I notice from prior posts that oftentimes there are problems after updating to the more current version of iTunes. I currently have version 7.0, and the apple website indicates 7.6.2 is the most current version of this program. Please explain why I should update.
What benefits are there to updating other than getting to play some of their newer version songs and videos ? Any forewarnings prior to doing so? I don't have external hard drive to backup to.
thanks

Fri, May 30, 2008 - 5:36 PMI'm not totally convinced of that. If you have an older iPod that you synch with and don't buy too much stuff off of iTunes I'd say don't bother. A good number of freeware program out there allow you to pop the lock on ITunes songs you buy online, some allow you to transfer from Mac to PC, etc., etc. Several of the iTunes updates shut out a lot of the more popular freeware out there.
I say don't bother updating. -

thanks - that was my suspicion and I feel better having confirmation of this. MUCH appreciation & thanks. I will forgo the updates (as I had anticipated).

Re: ?? why update iTunes to current versions
Sun, June 1, 2008 - 6:13 AMYou upgrade because most of the time, there are some good bugfixes in the upgrades (particularly is you're currently running a X.0 version).
95% of the time, when people report problems after upgrading, particularly if the problems are related to connecting to the iTunes Store or CDDB, it is because their firewalls/security software/etc hasn't carried over the allowances they made for the previous version of iTunes, and is now blocking the new version of iTunes.
