Upgrade Fail.

[sechan19]

I was informed recently that my versions of iTunes and Quicktime were ready for upgrade. I debated the upgrade seriously before implementing it - as I always do when it comes to iTunes upgrades. (An upgrade once wiped out some songs I'd purchased from the iTunes store - a result that made me SUPER happy.) In the end, though, I decided it couldn't hurt, and I installed the upgrade, rebooted the computer, and went on about my business.

Today, I opened iTunes. Or, rather, I attempted to open it. And on that attempt I was informed that the version of Quicktime that I had wasn't new enough to work with the version of iTunes that I had. It recommended to me that I reinstall iTunes.

Doing so didn't work, though, of course, and after much frustration I ultimately had to uninstall and then reinstall Quicktime to get the thing to work. (The new interface is unbearably lame, btw. I never should have done it.)

What kind of software provides simultaneous updates of two programs that require one another to work but are incompatible with one another and will subsequently result in program failure?

Oh, right. APPLE software.

*facepalm*

And people wonder why I hate iTunes.

Yeah, I only use it because I was given an iPod. Not ideal, but it was free. And there's that whole thing about gift horses...
