First off, it won't play anything. i've rebooted computer and nothing.
I open itunes, press play, double click... nothing will make the songs play.

but that's not all (more vitriolic itombs bashing here.....) i also hate that everytime i open it... it has to "load libary"... well that's just a bunch of funckin boolchit.
right?

help grately appreciated.

But how do you really feel?

Seriously, I have zero problems on several Macs AND PCs, so it's not the software itself...

And watch the language-misspelling bad words doesn't make 'em less bad.

I have to say that here, most things seem ok with itunes latest update but it does not do what it says it will when updating ipod with podcasts. I ask for just unlistened to ones to be left on my ipod and it is pretty random. I do get unlistened ones left but not all of them. Very Very Very annoyong!!

No problems here. None of what you describe.

excuse my fraunchy...

but what's up w/ "loading library"... that's a load of horse apples if ya' ask me!

I never see any "loading library" messages. Ever. I have a few issues (like managing keeping my library on a network drive and the delay in response because of the network's speed), but I have seen no "memory hogging," bizare graphics issues, nor problems getting things to run. Maybe you should try reinstalling 7.0.1...

The loading library is there to remind you that iTunes is starting up. It still had to load the library before, but now it visualizes it for you. How is that bad?

It's not, it's basic human computer interface rules: If a process takes longer than 2 seconds give a visual indication.

that's cool but i think i figured out the problem. i'm using a protools digi 001 as my "soundcard" to play out of my g4. it probably doesn't work w/ the version of protools i have.
