I was having freezing issues when open iTunes as well. I did the PRAM reset procedure and have not had any freezes since. When the procedure works properly your screen should return to full brightness on the first reboot.
What does new firmware have to do with anything? If there is a problem, which is doubtful, it could be addressed by a software patch.
You could say that about anything new. But I pretty much always upgrade right away and its never really been an issue. The only thing I've noticed was iTunes and that was fixed by repairing permissions and a reboot. Oh, the horror.
No issues with Source games or anything else.
Ok! So the question is: When the Hell will Apple release a new software patch?
Works better for you?
Doubtful????????????
I can't listen to music or my mba will freeze....am i to blame?
Deleting preference files for iTunes seems to have fixed it for me (so far, will see how that goes). But this is obnoxious to have happen with a update.
The approach has never failed me for PC's, Mac's, iOS Devices ...so what's your point?

thanx so much for your advice , shall i wait till apple sends a new update u mean say like 10.6.8 ?
At this point, I think it makes sense for people to report the issue to Apple Support, if you haven't done so already. I'm sure Apple doesn't read every message board out there, so if people don't contact support, they won't know how widespread the issues are and won't issue a fix.
KPOM, I think they know....they can't be that distracted because this is serious business...
i'll wait till the end of the week...if no answer till then ill have to format....painfull but 2weeks is too long for them to say something or resolve this issue. Can't wait no longer to be able to use what i paid for.
I know there are no perfect companies....but this is bad for their image...i dont get really upset because of what happened because i know it will be solved but mostly because of what hasnt happend. No press release, no "wait a little, we're working on it"...that just shows disrespect...
In today's World...people can forgive mistakes but we can't forgive lies or indiference! And some may say....people want everything done for yesterday and are always complaining...well no...we just want to know what's going on as we feel in the right to since the moment we trusted them with our money.
Guess they never learn...

According to some people on the Apple discussion boards, when they called up Apple, it wasn't on their list of known support issues. Remember, it seems to be intermittent. I haven't had the iTunes issue, and I've used iTunes several times since updating. It may well be a combination of factors or particular installations that are causing issues.
There aren't lots of news articles on this. Do a Google search and all you'll see are some articles from 6 days ago. By contrast, the iPhone antenna issue was all over the tech press for weeks. If Apple starts to get deluged with support calls, Genius Bar appointments, and e-mails from angry customers, they'll start to pay attention. If not, they may not. Remember, they are a big corporation and act like it. It's easier to ignore random messageboards than support lines.
Those "tech assistants" who pick up calls are the same all over the world...people who dont know nothing except reading the FAQ out loud for you.
I'm talking about the real Apple employees who are paid to keep track on things like this....i find it hard to believe that big companies aren't interested in the feedback on their products....they gotta go to the consumer and not otherwise....and those engineers, etc are people like us...they must surf the web for something else than fbook... believe me, they know.
As for the pub....iPhone is a different product and that antenna issue was an hardware issue...has more impact than software flaws. It's like saying: we took the time we wanted to make this phone and still we couldnt make it right...forgot people need to make calls...lol
EDIT: If i was cheap i would offer them to hire me to show them some lights on how to keep clients satisfied....we all know its a beautiful product but so are our wives and we sometimes get tired of them either

THIS IS ABSURD. It should've been solved within 48 hours or so, and been put on priority status.
The funny part is that it's not even affecting me. I just don't like the IDEA that it wasn't FIRST PRIORITY to fix this problem.

I was watching a thread (and posting there too) on Apple discussion boards about 10.6.7. issues. The thread got "spammed" with with multiple responses from two persons who called themselves experts. In short from responses: "10.6.7 is good, many run it without an issue, don't blame Apple for this, your hardware is faulty, iTunes is rock stable (after I directed him to one of the multiple threads about iTunes and 10.6.7. crashes I got a response with something like: "there are only 74 people saying this is an issue in that thread and that doesn't prove anything")." and so on and so on...

I posted on that thread about my 11" Air and SC2 frame rates and but after reading some of the replies from those 2 jerks I haven't gone back to see the responses any more and have stopped the email notifications.
According to them if their mac doesn't have the issue yours must be a hardware fault.
