Every upgrade from Apple just finds more ways to irritate me.

Top of my bloatware list is iTunes. It used to be I’d click on an audio file and it would just play (imagine that!). Now, it very often takes the operating system 10 seconds or more to figure out that I mean “stop playing THIS song and play THAT song instead.” Why? I have no idea. Same slow-as-molasses behavior with renaming files.

And... by the way, the upgrade isn’t showing up when I access the app store. Anyone else seeing it?

I don't know what iTunes you are using, but I click on an audio file and it plays. Click on the next one and it plays. No delay. (Imagine that!)... Even using Finder, click on a file and tap the space bar and an audio file will play instantly, a video file will start playing instantly, a document file will show you its contents, instantly. Renaming files? No problem or delay. Have you restarted your system anytime recently?

I read somewhere that iTunes no longer syncs apps to your iPad/iPhone.
