There'll be an update out soon enough as there have been the last 100 times "this is the worst release ever, apple no longer Q&A's things" blah blah blah. No issues I've run into have been as bad as system 7.5.2 back in 1995 which would give me in the range of 5 full system crashes an hour with any network activity, and it took several months for 7.5.3 to be released to at least reduce that to a couple of crashes a day instead...
It is strange this one isn't 100% reproduceable, some people are running into multiple crashes, others like myself have had no crashes, same versions, similar amounts of content. (personally, I found iTunes 10.6 actually improved its performance on some spinning wheel issues I was having with iTunes 10.5.3 and the wifi syncing)
the 10.6.8 security update was at least 100% reproduceable, that was something that probably should have been caught before release. It also affected software more important to people getting things done than iTunes which really is more luxury software.
Hello BriabM_WPG, …although your insinuatingly slanderous response deserves no feedback, I felt compelled to address it nonetheless. As such, it is only logical for one to presume from your post, that their have been absolutely NO advancements in technology and/or software development over the last 17-years (your quote of 1995). Therefore leaving us all to believe that debacles, such as this iTunes v10.6 release, is to be nothing more than normal day to day affairs. Correct? I mean, is that not the illogical point you're attempting to make from the second paragraph of your post? How could it be construed as anything but?
In today's (my quote of current time) day and age of technology, one should not have to suffer from such, especially not as much as nearly two decades ago. And as far as this being 100% reproducible, I can reproduce it 100% of the time all day long on ALL of my Mac's, even ones with clean OS installs. Have you ever worked in the field of software development, UI design, and/or software QA? Well, I personally have, hence my experience in such matters.
You made a statement in your first paragraph (quote; if you really were all of those things), …well, I really was, and am all that I have submitted here. Should anyone need to be questioned, I would question your claim of iTunes v10.6 being not only flawless, but superior to iTunes v10.5.3 in performance, as would most others who have posted to this thread in my opinion. As a matter of fact, if your iTunes v10.6 is so outstandingly flawless in both performance and function, then why have you visited this thread at all? …let alone, taken the time to even add a response?
In closing BrianM_WPG, the only thing positive out of your statement was your belief that an update is coming soon. Well, thanks for the needless information, for which everyone here already knows. Of course an update will be released, such is inevitable. Because unlike you and your comment (iTunes which really is more luxury software), Apple places a much higher importance on the software application that their entire line of iOS devices operate with (iPhone, iPod, & iPad). And I'm certain as such, that they place far more importance on it than writing it off as a so called luxury piece of software. Unfortunately in this case, Apple's software QA department has made a major blunder.
In any regard, everyone here simply wants a resolution sooner than later, as this luxury piece of software as you put it, has become a major player in most people's lives who have iPhones, iPods, & iPads. You, I'm assuming must have none. Or on the rare chance you have, its more than evident it is not used as much as the rest of us. Otherwise, logic would dictate if would be far more important to you.
