Regarding iTunes 1.1.1:

Installing iTunes 1.1.1 over an older version: a follow-up Yesterday, we noted that you should delete any older version of iTunes before installing the update. Ideally, even if you do not, the Installer should catch this and ask you to delete the older version. But apparently not always - especially if you use Software Update. For example, Raul Regalado writes: "In my case, iTunes 1.1.1 installed properly using Software Update on two machines containing version 1.1 of iTunes. The problem was that the installer did not look for or replace any of the old components. I ended up with two iTunes applications (version 1.1 was inside a folder called "iTunes for Mac OS X" within the Applications folder, which was the recommended installation method for that version), two sets of plug-ins in different locations (the old ones in the folder containing the app, the new ones in /Users/<home folder>/Library/iTunes/)."

    Update: Several readers report that, as a last resort, the iTunes application itself will warn you that two versions are concurrently installed, the first time you launch the updated version. It will give you the option to delete the older version. However, it will apparently only actually delete the old version if you are logged in with Administrator status at the time.

CD burning: successes and failures Readers report a mix of success and failure with burning CDs to different brands of drives. Yamaha drives appear to work well. Que! USB drives appear not to work. One reader also reported that he could not burn a CD with his Iomega ZipCD 650 (USB).

Fix for display problem after running iTunes visual effects Joseph Prisco uses a two monitor system. After running the new full-screen visual effects in iTunes 1.1.1, his screen displays were "messed up." "Running Displays under System Preferences fixed things."
