Apple Releases iTunes 9.1 To Sync With iPad; Prevents Tethered Jailbroken iPhones From Syncing [Updated]

iTunes 9

Apple has just released iTunes 9.1, which according to the release notes brings several new features and improvements such as support for iPad syncing including eBook content and greater customization of Genius Mixes just as we had reported earlier today.

It is available via Apple Software update and is 97.3 MB in size.

According to the release notes, iTunes 9.1 includes several new features and improvements such as:

  • Sync with iPad to enjoy your favorite music, movies, TV shows, books and more on the go
  • Organize and sync books you've downloaded from iBooks on iPad or added to your iTunes library
  • Rename, rearrange, or remove Genius Mixes

It is also rumored that iTunes will get a new Books Section around the same time as the iPad launch. Apple is likely to replace the existing "Audiobooks" category on iTunes with a more comprehensive "Books" section. The new section is expected to make content organization easier by only displaying those ebooks that are compatible with the device being synced. 

You can download iTunes 9.1 from this link or via Apple Software update.

Please don’t forget to let us know how it goes.

Update 1:

MobileCrunch and ModMyI are reporting that iTunes 9.1 does not sync with tethered jailbroken iPhones and iPod Touch. So if you have jailbroken your iPhone then it might be safer to avoid updating iTunes until there is more clarity on the issue.

Update 2:

According to iH8Sn0w, developer of Sn0wbreeze, it seems that blackra1n or iTunes 9.1 syncing issues are occurring for Windows users only, Mac OS X doesn't seem to have such issues. He has also released a fix for Blackra1n for Windows users to fix iTunes 9.1.

    hey Tagart…thanks for being an ASS. it's not like we have enough ASSES around here. we could always use another ASS.

    since you're sooo smart, maybe you'll know if i'm being sarcastic or not.
    please keep your shit to yourself if you don't have anything decent to contribute with.

    people come to sites like this for help..and if you say.."go google it", it's like saying.."i don't know either"..or "i'm better than you because i know and you don't".

    why don't you use your smartASS brain to say something else useful.

    btw..knowledge is only potential power..if you don't know what to do with the "answer"..it means absolutely nothing.

    I swear..people that BASH other people never really think how stupid they sound.

    I totally agree with you that ppl come here for answers and yes there are in deed answers here to be found, the search function at the top of this page is very useful in finding those answers. This is why I provide links. No I don't feel that links are a waste of time bc if the ppl that wrote those articles, this article or any other article felt that way then they wouldn't write an article at all. An article usually tends to answer the how's and why's ppl tend to have. Compare it to a war, why would you want to know who won and lost without knowing the reason why? Oh wait, I realize that's a bit above your education level so here's another example. Let's compare to spongebob squarepants, would you watch 30secs or the whole episode? I think you'd want to go with the whole episode.

    Oh, just so you know I freely admit I'm an ass so you're not hurting my feelings or anything by stating the obvious, thanks for trying though and have a good day. :-)

    I was just saying I think saurik's server pulls it from apple's bc I bought my 3GS at the beginning of march. It's a refurb so it's got old bootrom but it did come with 3.1.2 so I was in luck. First thing I did was back up my SHSH on cydia. I downloaded a program that I don't remember the name of right off hand but it allowed me to pull my SHSH file from saurik's server and it's version 3.1.3 stored on there. I tried to do a restore using saurik's server and it kept failing using 3.1.2 but was happy with that. Given that apple stopped signing SHSHes for 3.1.2 back in February this is the reason why I think it gets pulled from apple's server originally.

    You know this doesn't apply to you right?

  5. jpitch says:

    Well said McHoya. With that in mind, where would a novice waiting for the next JB go to learn the basics? When the next JB comes out I won't know where to get anything. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

  6. just sayin' says:

    this is exactly my point. its great that you admit to your own ignorance. my intention isn't to bring you down..since you can do that by yourself.

    i don't think links are a waste of time either. if you are gonna bash on another reader for asking a question (no matter how silly it is), you could at least PROVIDE that LINK.

    but not only that..sometimes, posts from websites like this aren't the clearest to understand. in those instances, it's helpful that another reader comes and elaborates.

    u on the other hand got on just to jab ur mouth at a reader that wasn't quite as bright as you.

    i don't think you're as stupid as you really sound. so why don't u put away the childishness and be smarter.

