iTunes 5 Released


Recommended Posts

Thanks God is not just me... it's freaking annoying!!!

But I got a work around for it... well, quite a workaround...

You most open Fire Fox and logon into the forum and leave it running while you do your stuff on Safari... so far this is the only way I have found to keep on using Safari cuz I don't like FF...

Weird thing is that this issue with white pages loading on the forum just started happening about 3 or 4 days ago... I also got a weird issue where I was writing a reply and when I submitted the post it appeared under my brother?s name.

Take a look at the post I?m talking about? https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=367893

It IS freaking annoying! I cannot take it much longer. I randomly get a white page when neowinning.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, which has a glossy menubar ;) But I'm a smartass.

Hey just a question while we're at it:

I have this really weird problem on my Mac running the latest Safari 2 version with the forum, when going to neowin.net it just randomly blanks out: Blank page nothing else. I have to refresh like 20 billion times before it reappears, I recently formatted and the problem remains.

Any thoughts? :unsure:

make sure you use www. in the url when you browse to the page :)

Apple is being a sneaky ******..

One thing they didn't mention in iTune 5 is that.. they included Bonjour as part of the installation. One more service that runs in your background and sucks away your system memory.

I actually tried Bonjour as a separate product before, and it did not do much for me as I never had the need for it. Worse, it actually messed up my networking properties, causing my network to go down.

I had to uninstall Bonjour to get my network up and running again. Very sucky.

see, its part of os x so i hardly notice. it is neat to share though.

/me grabs iTunes v5.0 and QuickTime v7.0.2 through Software Update

also, to anybody who doesnt know what Bonjour is, it's Apples ZeroConf networking technology, it allows programs to automatically find other programs running on other systems

iTunes shared library feature uses it.

I do use www.  it's in my bookmark.

same here and it only happens in Safari and it may be related to the update Safari got a few days ago just around the same time the problem with Neowin forums loading white pages started to occur... :blink: :huh: :wacko: :no:

In order to view the search bar, go to Edit>Show Search Bar  :)

No..that wasnt my question, sorry.

In 4.9 my settings were set to automatically update my iPod if I added anything to my library. After I installed 5, it started to put songs that were already on my iPod back (Athough they were never "deleted" in the first place). It just rewrote over something that it claimed was missing, when it never was. I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them, and if they can explain this to me.

bonjour fails to start on my system, i get an error during installation and i have to cancel.?:angry::

at this point, from task manager, end all the installation service like msiexec service and some other itunes installer... worked for me.. It happens because Bonjour depends on some other crap service to run and many people have disabled and and thus bonjour fails..

make sure you use www. in the url when you browse to the page :)

There's always www in there, if there isn't it corrects it automatically. So that's not it...

From what I can see it's something Safari related, it started after installing the latest Safari update.

I run into this problem with a few websites when using Safari 1.3 (still on Panther), it is really annoying. Websites that I remember that go blank are imdb.com and dictionary.com, meaning I would have to either 'refresh like 20 billion times before it reappears' or go onto Firefox and then view it from there. It hasn't actually happened before or at the very least, rarely, but recently it frequently does it.

I don't like seeing my podcast when I select Library. Showing the searchbar CTRL-SHIFT-B let you select Music which hides them... but clicking away and back to library bring back the podcasts. Mixing it with music is a dumb ass idea! Fortunatly, we can create a smartplaylist that exclude podcasts and then showing the Browse CTRL-B...  But still I don't like that new "feature"

I thought maybe I was the only one who was experiencing this problem, the Podcasts even show up under 'Artists' on my iPod which is fairly annoying.

Nonetheless, I think the new iTunes is great.

can someone help me, installed itunes 5 but as soon as i start it it just crashes again :(

and when i go to the download page at www.apple.com/uk not www.apple.com the part of the page with the lnk in it is a page cannot be displayed error what is up with that?

in the end i had to get the US english version is that why it is crashing?

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
