Today in their It’s Only Rock and Roll event, Apple announced the release of iTunes 9. I’m not surprised, this is the same date Apple launched iTunes 8 last year.
What’s new in iTunes 9?
- Redesigned iTunes Store
- iTunes LP

Apple issues iTunes 9.0.1 software update
Apple Store Down: New iPod Touch, new iPod Nano, and iTunes 9 being added?
iTunes 9 download Pwned the Palm Pre today!
iPhone OS 3.1 and iTunes 9.0 update lets you arrange home screen
does anyone know if it is safe to update if you are jailbroken
I’d imagine you can update to iTunes9 but not the iPhone OS 3.1
Correct me if I’m wrong…
Is this safe for JB devices??
I’m also concerned about upgrading to iTunes 9 … my JB iPhone uses FiveColumn SpringBoard. I would think the app management in iT9 would go apesh!t when it reads that! With that in mind, what else may be fubar’d if a JB device is attached to iT9?? I’ll wait for a report before I do any upgrade.
So far so good. I have a JB 2G 3.0 and iTunes 9. I’ve synced (removing/adding apps and updating song info) and everything works fine. However, I cannot manage apps (and pages) as previewed online.
Hey everyone… This is JB friendly. J-Wolf the app management only works if you have updated your iPhone’s firmware to 3.1. If you have older firmware then the app management is not compatible and it just shows a list..
I don’t use anything fancy, though. Beyond the basic tweaks, I don’t have the 5-icon springboard or the sort-icons-into-folders hack.
Just synced my jailbroken iTouch 2G 3.0 with iTunes 9.0. Cracked apps stayed and everything seems compatible. yay!
I’m upgrading to iTunes 9.0 now..
DO NOT UPDATE iPHONE TO 3.1 :X
No way upgating to 3.1 yet… At least for us iphone users. Well iphone 3G users and 3Gs….
Perhaps we shall wait little bit more, at least my Iphone doesn’t have any relationship with AT & T Contract and Data plan, and neither Apple. So no insurance , I will not try to Jaibreak with an unoficial release of rsnw or qpwn… Still my Iphone 3g its on 3.0.1 JB and working as great as ever :) + GoPhone Card from AT&T , it cannot be any better :)
I shall download itunes 9 and update, but no 3.1 if no official JB comes yet!
Thanks for the awesome news :)
Since iTunes 9 is playing well with jb iPhones my iPhone is acting sluggish so I want to restore can anyone confirm that if I restore my phone to 3.0.1 will it all go gravy with iTunes 9?
with thanks.
