0 PyX Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I assume by your sig that you are on Windows. I would like to enlighten you, but I didn’t have this "repair" option on Mac OS X, I only had "Install" so I installed the final version over beta 9. Don’t you get options when you click on remove? Like when you uninstall a game and you keep the game saves ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Martog Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 What's the build number on beta 9? I have 10.5.0.142 on the final, they might be the same build number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Xenomorph Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I have 10.5.0.113 as well. I'm just going to uninstall, reboot, then install 10.5 final from apple.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Elliott Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 10.5 final won't have iTunes Match, so if you're testing that, get the recently released iTunes 10.5.1 beta. If you're not, just grab the direct download of 10.5 from Apple's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Elliot B. Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 I uninstalled the beta and installed the final and my iPhone backups/syncs were unaffected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Konstanov Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Your iPhone/iPad backups are stored separately from the iTunes files, and are always going to be unaffected by installation/uninstallation of iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Martog Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Evidently having iTunes Match is what causes it as I went from 10.5 B7 to final no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 +unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted October 13, 2011 Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 13, 2011 I installed the beta version of iTunes on Saturday so I could install the GM iOS 5 on my phone. Last night I got the "this copy is due to expire soon" message. I downloaded iTunes 10.5 from Apple and installed over the top of the beta. Now when I start iTunes it keeps on hanging and I have to close it from the task manager. Now it wont even last 30 seconds before hanging. I've tried re-installation and opening it with a new profile, same problem. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
