Arrgghhh! Still no dice. itunes 10.5 (under 10.6.8 w/all updates installed) will not launch. Hangs completely every-time. I've reset the pram, fixed disk permissions, reinstalled twice. Still a no go. >
10.5 is working now. But I am back to my original problem when Itunes 10.4 came out. I can not drag drop songs from my library into a new playlist I made. the drag n drop functionality is locked or whatever, will not work. I can right mouse click on the song and use the contextual menus to 'add to" but not the easy drag n drop.
Hence I reverted back to tunes 10.3 and everything was as it should be with the drag n drop functionality.
Any ideas with what the issue could be? I am stumped.
I haven't gotten an answer to this question yet....any help?
"---iCloud will push all my music to my "devices." I have two computers with two different libraries...one at work (PC) and one at home (Mac). I don't want to intermingle these libraries, because my personal stuff is not necessarily appropriate for the school in which I work. I sync my iPhone to the personal computer, obviously. My question is...can I maintain two separate libraries while still using one Apple ID for purchases on each respective machine? Or is iCloud going to unify everything on my devices and my laptops? "
Still not live on the uk site and the ability to re download music, which is the thing I most want, still not live. The beta for wifi sync was amazing though. Love that when my iTunes is open it finds my iPhone and iPad. Can't wait till Friday!
You will still have access to the tracks you've downloaded from iTunes match after your account expires. The only thing you lose is access to downloading the music from Match from computers and devices. If you have all of the files on your computer, they are yours to sync and do whatever with (they are just AAC files without DRM and with a tag saying they're downloaded from iCloud).
Also, I wanted to throw out that Apple is probably going to have a lot of hiccups with Match. Neither iOS not iTunes is "ready"; they both seem like they're getting there but not quite solid yet.
I have at last count 42872 itunes songs. Too bad for me you are limited to 25000.
Wow. Do you guys also like to exercise by jogging along the middle of the freeway at night? Wearing black clothes? Because there is no way in heck I'm going to install 10.5.1. right now. Why be a guinea pig? Wait until the bugs are worked out. I have a 4TB music collection I've collected and tagged extensively over 8 years, and no way, no how, am I going to risk it in even a small way by being an early adopter here. I'm on 10.4.1 and it's served me well. I'm sure it can continue to do so for another month or so, so why should I hurry in switching to 10.5.1. Heck, I'm still on Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and in no hurry to go to Lion. But I'll be happy to read about people's experiences of 10.5.1.

Try starting it in 32-bit mode. I'm sure you know but in case you don't, it's just a tick box in the Get Info window for iTunes. Highlight iTunes in Applications, right-click and Get Info. Or Press CMD-I.
iTunes in the cloud, otherwise known as the ability to re download stuff, was an American exclusive since june I believe. It's listed as coming soon in the uk but no comment from apple or any rumours of when it will go live. Was hoping today or tomorrow as I'm on holiday and used my friends laptop to up grade to GM release and so have no music on my iPhone at the moment. 500 mile drive on Thursday and would love to have some tunes.
It always was with the Windows version because iTunes ran on a QuickTime layer or something. I don't think it matters a lot to Mac users but it's a big deal for Windows users, a lot of whom loath QuickTime for whatever reason and many of whom don't need/want QuickTime for any other use but iTunes.
I have noticed that when I watch a film full screen in iTunes now, even though it appears to be a QuickTime video it doesn't respond to the QuickTime trackpad gestures. I guess the similarities stem from the Cocoa APIs.

Re-downloading stuff is not part of iTunes Match, it's available to everyone as of iTunes 10.5.
iTunes Match means that all your songs obtained from sources other than iTunes can be downloaded from iTunes, giving you 256kbps AAC quality and the ability to download any music you own on a mobile device from anywhere, even if you did not buy that song on iTunes originally.
I believe it's not had the green light for the UK yet, but I'm not certain. It's a fluid situation. Personally, I'm really not interested in it. I think they'll try to charge for a year to two and then give up and make it a standard feature. We'll see.
That's why I said iTunes in the cloud not iTunes match which is supposed to be by early next year. . iTunes match doesn't interest me either. In the cloud does as there have been a few times that I've accidentally lost music that I've bought through not syncing purchases before applying a beta. Would be nice to re download these songs but the whole matching doesn't really seem worth it especially with the new iPhone being 64gb. My collections only just over 34 gb so matching will not be an issue.
Also, I wanted to throw out that Apple is probably going to have a lot of hiccups with Match. Neither iOS not iTunes is "ready"; they both seem like they're getting there but not quite solid yet.
Hrmm...If a similar fate awaits Siri, Apple's flacks will be getting a workout!

You're an outlier (I don't mean that in a bad way), and therefore your experience is of little interest to Apple or a vast majority of its users of iTunes. So it probably does not make a great deal sense for you to berate people about their jogging habits, etc.

I'm just psyched that Quicktime isn't included anymore! 1 small step...
I don't understand - is this a good thing?
Why was Quicktime included in the first place?
