Apple has released iTunes 9.0.3, which addresses a number of bugs found in previous versions of iTunes 9. The update provides a number of important bug fixes, including:
- iTunes no longer ignores your “Remember password for purchases” setting.
- Addresses problems with syncing some Smart Playlists and Podcasts with iPod.
- Resolves a problem recognizing when iPod is connected.
- Addresses issues that affect stability and performance.
The “remember password for purchases” fix will be very popular, since it has been the biggest complaint we’ve ever received from iPhone Atlas readers about iTunes.
iTunes 9.0.3 is available for download via Software Update or you can grab the installer from CNET Download.com for Windows and Mac.
There is currently no indication that this update adds features for iPad, but it’s really to early to tell that yet. If you find support for the iPad or have other comments about the update please let us know by posting a comment.
