iTunes 7.1 Release

I have a problem with this new iTunes. I'm running WinXP Pro SP2 2002 and never had this problem with iTunes until the new one came out. I have considered reinstalling, but I'm not sure if I'll lose my library. When I try to set iTunes 7.1 to the "Default Audio Player" it gives me the error that I do not have enough user priveleges, though I am the only Admin on this computer. Suggestions?

That happens every now and again for me. For some reason, the installer puts very restrictive permissions on the filetype keys related to itunes so you can't manually change them. I usually notice it when I open up contextedit and get an error. In the past I've had to change permissions manually with regedit but I've also used a mass registry permissions changer as well . Try changing the default app for file types in explorer by right-click->Properties->Open With...

Alright, but this really sucks because Zune, for some reason, always resets it so that it is the default music player, and I can't do anything about that in the Options menu anyway. Also... if I reinstall it (since I get the MultiPlugin error) will my library still be there? Thanks.

#446155

If you just reinstall over your current installation, yes. You should always back up your library file anyway.

#446160

Alright, reinstalled over iTunes. Everything is working fine! Thanks!

your music library will never be touched when installing a newer version of iTunes over another.

I also had the problem with the Mute/Unmute hotkeys. that really mad me p!$$3d. I didnt know it was iTunes until i checked back here...

Still getting that MPPlugin error, but everything else works fine... I'll live!

meh. iTunes. yucky. With WMP, you dont need to worry 'bout bugs! meh heh

#446403

hmmm....

That reasoning doesn't really follow because when I had XP, iTunes never crashed. Now that I switched to Vista, iTunes always crashes on close.

#446426

Vista already? How is it? I know, sort of off topic. So, MSEM, you have a Zune?

#446464

iTunes is not fully compatible with Vista as of yet. Microsoft and Apple are working together (yes you heard me right, TOGETHER) on fixing it! Hence on itunes' website it still says Windows 2000 or XP recommended...

#446468

Wow... working together? Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. You don't see them in the same sentence unless there is a "hate each other" inserted in between them! I hope they can work out something soon... as with all the other products concerning Vista compatibility... want it ASAP.

correction. iTunes v7.1.1.5

Hmmm... I yet have to install it, but at least site said 7.1.1...

Has anyone noticed sever memory leaks in the last two updates of iTunes? If I leave the player on for long enough, it reaches up to 990 Mb of RAM...which cannot be explained by anything but a memory leak...

Upon start up it seems normal, but a few minutes in, it climbs up to about 200 Mb of RAM usage...I don't know what's going on.

It's currently using a library of 106 gigs...would that cause the ridiculous memory usage?

#448414

no such problem noticed here at my end.... in fact I've iTunes 7.1 installed in 4 systems and none shows any symptoms of memory leaks.

Hi,

Sorry for not posting here since the iTunes 7.1 release.

I'm having a hard time making Multi-Plugin compatible with iTunes 7.1.

Some features like iPod Hebrew support and even the iTunes menu got totally broken.

But I'll fix them eventually.

#448656

Hmmmm.... I used to get a message saying that "iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close" on my laptop. But that was at 6.0.2. (And Firefox 2's spell check doesn't know about iTunes.

Any ideas on how long it will take till its released? Missin the Media Keys Feature and the skins.

#448874

iTunes 7 on Mac isn't much better :mad: I hate that new GUI

#448876

hey folks.... just came across this forum.... was looking to apply skins to itunes or what not...but i read that the new itunes is not compatible with the multi plug in yet.... all good.... the problem i'm having is the cover flow view...... not looking at all as slick as the screenshots i've seen on the web....

here's mine.....

don't diss me cause of the 50 cent...just played the first thing i saw...hahahhaha

and here's what i see it's supposed to look like....

needless to say mine looks like a commadore 64 and i'm wishing i could go back to itunes 6 right now..... any ideas on what might cause this or what i can do?

thanks.
