Apple warns of bug in music software
The Observer used our newssubmit to tell us that new Apple music software has wiped out the hard drives of some users due to a bug in the installer.
The software, called iTunes 2 is a jukebox program for Mac OS X that also comes with Apples new Ipod. In addition to supporting the new device, iTunes 2 adds the ability to burn CDs with music stored in the MP3 format as well as an equalizer and a feature that allows each song being played to fade into the next.
A bug in some early copies of Apple Computer's iTunes 2 music software has wiped out data from the hard drives of a few people who tried to install the new version of the jukebox program. Apple said the problem, an error in the program that installs the new version of iTunes, affected a "limited number" of Mac owners who were running the Mac OS X operating system and had multiple hard drives or hard drive partition. Apple said it has fixed the problem with a new version and is warning customers to remove the installer. "While this error is highly unlikely to affect most users, Apple strongly advises that anyone who has downloaded the 2.0 version of iTunes for Mac OS X, as well as anyone who has a beta version of iTunes 2.0 for Mac OS X, immediately remove the iTunes.pkg installer file from their system," the company said on its Web site. |
