Apple just released its new update for iTunes: 2.2.1 (5H11a).

Do not update!!!  The Dev Team would recommend that anybody looking for a working JB should not update.

My opinion states: Don’t update unless it needs it.  

The current iTunes and lots of previous versions are stable and don’t really need an update.  The only thing I would recommend, if you have not updated to a version with Genius support already, that you do so. If you have a fair amount of songs and dislike the pains of going through manually to make playlists, Genius is great.

   You might try filehippo.com if you are locking for previous iTunes Versions.

   Hey i’ve done some reseach and there are some reports that the update will brick your phone if you have performed a jailbreak. soo if you have a iphone be carefull. yeah i know theres ways to unbrick it but make sure you guys back up all of your songs, movies, contacts, ect. And i’ve seen some reports on the ipod touch that it will also brick. But this could be wrong, but just be carefull.

   So, after the long wait of connecting my ipod to iTunes, (about 4 months) I decided to see if it needed updates. Sure enough, there was one. I updated. Then, I remember hearing about JB’ing. I thought I’d give it a shot. After much research, even more trial and error, I downloaded QuickFreedom. Took a while, but it finally worked. No problems. Everything is working just fine and it has been for 2 days now. I am a little sad that all my applications and data were deleted, but my iPod is running like brand new. No crashes, and it even seems slightly faster. Me likey
