iTunes 9.0.3 Released: Includes Important Bug Fixes
#1
Apple has just released iTunes v9.0.3 and is now available via software update. The new release provides a number of bug fixes, as mentioned in the release note:
* iTunes no longer ignores your “Remember password for purchases” setting.
* Addresses problems with syncing some Smart Playlists and Podcasts with iPod.
* Resolves a problem recognizing when iPod is connected.
* Addresses issues that affect stability and performance.
For those using jailbroken iPhone, as always, you probably have the same question in your mind: Is the new release of iTunes compatible with jailbroken iPhone. From my preliminary test, there is no problem with jailbroken iPhone. It is quite safe for jailbreaker to upgrade.
Still using iTunes v8 or lower… Time to Upgrade
If you’re still using older version of iTunes, it is highly recommended to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes. back in September, Apple announced a major upgrade of iTunes to version 9 that brought us lots of interesting features. Let me highlight some of them:
* An improved look and feel – Includes a new Column Browser for easily browsing your artists or albums, movies, TV shows, and more.
* A brand new look for iTunes store – Improved navigation for quick and easy exploration.
* iTunes LP and iTunes Extras – Create unique **********s that feature exclusive interviews, videos, photos, and more.
* Home Sharing – Helps you manage your family’s iTunes collection between computers in your home. Now you can automatically transfer new purchases.
* Genius Mixes – Let you play songs from your library that go great together.
* Home Screen Organization – Now iPod and iPhone syncing allows you to organize your iPhone and iPod touch home screens directly in iTunes (see below image). Syncing is now also more flexible, allowing you to sync individual artists, genres, or TV show and Podcast episodes.
* iTunes U – iTunes U items are now organized into their own section in your iTunes library.
