Apple, in their infinite wisdom, has apparently decided they don't want me working that way anymore without making me jump through additional hoops. IMHO, that was a really dumb decision on their part. File - Save As should be back in by default in Mountain Lion. Don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure. What OS are you running, Phil?

You're right. It should look like this again.. This is first major iTunes update in quite sometime SAL. It was completely rewritten, it needed it.

How can you expect anyone to take your thoughts on any apple product seriously as you are without a doubt the biggest fan boy / kool aid drinker regarding Apple.

Members fuzzface71 Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 The new update is just so unnecessary. It's also missing the "cover flow" that I love! Also, I hate the fact that when you're signed in to your iTunes account. iCloud shows all the purchases that you've already deleted, that you didn't want!

Well I generally back up what I'm saying with reasons. I'm an Apple fanboy because I like what they do. And I do my best to help out anyone having Apple trouble here, so I'm fairly knowledgeable with what I'm talking about. Whats not simple with the new iTunes to you? Coming from 10, yes it is a change, but not a huge one. Theres even a guided tour if you're having trouble navigating the program. The biggest thing about it is that it's now a full 64 bit cocoa app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Another minor annoyance... their labeling the OS releases with cat names. It's too clever and cutesy by half IMO. It's also annoying and confusing. Why not just say ten point whatever? All the cat names do is confuse those who haven't memorized the sequence. Which is earlier - panther, tiger or snow leopard? Sure YOU know Travis - you're a power user... but for joe schmoe who just uses the thing, they probably have no idea, and even Apple isn't consistent with what they call things; referring to something as Lion or whatever in one sentence and in another doc, referring to the release by numerical value (10.X) I ran into this just the other day when trying to determine what, if anything, I could install into my wife's old Mac Mini to make it software compatible with her new iPhone 4S so we could load some of her things from iTunes into the phone, etc. She was running 10.4.11 (I have no idea which cat that is... ) and I wanted to make sure whatever OS upgrade I ordered would not only work with the computer (old Core Duo 1.66 GHz with 2GB RAM - slow by today's standards, but sufficient for her limited needs), but allow it to work with the phone. It was needlessly complex having to try to go back and forth between two different "names" for the same thing. I ordered her a OS 10.6 install disk, which I am pretty sure will do what she needs it to do for the phone and iTunes, while also still being compatible with her old machine.

Members deanmass Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 I have been back on macs since the Titanium g4 powerbook came out, and this version of iTunes stands as the most buggy. I don't want the damned album coverscas default, I do not like that I cannot double click the menu bar and collapse the window ( as I can in EVERY other mac program), and I don't like the settings options being more lmited. Plus, while havingit integrated into the OS for YEARS, you still can't color code files ( like mp3 s green and aac blue, etc). This release sucks.

I can see where you're coming from there. Being a fanboi it's always been pretty easy for me to keep up with it, but if you're not following it, I bet it can get a little confusing.

I've had zero bugs whatsoever And the things you listed have never been 'needed' for me, so I would've never noticed them. It's good to hear it though.

Members triviani Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 Indeed , I miss the "save as" thing, super useful to let YOU organize your documents, not to let Apple the control about it. Didn't update to the latest version yet, mountain side white lion or whatelse, didn't find any of the "new" characteristics appealing to download it.

Maybe it's a sign that I am stuck in the 20th century but I occasionally like to be able to burn CDs so that I can listen to them in my non-iPod ready 2006 car.

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 The iTunes update has been a major pain in my a$s. Not sure how, but it blew out the album artwork on about 20% of my albums. I'm not crazy about the new layout either.I haven't tried Spotify yet... I use Pandora all the time. But the one thing I love about iTunes is the customization of Playlists, genres, comments, EQ, release year, etc. If Spotify doesn't do this, then it isn't a replacement for me.

Members Amigo Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 I think apple's exclusivity and inflexibility with their software will eventually lead to their decline in popularity. I like apple products, but my God is apple greasy in how they limit you in only using their stuff. For example, I email myself a song that I recorded. I can listen to it on my email but my iphone will not let me download it and save it onto my device. This is because I'm not using itunes to download the mp3. Apple is so concerned that you buy everything through them that they prevent you from performing basic functions.I know jailbreaking my phone can change this, but why should I have to "jailbreak" something, why is it in jail to begin with? Same thing with introducing apple maps. Forcing you into inferior and less flexible software simply because they own it and can profit off of it. I have also noticed that forced software upgrades slow down older devices to the point where you are almost forced to buy a new model to keep your sanity. Apple is getting very annoying and yet they are still able to charge almost double the price for the same spec'd pc. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
