iTunes-10_2_2

Apple released iTunes 10.2.2 which doesn’t bring anything new but a few bug fixes. I personally never encountered any of the issues mentioned in the changelog, but you might not be as lucky as I was.

Whats new :

iTunes 10.2.2 provides a number of important bug fixes, including:
• Addresses an issue where iTunes may become unresponsive when syncing an iPad.
• Resolves an issue which may cause syncing photos with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to take longer than necessary.
• Fixes a problem where video previews on the iTunes Store may skip while playing.
• Addresses other issues that improve stability and performance.

I tried iTunes 10.2.2 with my jailbroken iPhones and was able to sync without any issue, so it appears to be jailbreak-safe…
