I woke up this morning to the tune of iTunes 4.5 and iPod Software 2.2, and quickly installed both as I ate breakfast. I never wait to install the latest Software Updates from Apple, but might have to begin to rethink my habit as in the last week I have been noticing a few more problems.
The Airport Update 3.4 has been accused of drastically reducing airport range, and people weren’t happy. But apple quickly pulled it and fixed the problem.
Tonight I tried to download Franz Ferdinand’s album and have had lots of trouble.
First I couldn’t log into the music store – it told me to try again later because of an error.
After two tries at logging in I got in, and bought the album. But as it was downloading I got an error disconnecting me from the store, error 402 or 405. I did what the error dielog recommended me – do Advanced -> Check for Purchased Music…, but just got the same error again about ten seconds later.
Now whenever I try to check I just get an error -50, “an unknown error has occurred.”
I think iTunes even caused a kernel panic on my machine earlier today! Hopefully Apple gets this together, and I get the next seven tracks on my album.
I’m gonna try again in the morning.
