Comments on: My iTunes 9 caught the flu http://www.geardiary.com/2009/09/16/my-itunes-9-caught-the-flu/ Everyone can understand technology; sometimes it just takes a little translating.

I've also lost the ability to sync contacts and calendars with my Nano 4G - iTunes insists that I have none, offers to start iCal (or Address Book) for me to create some, and, there they are, in their glory, unable to sync. I do seem to recall that there were similar problems going to iTunes 8. I was going to wait a couple of weeks to switch, but, for some reason, I always do this . . . Anyway, so far it's not been that bad - no lost data, everything else is fine. Mine has crashed a couple of times – both times when I was trying to play a preview in the iTunes Store.

So far, though I have not had any problems with iTunes 9. I like the new features relating to the management of content on my devices, but the jury is still out on the store reorganization - some good some bad. Performance wise - it seems ok to me on my 2007 Macbook Pro. Not any slower or more prone to failure than iTunes 8 - so far.

Red Faction, Batman, Resident Evil 5, Dawn of Magic 2, Steam re-release of the whole Jedi Knight collection ... all in one week?!?

I thought it funny that while Dan was reading my message about how I felt iTunes 9 was buggy -- that his iTunes crashed.

I'm wondering if the changes to the OS, which included some modifications to the IPv6 stack, may be involved with this... since iTunes 9 also has to reach the Apple servers to do most of its non-local features, and usually connects just to get cover artwork, among other things.
