As speaking as someone who likes and uses iTunes (just not with Squeeze anymore) I haven't been able to get iTunes to install on my Vista machine since 7.5! I have tried all the suggestions about removing every component of iTunes/Quick Time, cleaning out the registry and several other things. Everytime I get the same errors and iTunes won't run and I have to reinstall my last good computer back-up to get back to the state my computer was in with a working iTunes. So no Apple does not magically put out stuff that doesn't "break" machines. Yes Apple does lots of good things and I like their software, but it's gotten to the point it is so bloated with stuff I don't need and no way to get a working version on my machine. Sure if it really becomes an issue I can pay to have someone come out and hopefully fix it, but really should one have to pay to get software to work? Thankfully my Win 7 laptop runs the newer versions fine. But in the year I've had Squeezebox Server, I haven't run into any problems close to what I've had with iTunes, not had to go digging thru the registry to find conflicts or having it install extra stuff that I don't want or need and I like iTunes.
And it seems like most of the posts on the iTunes Forum is the "my iTunes was working, then I installed the lastest update and now it won't run, help!" posts. So really that doesn't seem all that much different than how you say things are here. Except the users here can ususally work with people enough to see what broke the install and fix it, at the iTunes forum it's usually try this and maybe you'll get lucky. -- rayman1701 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rayman1701's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88215 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
