Is there a bug in 7.7?

Just upgraded to 7.7 and now itunes won't run at all. ( it all worked perfectly until I upgraded!) I don't get any error messages just the spinning beach ball. Force quit tells me its not responding and my whole system starts playing up. ( mouse runs slow then jumps around and force quit button needs several presses) Once i tunes has quit everything works fine again.

Any one know of any issues or fixes? I'm running 10.4.11 on an older G5 dual 1.8

G5,G4,G3,Performa and even a Mac aquarium!

Sorry guys ( and girls) just realised this is an ipod problem! Everything is fine as long as I don't have the ipod connected. I'll take a look at the ipod section to see if I can sort it. Thanks for looking.

There most definitely does seem to be a bug. I had the exact same problem. Normally there shouldn't ever be a problem when starting iTunes with the iPhone or iPod connected. I ran into another problem as well, seems there's definitely a hiccup or two in there.

I did the same as you, though. Forced a quit and disconnected my iPhone. Restarted, got iTunes running, then plugged it in. After resolving the other problem (iTunes library location got changed), everything seems fine.
