...hmmm, SW update is running suspiciously slow... the only available update is quicktime 7.5.5. - updating right now...

After restart another update - Front Row 2.1.6. still no iTunes 8.0 :-(

"Your Software is Up to Date" after running SW update and "This version of iTunes (7.7.1) is the current version" after running iTunes update

Have you manually downloaded the update ?

Quicktime avaiable too...

DOES work on Hackintosh, can confirm

works pretty good in my hack!!!

Downloaded manually or via SW update ?

I downloaded manually quicktime 7.5.5 and itunes 8 and then I ran setup, if you have efi and vanilla kernel you will be fine.

works great on my Hack with Efi+Vanilla

Thanx, yep running 100% vanilla system... anyway, how come that this update is not available via SW Update in Sys. Profiler or iTunes Update ?!

I've installed on kalyway 10.5.2 non vanilla EFI and iTunes does load up, unsure if it will reboot but for now seems stable on mine.

Has Itunes or quicktime updates ever broken a hack? I certainly can't remember

confirmed working great on leo4allv3, dunno if ppl are havin problems.. didnt read the thread. haha

just wanna say... the new view is sick! i love it!

Well I remember when I was using Tiger, don't know the version but I think efi was not available yet and every-time I updated to a new quicktime or itunes I was unable to open it, in reality my hack never failed but I was just unable to play videos or open itunes. Thanks to the EFI emulator we have the same advantage as a real Mac.

Also a Front Row update......when done in this order:

Went to itunes.com and downloaded latest manually.

Installed.

Did software update...it found quicktime and front row...

rebooted

Everything working on my vanilla kernel system.

Interesting, 'Genius' seems to think that Alphabeat and Radiohead belong in the same playlist.

Also, they keep trying to sell me stuff I don't want to buy.

And iTunes won't update my iPod.

quicktime is now available via sw update

itunes not yet




i guess they try to reduce the load on there servers

leo4all on an amd system running 10.5.4 modbin 940

downloaded iTunes 8 manually - installs fine, runs fine

downloaded 2.1 for my touch, it downloaded fine, installed fine, verified fine, but on reboot of the device it said only 2.0.2 was installed. Connecting the touch to iTunes has iTunes say that 2.1 is available, I tell it to download and install, and I get an error that the resource is not available.

dmn my iTunes is crashing after launching it.

I'm using a amd machine with chameleon efi :/

edit: also quicktime is crashing.

iTunes 8, QT 7.5.5 and FR works fine on Hack - boot132+RetailDVD+Chamelion

BTW, how do you like the new visualizer ?!

New visualiser? Loving it

It's very great
Well Done Apple

Front Row, Quicktime and iTunes updated and working fine.

Works Great on my system (specs below). Running iATKOS 10.5.4 everything vanilla. I don't notice any speed/ performance improvements. Only a new visualizer (very nice if I may add), and that genius sidebar.

I can say that this genius thing is slow....really slow.

Its been "gathering information about my library" for over an hour now.

In case people are wondering I have 13,414 songs using 101.59gb

OMG this is very big library, hour is very good for this library

Wouldn't be iTunes had a better database system...

60 mb for iTunes installer.

Bloat.

Works Great with, Vanilla Hack, Retail 132, EFiX™, and Real Apple Hardware. HERE

Not that its broken anybodys machine yet, but i'd like to point out that its running fine, if not a little laggy (due to the crapness of the processor) on an SSE2 Leopard machine..

Haven't tried out the Front Row or Quicktime updates, but my guess is that they'll run fine..

Really appreciate the advice.

I will let to discover new iTunes features -- aka use "Genius" -- when going to bed. Got an external USB drive on Airport Extreme with about 300Gb AAC files...

Performed all updates (iTunes 8 too) via Software Update, everything ok

anyone more AMD users try this VIA Zeph's updater?

Works fine on my vanilla hackintosh rig but that is the deal with Genius?

I'm just gonna let Apple look at my private database of music? And what for, so they can just sell me more music?

Most of my music, like my operating system, are courtesy of a man with an addiction to rum, a patch over one eye, a hook for a hand, and parrot on the shoulder.

Enough of big brother looking over my shoulder.

Get stuffed Jobs!!!

Got home after it finished up the genius so I can't give a time on how long the final process took.

From how it looked before I left I'm guessing about 90 min for that library of mine.

Tried genius....honestly....it was putting stuff together I never would.

It might get better as more people upload their libraries and their current playlists (I'm sure it looks a those), but as of right now I turned it off.

The sidebar was driving me nuts...couldn't figure out how to turn it off. Just want the button on the bottom and then for it to make a playlist...no need for the sidebar.

Definitely not worth the effort in my opinion for the suggestions it gave. Especially since it looks like it doesn't actually look at the songs more than the titles.

For example, I have a Chris Cornell Acoustic show of him doing one of his Audioslave songs. It couldn't find the song in its database to suggest others cause I had his solo version checked, not the full (there are differences between the two). So I don't think its looking at bpm or anything like that...just titles and artists...and if you have something in your library that isn't in the itunes store...good luck on that.

My itunes 8 is now working
I just had to patch the cpuids.

I'm happy because I really like itunes 8

iTunes 8 + QuickTime + FronRow updates safe for AMD Hackintoshes. Use Marvin's AMD Patcher

I'm loving the new Album View!!!!

iTunes keeps on crashing since updating, it's when I few any coverflow or anything involving animation. Likewise with QT

Runs fine on my Kalyway-based 10.5.4 install.

The new album view seems a little sluggish to me though. Mainly scrolling through everything for the first time, while it loads covers.

Genius works fairly well for me as well.

@dcook...
what did you expect? lol

Just sayin'

[updated my sig after you posted. not that it affects anything lol]

iTunes 8 working superb at my HackBook.

I have the same problem. I'm using kalyway 10.5.2 on an AMD. Did you get the problem figured out or will I have to downgrade?

With AMD you have to use Zephyroth's Software Update.

my library is 627.23gb, i won't let itunes touch it! i'll let it play music from the drive but won't let it organize it. i already have everything sorted by genre. i'd rather not have it sorted into folders by artist and album. it would take me too long to find everything in scratchlive.

Oh...it never sorts my music!!! Are you kidding?!?!?

I actually sort it myself...but strangely in the same method it does (artist - album - song, etc...)

But I do have one off songs instead of full albums in folders under each artist called various (if I only have one song from an album and stuff)

It took that long for "Genius" to look at my music to tell me what should go with what.

And like I said..I don't think it actually looks at the details..only what you got...what that matches in the store....cause thats all that it seems to figure out.

And then makes recommendations based on that. Only stuff that's available in the store (not meaning you bought it there - but the artist - song combo better be there for it)

Should the quicktime update required for it be fine in general on most hackintoshes? iv got kalyway, to be specific.
