Just turn on iTunes!<\/p>\n

I swear, after the latest update to iTunes I’ve had more crashes and slow shitty operation than I can ever remember having.<\/p>\n

\"NewImage\"<\/p>\n

My computer is a very busy machine. As a general rule I have many applications and processes running all the time.<\/p>\n

It’s not uncommon for me to have several file copies running at once. Plus routine backups, and various downloads running Via Safari or FTP.<\/p>\n

Often there are so many processes running that I honestly forget how much my computer is doing while I’m typing away on a blog or working on the book.<\/p>\n

That is until I think, “Hey I meant to load that application on my iPad.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

Then I’ll bring up iTunes and watch hours of work and backups and file copies turn to shit.<\/p>\n

I thought programs in the Apple OS were supposed to be sandboxed. I thought I was supposed to be able to kill programs that had fucked themselves over without having to worry about other programs being disrupted on the system.<\/p>\n

Not if iTunes <\/strong>decides to hose you.<\/p>\n

How can one single program fuck itself over, then fuck over file copies and the ability to save files in 3 other applications?<\/p>\n

How can one single Apple Written and sanctioned program refuse a Force Quit<\/strong> Command? How can that same program prevent<\/strong> access to the UNIX Terminal where I could issue a Kill command directly to the OS?<\/p>\n

How can one signal entertainment program violate all the rules and seize control of the system in such a way that only a hard power down will return control to me The User!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Talk about a way to really piss off a user…<\/strong><\/p>\n

I shouldn’t have to shutdown every other program to use iTunes but that is clearly what I’m going to have to start doing. <\/p>\n
