I am one of those El Capitan users who were unable to use iTunes 12.3.1. Does iTunes 12.3.2 eliminate those problems, or is it as bad as its predecessor? Is it safe to upgrade?
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), MacPro 5,1, with 2.8GHz quad-core
What problems? The possibility of problems exists with any software version. They change from version to version. I would also say that 90% of the problems I see solved here are the user. 🙂
iTunes 12.3.1 was incredibly slow for El Capitan users. Mostly you just got a spinning beachball. Don't you remember the conversations on here about these problems? It was completely unusable.

Incorrect.
This is like walking into an emergency room at a hospital and concluding "Wow, the whole world has nothing but very sick people!!"
My iTunes 12.3.1 (and 12.3.2) worked/works just fine.
Well I guess I'm going to have to scroll back through months of posts to find the one that neither of you "problem solvers" managed to see. It was a HUGE post, with page after page of people saying they had the same problem and some kind souls telling us how to remove 12.3.1 and go back to the previous version, which still works ok. You two are rude and ignorant!
Millions (probably tens of millions) of folks have used iTunes 12.3 without reporting issues.
Okay, are they saying that about 12.3.2? If not then there's your answer.
By the way even 140 posts out of tens if not hundreds of millions of users is a very small %.
Funny, my updater only lists 12.3.2. Where did you get 12.3.3?
Try the App store 🙂 for El Capitan update
There are complaints about each and every software version for almost every device and company.
There are rarely wide spread systemic issues.
I, nor anyone I personally know, has ever had an issue with a software update.
The point is, they are all o.k..
A very small percentage of people have an issue with every update on every platform with every company. Of that small percentage, most issues are self inflicted.
The odds of having a problem are very small.
Hi ,
I understand your concerns. Sadly most software will have problems one time or another. Apple listens and learns from people like us on these sites. What may be a problem for me, may never happen to others, as they don't use iTunes in the same way I do.
That being said, iTunes still has a few glitches but hopefully they will be ironed out in the next update. The main annoyance for me is sorting out artist that go astray. There isn't a problem in that area that has beat me yet.
Give the new iTunes a go.. Any problems, let us know. We are on here to help, be polite and care.
I am here to say I totally agree with scoogy2 - iTunes 12.3.1 was a huge mess for many of use users. It was soooooo slow in going from one task to another. The spinning "beachball" is all we saw after upgrading to El Capitan and iTunes 12.3.1. So don't give us that it was user problems. I have also not upgraded to the newest versions of either - until I'm convinced the problems are addressed.
Thank you, Cosmic Rocker. I installed the new update, and it works great. I'd say it is safe for you to update.
Well ok then. Can you tell me if there are any noticeable changes to iTunes after the upgrade? In other words are playlists still the same, etc.? Thanks for letting me know,
Is new iTunes 12.3.2 ok?
