iTunes 8.2.1?

Any real valid reason to get this? From what I read, it was only released to block iTunes use by a very small number of users.

Active: iMac (G5, G4), Powerbook G4, iPhone, iPod, MP2100 Retired: iMac G3, A2c, Mac OS X (10.4.11), Mac OS 10.5.6, Mac OS 9.2.2, iPhone OS 2.2.1, Newton OS 2.1

Which Apple may well consider a valid reason. Perhaps the question you're asking is what the changes are? I know someone did post a link but I can't find it right off. It was w/in the last day or so so it should be pretty easy to find.

Best of luck.

As is common with these updates, Apple has said only unspecified "bug fixes".

But I don't consider that a valid reason for ME to install it. This looks like it is definitely one I can ignore.

Yeah, that isn't very informative. I sometimes wonder if it is just "boilerplate". I think I'll skip this one.

It seems harmless enough.

I feel that every update is a necessity and can help rule out the error I sometimes find that exists between my chair and keyboard...

I've owned 15-20 Macs since 1987 (6 currently between my wife and me, desktops and laptops) as well as 10+ iPods and 3 iPhones. I have converted numerous PC users to Mac (at least 10). I am an iTunes store user, with $200 spent so far (yes, less than some but more than many).

After suffering with the iPhones and AT&T for 2 years, I recently bought Palm Pres for my wife and me because I wanted a physical keyboard and Sprint service. Apple has for 2 years refused to give people what they wanted: cut and paste

Huh? David, I have cut-and-paste on my iPhone 3GS. Apple is continually making an excellent product better, though there are features I couldn't care less about such as SMS & MMS.

Good luck with your Pre as Palm is a dying company, which is too bad as I used to be an avid Palm PDA user.
