Re: [Apple iPod] iTunes 7.7 full of bull. Brand spanking new problems.

there have been all kinds of reported problems with iTunes 7.7, especially
with connecting/syncing an iPod classic/iPhone/Touch.  There are many reports of iPods not
being recognized at all by iTunes 7.7.  I refuse to install the updated iTunes until
they fix the problem.  Seems pretty severe to me.
Here are just a few of the forums on the Apple support site that talk to the issue.  It's been 2 weeks since
Apple released iTunes 7.7 and still no fix...

There have been some workarounds identified, but IMHO, we shouldn't have to rebuild iTunes libraries
to get iTunes to recognize an iPod...

Subject: [Apple iPod] iTunes 7.7 full of bull. Brand spanking new problems.

I am running 10.4.11 on a Mac Book Pro, latest QuickTime and of course
iTunes 7.7 (43). I bought a few albums at the iTunes store. Upon
downloading, some downloads initiate, then I get "error -61 You are
not allowed to change settings" or something similar to that. Retrying
ultimately downloads all the rest. Then I try to play them. On iTunes
itself and later on the iPod some of the titles are skipped over, no
sound. Which songs get this treatment seems random (per song, not per
occurrence), some also got that error -61 earlier - but not all.
Playing the song in column mode (in the Finder) one hears silence. On
the iPod one song crashed the Pod!

Also, when the computer is done syncing the iPod it is dismounted. I
never had this kind of trouble before. Yikes.
