iTunes 8 Killed AirTunes

This morning’s update to iTunes doesn’t seem to agree with my AirPort Express/Airtunes.

I’ll have to take a closer look after work.
Update:
Well I’ve run the obligatory permissions repair and even made explicit rules for iTunes through the Firewall (not that it ever needed this before). I’ve also restarted the Airport Express unit itself and no joy, still getting the same error.
Update: 19:59pm
Setting firewall to “Allow All Incoming Connections” allows it to work.
This is far from ideal!
Update: 20:02pm
Turning the firewall off then on and setting “Allow Incoming for iTunes” now works.
This is very silly. Fix it please Apple.

Hello MobileMe

Apple MobileMe

Well, apparently any day now Apple will be rolling out the upgrade (re-branding) of the old, much in need of a freshen up .Mac Subscription Service. It seems that I can already send mail to my account “@me.com” (not sure I really like that, thankfully “@mac.com” remains) and for a fleeting moment my iDisk reported that I had 2 TB (Two Terabytes) available to me.. alas in my shocked state I neglected to get a screen grab before refreshing, so you’ll just have to believe me, if it matters, after all, it was there merely for a second. It does suggest however that Apple Employees are for one reason or another, messing with stuff.
Not as exciting as a 3G iPhone I’m sure but I don’t have one of those.
I do have .Mac account and I guess soon I’ll have MobileMe.
It’ll be a change of scenery at least.
