After installing this virus on my computer I suddenly shuddered at what I had done. This iOS is good for small children or even grade school youngsters, although for those of us that have grown up over the past 2 decades using various versions of the Apple OS platform it’s a big disapointment. I have an iPhone and iPad, they serve their purpose, but turing my workstation into a big iPad is/was a terrible idea. I hesitate to call Apple as a company arrogant, but I do believe they are a bit blinded by their success. Steve Job’s obsession with the whole “i” culture he’s created has him dillussional.
I believe that the entire team over there at Apple needs to disband, spread out across the country, and reunite at the end of the year with their collective new perspective and fix this mess. Snow Leopard is now reinstated on my primary workstation and will stay there until it’s rendered obsolete.

Fortunately, it still finds and plays Shared libraries from other computers. Just the local iTunes Library is not recognised anymore.

I will miss Front Row on my lap top, but will not install OS on the iMac because I want to keep it there, plus the iMac is 2008. Great informative site. Apple could make an announcement.

It’s blocked from iTunes end. Apple severed the connection with the 10.4 iTunes update. They could be rebuilding it and might sell it back to us through the app store? Wishful thinking me thinks.

The hack doesn’t work, Front Row won’t find your Music, Movies, etc… it is still blocked in Front Row.

Front Row is a great program, they need to re-enable it ASAP.

This is an example of why I’ve been coming here first lately instead of engadget… problem presented, third party solutions summarized, simple resolution to problem offered by way of hack. A perfect tech news article.
