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

People who post on tech support forums are there because they have
problems. The people who don't have problems, don't post. Therefore,
your sample is highly skewed.

I, for, example, downloaded 7.7 the first day it was available,
version 2.0 for my Touch as soon as it was available and have had no
(zip, zero, nada) problems.

One should always have good back ups and exercise caution when
upgrading. However, there's caution and then there's fear mongering.

Best of luck.
