[iTunes] is it safe to upgrade now?

Hello Becca,
	 I definitely agree with Ken on backing up before you install iTunes 10. This backup needs to be to a device that you can disconnect so that when your system automatically backs up after you install iTunes 10 it does not overwrite the iTunes 09. It emphasizes because when you install iTunes 10 iTunes 09 will no longer be available to you. Of course if you have it on a CD/DVD then you can reinstall iTunes 09.

I also agree that I’ve not had any problem whatsoever with iTunes 10. No crashes no hesitation the only thing that might rub your nerves the wrong way is the three little dots red yellow-green that were horizontal are now vertical. There were people who just whined and cried about it. LOL

Go for it.

David

 Have a great day

So far, so good.  He loves the program especially where he can play his music through remote speakers from iTunes.  Make a backup of your system then upgrade to iTunes 10.  That way you can revert if you don't like it.

I don't have an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch - we're all using old Nanos. but today, when I went to sync my iPod, it seems to have lost all my podcasts (the podcast names are there, the episodes "can't be found" and when I try to refresh my podcasts, nothing happens. I tried to do a connectivity test, and iTunes froze and had to be forceably shut down.)
