even count the number of times I'd be doing something in iTunes only to discover a new option/tab/etc... that probably existed 5 updates ago.
I am marking this for a question for the sake of someone maybe telling me some new things, but feel free to discuss what you think of the new version thus far, because that is kind of what I'm going for here...
I have a long list of minor complaints about itunes, but the only relevant complaint I have with itunes 10 is the new color scheme, eg: there isn't one.

I'm aware of that page, but there is often hundreds of other additions that are never mentioned there, or anywhere on the site at all... for example, all the smart playlists additions in (not so) recent versions were never mentioned there, nor (I think) were the addition of skip counts. There's all kinds of things apple adds into to itunes with every release - which I do appreciate... I'm just saying...
Imagine if your wife/mom/whatever called your cable company and added channels to your cable package (and paid for them herself), but never told you about it... Sure it was nice of her, but you won't ever notice, until two months later when you are flipping through channels, and you leave it on Showtime long enough to notice there's actually a picture there....

HT4913 Trying to add new macbook air to itunes match. process starts but never succeeds. works for a while then give error about itunes server.

Trying to add my new Macbook Air to iTunes match. Process starts but goes nowhere. After some time I get error about iTunes server losing connection. Help! I want to access all my music.

Hi Rob- I'm guessing it has something to do with all the update stuff Apple keeps doing (with Yosemite, etc.,) extremely frustrating - also whenever I load up iTunes on any of my devices- I am asked to enter my passcode- which I will do- then I am asked to do it 2 or 3 more times - right after the other- crazy how annoying something like that can be- I have looked online for solutions- i.e. close out of the account, reset the passcode- all of it- nothing seems to fix that situation either- what I have discovered (playing around) is on my iPhone 6+ if I go to settings and turn OFF iTunes match- then turn it back ON- suddenly all the music that wasn't loaded shows up magically- but I had to do that each time I'd update songs in my playlist on the iMac- then go to the iPhone and turn off the match- then turn it back on- almost like it is resetting things-

What is the solution about some trouble with itunes 10.5?

My PC : windows 7 My product is ipod Touch 4g.
I installed new version itunes 10.5 and iOS 5 On October 21 st 2011 but it has problems:
I can´t open itunes store and I can´t sync my ipod! .. what happen?... Please I need a solution about this problem.!

The solution for me was to completely uninstall PC Tools Spyware doctor with Antivirus and then do a complete reinstall. Just disabling the program will not work.
There are other solutions to the problem of not being able to access the itunes store in other threads.

I have just bought an iPhone 5 and it won't sync to iTunes. It says it needs iTunes 10.7, which I have downloaded and installed. I still get the error message and looking at "about iTunes" it says 10.6.3. What do I do??

Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:
Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Restart the Computer. This sometimes happens to me when I keep my Windows 7 on Sleep, and I try to sync my Ipod
Make sure you have the latest version of Itunes
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!
