Q: iTunes 11.2

iTunes 11.2 is absolutely NOT FIXED.

 

Example:

I load a podcast from iTunes to iPod and delete it in iTunes.

I listen to the podcast on my iPod and delete it.

The podcast has reappeared in iTunes, I delete it AGAIN.

The podcast has reappeared on my iPod, I delete it AGAIN.

I realize that iTunes has started putting all of my podcasts in Saved even though I never authorized or agreed to this new behavior. I delete everything from Saved, and then go back to My Episodes to delete the used podcasts AGAIN.

The podcasts are back on my iPod AGAIN, and I delete them AGAIN.

I sync the iPod and the used podcasts are gone... AGAIN... for now.

Now I have Cloud notifiers on the iPod letting me know that I can download all the content I've already listened to, so I delete the Cloud notifiers AGAIN and AGAIN.

 

Extant Issues:

This is besides iTunes telling me over and over AGAIN that it can delete podcasts autmatically after listening. I have set this preference to NO/Don't Delete and it keepsignoring or losing the setting, and then asking AGAIN... for EVERY podcast stream.

 

Also, I've had to unsubscribe and subscribe AGAIN to podcasts to get iTunes to recognize it's own podcast files, and to stop listing podcast feeds twice AGAIN.

 


I still have to randomly wait random minutes for iTunes to endlessly re-scan gapless tracks.

 

iTunes wil still decide to look for album art, for no reason, while I'm in the middle of some other task.

 

iTunes still beachballs at random intervals and I have to either Force-Quit, turn off my WiFi, or occasionally remove the iPod unsafely before I can close it and restart the app.

 

PS. I'm not sure what happened to iTunes, why Apple refuses to publicly address these issues, or where iTunes quality contol has gone? Is anyone beta-testing this software anymore. If Apple isn't interested in fixing these issues would they consider handing development over to a third party?

iTunes, Mac OS X (10.7.5), iPhone 4

    Yes, 11.2.1 has all the same problems. Good luck if it's working for you tho.

    11.2.2

     

    Immediately after install iTunes starts "Determining Gapless Playback Information" AGAIN. I would gladly manually remove Gapless Playback from all tracks but that option was removed several iterations ago.

     

    So far iTunes has not deleted anything without asking... that I've noticed.

     

    The iPod seems to be actually deleting my manually deleted tracks; although I have to delete them under My Episodes and then go to Saved and delete them a second time.

     

    Once deleted from the iPod the tracks continue to show up in the iTunes view of iPod contentsd, though if I double-click on them iTunes updates the icon to "!" and indicates that they are deleted. Previously it would play the not-reall-deleted-file. But when I sync iPod to iTunes it does not indicate any space cleared up by the deleted tracks!

     

    Will continue to update.

    Update: 11.2.2

     

    Recurring: Immediately after install iTunes starts "Determining Gapless Playback Information"AGAIN. I would gladly manually remove Gapless Playback from all tracks but that option was removed several iterations ago.

     

    Fixed: So far iTunes has not deleted anything without asking... that I've noticed.

     

    Fixed-ish: The iPod seems to be actually deleting my manually deleted tracks; although I have to delete them under My Episodes and then go to Saved and delete them a second time.

    But, why must I go to Saved to delete podcasts that I've already deleted?

     

    Recurring: Once deleted from the iPod the tracks continue to show up in the iTunes view of iPod contents, though if I double-click on them iTunes updates the icon to "!" and indicates that they are deleted. Previously it would play the not-really-deleted-file.

    Why doesn't it correctly auto-update the deleted status as in previous versions?

     

    Errata: This one was a mis-observation on my part. But when I sync iPod to iTunes it does not indicate any space cleared up by the deleted tracks!