  7. Craig says:

    And mines a week 36 3GS, which right now is all i'm pleased to say about it lol.
    But well done Tim, if you pull this off deffo a Gold star for you :)

  8. Warneford says:

    You pathetic bullying children. Shame on you really. Why don't you all just go play in the sand pit with your toys. No wonder the human race is so fucked.

  9. TimW says:

    Watch out, Bossy kid in the sandpit!!!

  10. I have to wonder if iTunes will become Apples Mac OS e-book reader. Right now though I could easily leverage a Mac e-book reader that works with Apples new store.

  11. william door says:

    fuck steve jobs

  12. kris says:

    hey you are a fuckin asshole he was just asking a question. u dont have to be a dick about it not everyone is technologicaly inclined fuckin prick

  13. Jerzy says:

    I just applied iH8Sn0w fix and as a result it disabled permanetly my Antivirus software and my computer is significantly slower. Now I have to remove whatever Sh1t it installed.
    Thanks iphonehacks.com!

  14. Tagart says:

    Hmmm…. Don't really think I'm ignorant, I haven't name called anyone like you have either so with that note I don't think I'm childesh as well. Why did I not put a link? Because he already answered the question so there's no point. I'm gonna take a note from TimW's page and tell you that now all you're really doing is boring me. It's the same old song and dance as your previous post.

  15. Tagart says:

    Ouch, that really sucks. I think your best bet is to uninstall itunes. Then do a google search for a previous version and download and install it and just forget about 9.1 for now.

  16. Tagart says:

    You're right, human race IS fucked. Not for the reason you think though. Technology is the reason. I believe that it's things like television and radio even though I thoroughly enjoy them. Dunno where you live but I live in the U.S. If you look at the education system and the constant decline on how much knowledge is taught bc of the no child left behind law you'd understand. I feel that it's bc of TV and video games that children don't take the time to do their homework and study. I understand that not everyone is on the same intelligence level but if they did do their studies we wouldn't have the decline in the learning curve like it is.

    So no, it's not bullying, if you really stop and think bullying is the reason why we've come as far as we have. War is the biggest bullying there is and war is the reason for technology, to have bigger and badder weapons than the other guy. The internet was born out of war. It exists because of the U.S. government needing an infrastructure to communicate with all their missiles during the cold war with the Soviet Union. So thank bullying for you being able to even see this page.

    dont think Id want to stick it to a man….. much less a wrinkly old one ;-P

  18. MrShoehorn says:

    Perhaps he doesn't know what a tethered jailbreak is? I didn't and i've been messing with iphones since they came out. Usually when you put a person by reverting to their education level, it tends to help when you can spell words correctly.

  19. just sayin' says:

    you see..this is the problem..u don't have to think. like you said…i'm stating the obvious. you are ingnorant..and yes..you are childish.
    you don't have to call names to be offensive. the smart thing for you would be to just stop while you're ahead..behind..whatever.

    lets just leave it there..since you can't back yourself up. talk about boring..u just took the words outta my mouth. apparently..you literally took those words outta TimW's post.

  20. Tagart says:

    Back myself up? You're just not making sense now. Rick James said it best himself, "cocaine is a hell of a drug," so maybe you need to come off whatever bull shit you're smoking and act grown up yourself. Stop being a hypocrite and start practicing what you preach there buddy.

  21. Tagart says:

    Found some interesting news for you, take a look at this link, 3rd post. Saurik's server does indeed pull the SHSH file from apple unfortunately. :-(

  22. just sayin' says:

    ok..i'll admit..i am being childish at this point. talk about dropping to your level..
    but u are just delusional.. sittin on your high horse..think you're just plain better than other people.
    i think they have meds for your situation.

    if you would just take your own advice and 'READ'..i wouldn't have to explain everything i say.
    think you're not childish?? back it up..start acting like u've matured.

    i mean..your only defense is quoting other people…….really??
    'same song same dance'..very fitting for you.

    listen..this is about you…
    focus on YOU.
    Fix your OWN SELF. YOU have a problem.
    I may have given you too much credit. you are dumber than you actually sound.

    i'm done.

    If someone asked you the score of yesterday's baseball game, would you tell them to watch the entire rebroadcast at 2am or just give them the score? Some people don't want or need the whole story…

    BTW I found this page by Googling "iPhone tether jailbroken"
