iTunes update: 7.4.2 is out

WARNING Forget ringtones - update 7.4.2 completely erased my iTunes library! I run both Tiger and Panther on seperate system discs and the installation was while running in Panther. Had to use a previous iTunes library file and copied iTunes 7.4.1 over from the Tiger disc

I desperately need itunes 7.4.1 for mac! Itunes store wont connect and I need 7.4.1 for my iphone. I did a restore on it and it won't activate now. Please someone help me out ASAP!

HI. I need desperately itunes 7.4.1.dmg... Could you upload it somewhere ? Many thanks for your help !

does anyone have the 7.4.1 i need it and i cant get it anywere...

quite simply: don't upgrade iTunes and wait for the next hacks to unlock it. Or wait for another year when Apple will have moved on to a 2 gen iphone and won't be bothering with this one.

I hope they realise how frustrating this is to the non-iPhone owning end user, too. Last night my wife looked up from her MacBook and groaned "ANOTHER iTunes update?!"

Jools G4 explained the motivations perfectly, but to counter: Apple really needs to temper record label expectations. Every other major phone manufacturer out there allows for the use of MP3s or downloaded MIDI files as ringtones. They even cite this as a feature.

Sure, in the short term, these restrictions might force one or two people to buy a ringtone, but at the end of the day, you are alienating many potential customers by removing even the illusion of choice.

I still can't sync purchases from iTunes... it stopped working last weekend with "iTunes is temporarily unavailable". I even tried clearing out my iTunes library, but even that doesn't work...

Now, my phone may be FUBAR, but after installing iTunes 7.4.2, the / directory of my iPhone is read only:


root@feh ~ # mount
/dev/disk0s1 on / (hfs, local, read-only, noatime)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/disk0s2 on /private/var (hfs, local, noexec, noatime)

Of course, you can still add ringtones by creating a Ringtones directory off of /private/var/root/Library and dropping your ringtones in there....

Curiously, all the ringtones I added are still there... And I now can't update (or delete) anything via installer.pp :(

These updates are getting quite annoying for non-iPhone users.

Another?
