TuneUp, Snow Leopard, iTunes 9 - Oh My!

UPDATE (10/22/09): 1.5.91 Release to Fix iTunes 9 Woes It’s official. The latest release of TuneUp solves all of the issues that some users let us know about with the latest iTunes 9. So be sure to update by right-clicking within TuneUp (on a Mac) or checking your systray (on a PC) and click “Check for Updates”. You can also see what version of TuneUp you are currently running by hovering over the top left corner (dark gray area). Again, if you ever run into problems please send a detailed description over to our support page, or check the forums to troubleshoot the issue yourself. Thanks for all your valuable input!

UPDATE (09/14/09): Due to recent changes in iTunes 9, TuneUp may run into issues with its updater, docking and cleaning in general. The core issue is that iTunes 9 now uses your music folder’s name as iTunes’ window title. To resolve these issues until we find a more permanent fix, please follow the instructions below:

  • Quit out of both iTunes and TuneUp : Rename your music folder to “iTunes”
  • For PC: Relaunch iTunes while holding the “Shift” key
  • For Mac: Relaunch iTunes while holding the “Option” key
  • iTunes should pop up an alert for you to choose a library : Click “Choose Library…”
  • For PC: Browse to your newly named iTunes folder and the iTunes library file within that folder.
  • For Mac: Browse to your newly named iTunes folder

Relaunch iTunes and you should be good to go! Hopefully this will help for that specific issue - let us know :)
