iTunes 5.0.1

Written on September 20, 2005 by Dan Lurie and 4 people have commented

Apple has released an update to iTunes that will supposedly fix stability issues that some users have been experiencing. This emergency bug fix update follows a recent trend in which Apple releases software that is seemingly not ready for release, such as in the case of OS X 10.4.1, which was released just days after Tiger became available. The update is available via Software Update.

    Seems to be more than just a bugfix:

    iTunes 5 features a new even more powerful instant search, including the new Search Bar which helps you find exactly what you are looking for in iTunes or from among 2 million songs on the Music Store, folders for organizing playlists, and new Parental Controls for music, music sharing and podcasts. iTunes 5.0.1 features several stability improvements over iTunes 5.

    Only the last sentence talks about 5.0.1, the rest is just the generic blurb for iTunes 5.

    I just updated to iTunes 7.1 (59) on OS 10.4.8 and I update manually (more songs on the iPod than on my PowerBook G4), but I can no longer drag tunes into my iPod – they simply don’t move. Anyone else have this problem?

    iTunes 5.0.1 released but woes continue

    Apple released iTunes 5.0 earlier this month, which generated quite a number of complaints from users such as this one by Michael Hyatt. I installed version 5 for Windows and have not experienced any problems with it nor with syncing
